Yeah i was at a ford dealership today with my friend looking at GT's cuz he is going to get one and (i had no intention of even looking at cars formyself) i saw a 04 blue mach 1, beautiful car so i said to the guy i said i want to test drive it, so i did then i test drove a 02 lightining (frickin awesome). Then i had them appraise my car -almost 10,000, so i said why dont i see iff i can talk them down on the price of the mach 1, they wanted 25 for it with 30,000 miles, i was like heck no, so i talked them down to about 20,000, so i was like im gonna do it, so i was about to get myself a real nice mach but then i said to my self i love my car, I have no payments, so what is the point of having payment for basically the same car, and i would have to start over on the mods,
so this is why i am an idiot, i would have gone no payments to payments and NON-stock to Bone stock, man i am glad i didn't do it!!!!!

 

good choice.. maybe if it was a cobra id take the payments on...

 

yep i had to apologize to my car after i left the dealership, she was pissed! lol

 

i'm surprised she turned back on! haha

 

I'd of done it

 

Do it!!!!!!

 

why would you of done it?

 

You take off your mod's you can on your GT add them to the Mach and damn you have a really fast Mach.

 

Yeah i Know, but the payments would be a pain in the assssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss!! and i love my car ya know

 

now just put the money away that would have went to car payments every month and before you know it... supercharger

 

Yea I know that feeling

Now if I found a Black or DSG Cobra for around $22,000 sitting at my dealer my baby would be gone

 

Yep me too, there was a 03 red vert cobra there but i dont like verts, but i'll tell you what i was reall close to getting that 02 lightinging , those babys are pretty quick

 

hell yea....well my baby's gone already...but i'd scoop it up without any question

 

Yea a few months ago there was an Black 03 Cobra Vert at my local dealer for $28,000 with only 6000 miles on it that almost made me trade.If it had been a hardtop I might be driving it right now.

 

I can't remember the last time I saw a Cobra sitting on a lot for sale. No one around here wants to let theirs go. ********.

 

I guess the moral of the story is that i will never be satisfied with what i have i will always want more!!:censored:
but im gonna wait until after college, f school

 

Man, about 6 months ago I was in the same exact situation you described....and bye bye 03 GT Vert and Hello Mach 1! I racked my brain for like a week straight and I kept saying the same things you are......then I went back to the dealership where I found it and it was gone! Thankfully they only moved it to a different dealership and I went and picked her up. I've only done some very very basic boltons to my Mach and it would run circles around my GT and plus the shaker is cool.....what I'm saying is DO IT DO IT DO IT DO IT

 

how much did you pay?

 

I paid $22k and it had like 27,000 miles on it.....the dealership also gave me $16,500 for my GT vert, but that just washed out what I owed on it.

 

well they were gonna sell it to me for 21 plus 9200 for trade in and i dont owe anything on my car soooo, pretty good deal? 27,000 miles 2

 

Yeah, I would say that's a pretty good deal! One thing I would do is try to find someone that works at Ford to run an Oasis report on the car.....the report would show everything that has ever been done to the car at a ford dealership.

I wasn't sure about buying a used car when I knew the car I already had was perfect, but I took a chance and everything's cool so far. But if you can get an Oasis report it's even better.

 

question: being how men love their cars more than anything(including gf i've noticed most times) does this mean if u were going out with someone for however long u've owned ur car, but saw a new girl.... we'll say slightly hotter or maybe better body, "[u're] baby would be gone?"

 

lol for me no! I have a fiance that i love and wouldn't trade her for anything, But my car on the other hand i couldnt say the same thing, i love her and all but there will always be a better or faster car out there and i have to accept that:wallbash:

 

well, that's good to hear! something makes me wonder if ur an odd ball out though

 

I kinda promised my car i'd keep her, you figure the price of the engine swap and extras/good times and experience doing it all over the years, is priceless, think about if you dad gave you his 69 Mach as your first car...

 

i think if he gave it to me I would buy another to drive to school/work. and then just spend all my extra time/ money fixing it up and keeping it as my weekend cruiser and under a cover in a garage during the week to keep it all nice and perrrrdy....

 

true, but still, a friend in HS got a 65 white stang that he learned to drive manual on, lol stalled out idk how many times, but yeah I always thought that would be cool as hell...
