I hope I am posting this in the right section, anyways I am thinking of selling my 2007 V6 soon and I am thinking of getting either a 2010 GT or a terminator cobra. I am sure people have asked this question before but I want to know from you guys which you think I should buy. There are a couple of things you should know first

1. My car has 58,000 miles on it currently and is in good condition, a couple of knicks and scratches but besides that good. I want to try and get $12,000 for it.

2. my budget is $20,000-$23,000 so a 2011 is kinda out of the question unless I can find a really good deal.

3.this is going to be a daily driver, driven too and from school every day and wherever on weekends.

4.I am not going to be putting in premium fuel for complicated reasons I dont feel like explaining.

5.Power is not a priority for me I care about looks more than power and I don't really race. I would like a powerful car but it's not a selling point for me.

6. I dont want an 05-09 I prefer the looks of the 10-12

So thats it, any input would be much appreciated.

2010 GT...premium fuel is required if a blower is involved. #3 is another good reason to pass on the termi as you don't want to run miles up on a car like that IMHO.

If you don't care about power then the 03 would be a downgrade from your 07. Srs, if you don't race and you're just using it as a DD, the 2010 is so much nicer to drive.

The 2010 would make the better DD, I dont think it would be a downgrade in looks if thats what you mean I do love the look of the Cobra. I just dont want to shell out extra for premium.

Diabolical!

Well then that settles it. No premium = no cobra. Enjoy your '10 GT.

("I can't afford premium fuel" isn't complicated or hard to explain.)

It's not that I cant afford it, ok I didn't want to have to explain this but I currently get my gas from my fathers truck yard he owns a local paving business and he has a gas tank to fill up his trucks. And he lets me fill up there too, now It's free gas but it's not premium its 87 I think, so that is the reason.

if you are going to use it as a daily driver i would get the '10 especially if you are already getting 87 for free.

With your situations and reasoning explained, get the '10. Hands down.

2010 without a doubt. For many of the reasons mentioned. A nicer driving vehicle. It will more than likely not hurt as bad on the resale side either. Nice easy mods for it as well if you choose to do so.

As stated above, get 2010. My neighbour a few garages down has a 2004 Terminator. I've taken it around the block a few times. While it will blow my car away, it rides like crap. I feel like I'm riding in a Cadillac when getting back in my car. His car makes noises like an old motel bed. You get the point, the 2010 is a smoother ride.
