RE: Little dissapointed, but it's all good
ah i forgot about college...that will be a major variable in the plan. im currently applying for grants at the moment, but might have to get a loan. the communtity college im going to aint all that expensive but it's still enough to cause me to watch how much i pay on the stang.
and im a very responsible driver, the red light thing was kind of an act of random stupidity. trying to make it through the yellow (6am no traffic, but one friggin cop to catch my focus's rear run the red). i know excuses are worth nothing though and im not gonna be trying to beat the yellow nemore lol.

RE: Little dissapointed, but it's all good
im pretty sure my monthly payment wont be over 500$...but my insurance is what im worried about...but if the 05 is cheaper on insurance than the 07 i might still go for it.
btw if it helps the stang im looking at is an 06 premium for 24800.

Community college isn't too expensive, but I dunno, things can pop up left and right.

RE: Little dissapointed, but it's all good
You got it!! I picked up a Red 90 GT out of Georgia...as in absolutly no rust....with low miles, a few mods already installed for 3500.00. All I need to do is put some new tires on it, spend a little time with some rubbing compound, and Presto!!

im 18, live with parents but they wont help me. im guessing the reason my insurance is high is cause i got 3 points on my license for running a red light.

RE: Little dissapointed, but it's all good
You need to factor in atleast $150 per month for gas. That's what it costs me and I only drive 15 miles to work. I'm surprised you're even considering it with what you make and how much insurance will be.
Are your parents deeply in debt too?

i really think i could afford the GT on my current budget if my payments where right,cause i would like to have some money to use for other things.

RE: Little dissapointed, but it's all good
You only live once??? So, why spend that ONE life struggling??? Keep your Focus...pay it off and move out on your own...you can't get laid in the back seat of a stang(well ok but it's REALLY difficult!! LOL!!!)or at mom and dads house...plus what's better? Having a fast nicer car and living under someone else’s rules...or being one of only a handful of 18 year olds living on their own?
I had a Focus before the Stang and really liked that car...smokes any other car in its class stock for stock (ZX3 model... the sedan is a little slower).
