Default New looking to buy a Mustang

Planning to buy my first Mustang soon
So
Trying to decide between the Highland Green Bullit or Torch red Mach 1
So I'm wondering which is more uncommon?
Also does the difference in horse power make that much of a difference?
I'm really looking for something you don't see all over the place.
Because around me I see a lot of GT's

If you are trying to get something that looks different from a GT get a Mach because there is more of a distinguished look.. a bullit will look just like a GT mostly because its just a glorified GT

I would but my dad says no to one. I also like the Bullit and Mach 1 more than the Cobra

That is what I was kinda thinking but wasn't sure. There is a Mach 1 down the street from me and I love the way that car looks

I'll try to get the Mach 1 than. The Cobras in my area I have seen in the price range, are not in good shape

80,000 on a 03. That kinda scares me. But the price is pretty low on it.

I found some with 50,00 for 18 the one I'm looking at is 14. Also I'm going into the military soon so it will sit a lot. So it will balance out mile wise I hope

Definitely get a Mach 1, you won't regret it. They are a very stout car and probably the best n/a mustang Ford has built.
