If not, would you consider an older model GT? You can find a decent deal on a used GT under $20K within semi low miles. Just a thought.
Honestly I was never interested in the stang until they came out with the 3.7 v6...I like having my cake and eating it too, so for me I like the power and fuel economy.

Honestly, I looked around auto trade and that's one of the best prices I've found...

I understand, especially they way gas prices are today! The V6 will never have the exhaust rumble like a V8 though.

With all the driving I do (100 mile daily commute to work) the v8 would cost me an extra $200 a month in gas...

Plus getting the v6 is almost a one for one swap, the GT would be adding like $8000 to my car note.

I'd go look at it, the description says it's a manual but the pic shows an auto. Who knows what else they are BS'ing on?

In regards to the older used V8's, (05 - 08), I seen prices here ranging from $15K - 18K.
Good luck with your search and let us know what you decide!
