Default Cry for me!

So, after months of deliberation, I've decided on a 11'-12' GT Mustang. I've looked into getting a bare bones 13' GT, but here in Washington, one can't be had for under 30k (still a decent price, but I've budgeted myself for no more than $25-$26k).

So, I've gotten my finances in order, loan approval from my credit union and three days off this week to go look at Pony's!

I LOVE black for a Mustang, but some of the reds look pretty slick, but I feel if I settle I will have regrets (was thinking maybe a nice low mileage 08-09 GT, but I want my 5.0)

Car #1 & 2....both 11' GT's, both sold this last Saturday

Car #3 & 4....both 13' GT's and the dealers wouldn't budge from $31k and $32k OTD

So, my search continues. I think finding "my" car is going to take longer than I thought. Patience is a virtue, right?

Yes it is....rushing into it isn't a good thing.

Any leftover 2012's still on the lots? To each there own .. but everytime I see a 2013 I'm really happy I got the 2012. A JOB 2 late build 2012 would be the best .. it has all of the latest revisions for problems that come up in 2011 and early 2012's .. mostly MT82 issues

Just keep an eye out and don't get attached to any specific car. You could end up like me paying 19,240 and then later find a for sale sign in the car that says 17,999

I can't get any FORD plan....I have no family members OR friends that work for FORD.

I'm actually REALLY struggling with my plan to purchase.

I do NOT want to go over my $300/mt plan....which means a used 11'GT for $25-26k

Part of me wants a brand new...no one has ever driven her.....Mustang, but the best price I've been quoted (mind you...this is over email..NOT face to face) $30.k OTD

My payments would be $340-360/mt.

So struggling with this decision
