Default pulling the trigger?

The dealer let me bring home the 07 GT I have been looking at- I love it!
2 questions though:

1. I live in PA. This will be my daily driver. If I get dedicated snow tires and rims am I going to have a problem? (I lived two winters in New Hampshire with an RX-8 and had no problems but the car did have a 50:50 weight distribution)

2. Do I buy it tomorrow as the incentives may expire on July, 9th or do I wait thinking the incentives will get better closer to the arrival of the 08's?

I appreciate any input.

Pull the trigger!

We have two 06 Convertible Mustangs in Alaska. Both were driven year round the first winter. Once the S/C was purchaced for the GT it was PARKED for the winter. Wife or daughter drove the otherMustang all winter only got stuck once in about 1 foot of wind blown snow.Summer tires for both cars are 255x35x20 front, 285x30x20 rear BFG KDW2. Winter tires are 245x45x17 Studded Pirelli winter carver. Nice wintertires for a car with under 335hp..... NO MATCH for a car with 500+hp on ice!!!! Both cars are lowered so snow IS an issue more sonowthan when stock. If you can't run studs there may be better winter tires for either ice or snow, you would know your conditions better than I. I will say both cars get around muchbetter in the winter than I had thought they would.

i have no inside information but they haven't even had their "model year end clearance" yet. should be in august or september.

but selection will be much less especially if you live in a small town and aren't willing to travel to purchase...

I bought my 06 at the end of august when they came out with the 0% interest. as long as there are plenty on the lots you will get a better deal if you can hold out another 6 weeks
