Ready to buy a Mustang...AGAIN = D

[USMCSKYLINE]

Okay so I finally got rid of the Lemon that tormented me for a year! (2006 GTO) although it was fast, it was plagued by problems. Im ready to jump back into a FORD. That car made me hate GM cars! (well...except the corvette ) Anyways, I've been searching and I've seen a few good deals I think. 2005 Mustang gt with 32xxx miles with a Kenne bell supercharger for $18995 from a dealer. 2010 Mustang GT "Stock" with 7k for $20500 from a dealer. 2003 Mustang Cobra in "Mint" condition with 9k for $25999 from a dealer. I've already had a 1999 cobra & a 2003 GT convertible so what do you guys think? The 2005 Mustang sounds like a good buy cause of all the upgrades but it sounds kinda fishy...

Wow, bad experience with the GTO huh?

I would look around for a used 2011 Mustang 5.0 if I were in your shoes.

Aww man! I had a 2004 GTO and absolutely LOVED it. It had its quirks, but man it would fly. I convinced myself that I wanted a truck and missed the car the whole time. Now, 2010 GT, and I love it, but it is not as fast (stock) as the GTO was.

Any good deals for a 2011 GT?

Yeah the car always had something go wrong...I guess I just had a bad experience but sbradle4 you're right it was really fast.

If you get one lightly used I bet you could argue it down pretty far, I'm not sure exactly what the going rate is these days, still more than the other cars on your list though, more like 24-25K

Also if you're thinking the 2005 might be the right choice, I'd keep pushing down the price a bit, it has a lot of upgrades but it comes with risk, and most buyers won't want a modded car so they should really want it off their lot.

I'd vote 2010 overall. Good bang for your buck, low risk purchase, and low miles so the car still feels pretty darn new when you hop on in. Plus if they have it listed at $20500 there's still room to pull down the price since they expect you to negotiate.

impo:
#1: given only these choices i have to say '10 gt,
#2: i prefer the 05-09 body style but would not buy this 05 unless i personally know the previous owner(s) and know what has been done to it and how its been driven, maintained, i doubt that it has a warranty so there is no point in adding margin for a dealer.
#3: looking at the 26k of you last choice and your comments i would look for a base, stock 05-07 vette.

+1 On going for a vette

[2008MustangGT]

Or get the nice, new 2010 and put a blower on it.

[loots06]

2011 or 2012 great interest rate. 2010 in under powered unless equiped with a SC.

Get the 05 GT! Better body style, awesome power, can kill most cars you will run into on the street.
