So a couple weeks ago my Brother-in-law bought a '03 Terminator Cobra. He's had this 1996 a few years and offered it to me and my wife. I'm looking for opinions on the value of it. I have it for an extended test drive, and am seriously considering buying it from my brother in law. I was able to get it on my buddies lift the other night and go over it. All repairs and paint will be performed by me, and with the help of friends on the mechanical things. He's willing to sell to me for $5500. I think it's an ok deal knowing what he has in it, but would like the groups opinion.
155k miles
The good:
Kenne Bell Supercharger, bought used 3 years ago.
New fuel pump (assuming stock)
New wheels and tires (Toyo r888)
New brake rotors and rebuilt calipers
New koni shocks/struts and front lowering springs
New Flowmaster muffler-back exhaust (tailpipes rub the rearend)
MGW shifter
03 Mach 1 seats, interior overall is in good condition.
Rust free, just has some surface rust on the underside of the car.
The bad:
Paint
Clutch
Steering rack
Right lower balljoint
Oil pan (has very small pinhole forming towards the front)
Needs A/C diagnosed and repaired
Needs rearend rebuilt (he installed 3.73s last year, but it is howling)
Burns oil, not sure how quickly as I haven't discussed it with him yet, I had to add a quart+.
Throttle cable needs work, throttle actually stuck open on me a little bit the other day.
RPMs surge when cruise control is set
Trip meter doesn't work
Looks like some previous owners used the core support as a jacking point
