Do what you want man. But I'm with some of the people that say don't get a payment. I'm still in school and God knows I want a nice, clean, fast car but first things first. Gotta finish school, gotta save money, gotta get a better paying job when I graduate with my degree. You can get a car with payments that don't seem like a lot but you gotta remember with payments comes full coverage too. You'll end up paying a crap load every month. In the long run what does it matter? I would rather save that money to do other things that mean more. If you are a millionaire and money isn't a thing then do what you like, either way do what you want!

Your right, you do only live once and if you want to go out and get a GT, ya your taking a chance.....but that happens in life. I'm almost 19 now just like you and i just got my sixer, i guess realized that getting a GT was just too far out for me since i'll be going to college soon. When i was younger i always asked my dad why all the old people were driving all the nice cars! I just didnt get it at the time, but now i realize its because they took their time and invested wisely.
But w/e you decide to do, make sure that you can live with the decision.
best of luck

RE: Whats really stopping you from getting a GT?
I'm 20.I could go to the car lot right, trade in the car now+put a nice downpayment of about $2000 down and get a very nice new edge GTor an sn95 cobra (if I could find one).... no problem. Car payment would probably be less than the $190 a month I'm paying now, but the insurance wouldgo up some.
I suprisingly have more important things to worry about now than the car... college. The sixxer isstill a great car with lots of potential... thatI hope to get alotmore potential (supercharger... built engine)right after the time I'm graduate, andget aGT or ls1 f-bodythat hasn't been ragged to hell for a daily driver.

Im sick of my 6ixer.. I mean love it and I think it really is one of a kind.,but I think i have finnaly decided on getting a 2005+ GT vs my 03 6 banger.
Im about to turn 19 and im just tired of it.
1. I only live once and nothing is ever promised tomorrow so why not buy the car of my dreams while im here?
2. you have to pay to play and I understand that..Gas is a bitch but oh well ..style cost money.
3. Even if I do the supercharger package for my 6ixer ..I can only dream of touching a Gt.
4. If i do the supercharger....im forced to use premium gas.
I used to be one of those people who dreamed of owning a v8 with the 6ixer but...I cant take it any more. I cant take damn GT's, Mazda...even a damn saturn effing with me at the stoplight and me having trouble shutting them down.
I figure the GT will be 350-400 per month (Based on my down payment for the GT)+ my damn insurance which is already around 200/month...It'll probally go up to 300 something.
Am I a fool for wanting a GT? ...i mean they dont get much less mpg then us and hell ITS A GT!
Thats my rant..Im just curious as to what is holding some of the guys here back from getting a GT.

Find the balance between what you want and what you can afford. I sure as hell wouldn't be driving a V6 mustang if money wasn't an object, that being said, I am extremely happy with my car.

RE: Whats really stopping you from getting a GT?
if i saved my money instead of doing things to my car and sold mine i could get a nice sn95 gt (i like the body style and would stay with it) but its my first mustang and its hard to let go of. I've had a few people i work with wanting to buy it off me or trade plus cash but I can't seem to let go of it.
