I had cloth on my 2010. I got leather take offs, and had a local shop install them, cost me $450 total and looks fantastic.

Both cars are good cars. Performance between the two is close. The 8hp more that the '13 has is not noticeable. Leather seats are nice and comfortable (don't know about the cloth). It's really going to come down to what you want and like more between the two. Tough choice but I'd go with the '13 knowing no one else has owned it.

Hard choice. I mean both cars are awesome. And regardless to who or what, you can always modify both of them to your liking.

If it were me and I have the money to blow without any hardship, I'd probally go for the 2013. However, if I had the money, but wanted to save some extra cash for some modifications, I'd probally go for the 2011.

Man, the choice is difficult and is really based on what works for you practically.

Good luck. Either way you choose, your choosing a MUSTANG!!!!

I would go with the 2013 and then get some new take off leather.

there are so many nice new options for the '13 that you don't have with the 12 that it would be a no brainer for me, especially if we are only talking a max $2k difference.

seats are not an issue because you can get takeoff leather for less than $500 total down the road.

me, I'm happy with my '10 GT

Very tough choice! In one hand, you have a premium GT and on the other you have a brand new 2013. I would really like to have the TrackApps, but if you don't mind not having it, go for the 2013 GT! You can always get some leather take offs later on down the road. And if cash is not an issue, you can get some custom ones.

Default Cost on a base 2013 GT

Anyone out there get a 2013 GT base model recently? Talking NO options, cloth seats, etc....total bare bones.

I know prices vary on location, but I'm wondering if I can get one for $25-26 OTD?

Thanks

I think that's being a little hopeful. I'd say 30-31K would be the lowest.

I prefer the appearance of the 2011, but there's nothing like the comfort of owning a brand new car. I'd probably take the 2013 unless you knew the 2011 was very well cared for.
