Default Termi Cobra vs Mach 1

I'm trying to decide on getting 2003 Mach 1 or getting a 03 to 04 Cobra or getting 05 to 09 GT I found a Mach 1 for a good price that looks perfect, but a little hesitate because of the power for the Cobra which I love. But with the 05 to 09 thats not a problem on getting. I need your guys advice! What would be a good price for the cars? Thanks!

Well I guess that would depend on how much money you want to spend. The machs are normally within the 10-15k where the cobras are 17-21k depending on mileage and condition. So like I said lol its all in how much money you want to spend.

Plus, the 05-09's can be had, depending on mileage, between $15k-$20k, give or take. What do you want? Straight line monsterous power? Go terminator. Refinement(more modern) go s197.

Well I want to make big power later down the road and something loud like the termi, but then the modern interior of the 05 to 09s

You can make big power with either one, but way more easy with the terminator. The s197 is no slouch, though. Have you driven them? That's what you gotta do. You might hate sitting in the cobra but love the gobs of power, you might love sitting in the s197, but find yourself wanting more power. I'm leaving out the Mach 1, but the same can be said for it.

Well the most I'll be willing to go up to 15k, but I don't know how to drive stick. Which my next car will be stick, so its not really an option.

For $15k you can almost get a 2011 with the coyote motor... if you are willing to put up with high miles and possibly needing some body work. Might be worth it if you are wanting big power in the future.
Or you could find an inexpensive mustang you like and do an engine swap to one of the better motors, probably cost about the same as getting a newer car.
Good luck either way.

I don't to much like 2010 to 2012, but I'll probably just end up getting 05 to 09 because its gonna be mighty hard to find a termi for 15 that has decent miles and good paint.

I do lol its just headlights and tail lights, and plus the GT is out of my price range. If the craigslist ad is referring to this post. It has to be a dealership. ( wasn't positive if it was towards this post )
