we all have choices!

danlon3.8 · 04-20-2008, 06:15 AM

Ok, so being mustang owners i have found that we have alot to choose from for our cars. fortunetly we have all the cool people on mustang forums that help us out.. so the choice ive run into is this:

should i hang on to my 2000 v6 stang and fix it up and make it "my own"
or...
Should i upgrade to a 06 or 07 mustang GT?

thoughts anyone?? haha

if you have the cash and a good money income and etc. go for the 06-07GT,but if you wont have money to pay for it and w/e stick with what you got.

Ok, those two options don't really seem like two feasible roads to travel. Two completely different price ranges. If you have the money to upgrade to a newer GT you should, even if it isn't an 05+
However, that is going to cost ten fold what it would to make your V6 'yours'
Please explain

well by making it "my own" i mean i would love to just put alot of work into it and mod it and things over time. maybe repaint it and stuff then be able to stand back and say yea i made my car this nice and have a sense of pride about it. but at the same time i like the new gts theyre pretty sweet haha so idk what to do yet cuz i can put my money into my car now or i can save it up and just buy a new one

Dave04Mustang · 04-20-2008, 08:19 AM

if its in the budget go with the GT no questions asked. Sure you can make a sixer fast but just the sound of a v8 closes the deal

01FR500 · 04-20-2008, 08:22 AM

Chalk up another vote for the GT.

danlon3.8 · 04-20-2008, 09:19 AM

yea im just worried that it will be more trouble than its worth because at the same time that i have to pay it off im gonna wat to buy things for it and that tends to add up

stangcharger · 04-20-2008, 10:29 AM

depends which one you like.

for way less than it would cost to buy a new GT you could build your engine, buy a turbo kit, upgrade tranny and rear. and run 500+rwhp.

So it is really what you want and like more.

The 05+ Gt's are nice but my favorite body style is the 99-04.

2007grabbergt · 04-20-2008, 10:35 AM

'07 GT vote here. Of course, I am a little biased.

danlon3.8 · 04-20-2008, 11:29 AM

haha nice man i like the color. how much did you find it for ( if u dont mind me asking)

2007grabbergt · 04-20-2008, 02:00 PM

Thanks. It was listed for something like 23,500 with 10k miles on it. I think I got it "out the door' for that. It has a few appearance mods and was pretty much a new car. The guy who owned it (for a year) traded it the minute the Bullitt came out. My first mods are on the way (JLT CAI and SCT3 custom tune)

*JackThe Ripper* · 04-20-2008, 02:19 PM

Hey, i have an idea,

lol

nyheyman · 04-20-2008, 03:08 PM

I vote fix what you have!!

FlawlessEnvy · 04-20-2008, 03:14 PM

I vote....BUY JACK'S, however a 2007GT is equally as badass

3.8for the win · 04-20-2008, 03:21 PM

if you have the money for the car and the insurance get the GT or better jacks GT.

your selling yours? why and for how much?

*JackThe Ripper* · 04-20-2008, 04:18 PM

Selling cause when i bought it i was single with no kids and i could afford the payments easily.

Now im married with 2 children and i just dont really need this extra car payment. So i plan to sell the mustang and next spring buy a mustang 5.0 project car.

she bluebooks at 16,900 (NADA Bluebook) and i have over 5,000 into her. I am willing to sell her for 17,000, not a penny less.

She just rolled 30k on the odometer, she is in near perfect condition mechanically and cosmetically.

2004 Mustang GT Auto Premium w 40anniversary package (painted mirrors, no spoiler, etc)

She turns a LOT of heads.
