Default What to do..

I'm not sure what to do here maybe a little advice. I am interested in another vehicle. The three choices I am weighing right now are a SVT Lightning(used), a 2014 5.0, or wait for the 15 5.0's??? Thanks for weighing in on my dilemma.

I love the new 2015. Unless the 14 is way cheap I don't think they're worth it. But I think the lightnings are pretty cool.

so you're talking about two brand new cars, one of which has not been released, and a 12+/- year old truck.

Whats the budget

Well I work at a Ford dealership so I get a huge discount on a new car but I kinda like the Lightning. Obviously I'm gonna buy one with low miles which I see a few

Your choice there hombre. Are you asking which car is "cooler" ?

If you plan on getting a Lightning, make sure you check out some Lightning forums and read the FAQs and DOS/DONTS sections.. I loved my L, and want to buy another one eventually

Is that the case Whitefox? You should keep waiting so that they get older and more beat up. #seewutIdidthurr?

To me it would be no brainer. I'm really not a fan of the 15's look but it's brand new, has a warrenty and will beat almost anything on the streets. GL man

^^^ This. But since that wasn't the question. I would personally wait for the 15 or 16. The Lightning is an old truck. Fun yes, but older and beat up.

I don't like the S197 looks although the '11 to '14 are the better looking years imo.

The '15 will have markups at first but should come down after 9-12 months. I keep reading a rumor about a flat plane GT 350 as a '16 or so. That is the one I am waiting for. I'm a big fan of the '15 looks, except for the rear bumper. I am going to see it tonight in person so hopefully it looks better in person.
