Default New Stang?

Hey all, I used to own a 2001 Silver Vert Auto V6 mustang. Last january i traded it for an 06 Acura RSX-S with 3K miles. Well payments and insurance is really killing me so i'm considering possibly an 03 or 04 GT. Just wanted to get some input on what you guys think and if anything when looking what to look for like problems etc. Thanks alot!

you going to pay more for the mustang GT becouse it has a v8. if your going to get a mustang and you dont want high insurance i would get a v6.

and your going to have to spend more money to buy a new car then if you were to keep it. just keep the rice

Just got back from the dealer, I found a new 04 GT w/ 36K miles and with my trade in they want about 900 bucks. That's also with my car being priced @ 16K when i'm sure I can sell it private for around 19-20ish. Hmm..... how much is insurance about a year? Right now i'm paying about 3700......

i see you play battlefield 2 whats your rank?

Shop around for insurance. You can get quotes from any insurance company before you buy the car to make sure it will be less. I had a ford focus before I bought my gt and my insurance went down $50/month. I couldn't believe it. I had 2 or 3 pts on my record from a speeding ticket too but they are suppose to be lifted after 3 years from what I remember (as long as you don't get anymore in that time).

250 a month is less than what i'm paying now, right now I go through allstate and its 1800 every 6 months. I'll still be on my parents account so going to a diff compary is really out of the question but I wouldn't need full coverage because it's not a new car however =)

First thing I would look for is rubber in the rear wheel wells.

Just an fyi and correct me if I'm wrong but it doesn't matter if the car is new or used. If you have a lien you must carry full coverage. Besides that would be plain stupid to spend that much on a car and only carry liability.
