Termi or my 06 gt?
Okay guys, I need your help. I'm 18 years old and I currently have a 2006 gt with 64,000 miles, leather seats, Mach 1000 sterio, and some extras. I was looking for a terminator before I bought this car, but couldn't find one. I am now thinking of trading or selling my car for one. The values are pretty close to some I'm looking at.
Do you think this would be a reasonable decision?

I'm guessing this would be your daily driver so I would vote no but regardless what I say or what anyone else says it's going to come down to what makes you happy.
The reason I say no is because there will be more upkeep costs with the terminator than your 06 GT. Feeding that supercharged engine is going to cost more compared to the GT especially if you don't regularly use premium fuel, insurance will almost certainly go up and depending on if you're financing monthly payments will almost certainly be higher as you can't get extended loans on cars older than 05'. I guess it really just depends on your budget. I also think being 18 that may be too much car but I don't personally know you and your driving habits so that statement could be the complete opposite and being that you have experience with a modded GT I'm sure you'd be fine.

I drive roughly 20 miles a day to school, work, and home. All highway miles. Do they get pretty good gas mileage?
And I wouldn't have car payments on it.
I love my cars, I respect them and I know they can easily lose it. The Cobra is my dream car. It'd kill me inside if anything happened to my car, let alone a cobra.

My LX is the one Mustang I have always wanted.....untill I saw the 03/04 Termi. If I could, I would trade my LX for one in a flash. Although a Termi Vert is not my cup of tea. I say go for it, even though the S197 body style is starting to look very appealing to me. If you get it post pics, those things are awesome.
