Ah, no, the Termie at this stage is just a used car, maybe in 10+ years it'll be looked at as something special(especially in original condition, which usually isn't the case[&o]). You'd be better off supercharging your '07 and what 'til your not so upside down(if you're making payments on it, that is) on it. You're talking about a boosted 50,000 mile car here, who knows how many of those miles were the "drive it like you stole it" mode..................

I say stick with your 07. It's new with 1200 miles on it (miles that YOU put on) ..

Who knows how that cobra was driven? Even if it was driven like a granny (which I doubt), it was still boosted for 50,000 miles, so the internals and clutch and all the accesories are starting to wear out!!

Being modified, odds are those 50,000 miles were mostly driven hard. Test drive it, thoroughly inspect it. To me, it sounds too good to be true; but who knows, maybe you found an awesome deal.

Just to give you an idea how strange that price is, there is guy in the 4.0 section right now that is looking at buying an 03 Mach 1 with 39k miles, completely stock except for a k&n dropin for 18k.

Just my .02, but I wouldn't do it. Having owned two SN95s, the S197 is 1000% a nicer car to live with. Roomier, better quality materials, and the driving position doesn't make you feel like you're sitting ON the car versus IN it. Sure, they sound like pure sex, but a few mods to your 07 and it would sound just as nice, and have a warranty![/align][/align]RCP[/align][/align]

I think the S197s are the overall better car, but there is definitely no denying the power of Terminator.
