Default Need everyones help!

Ok so heres the deal, right now i have a black 06 v6 with 24k miles on it, that i only owe about $7,500 on. But in my area (and others im sure) my dealership is offering 0% financing for 36 months, or 3.9% for 60 months, plus $2007 cash back, lifetime engine warranty, plus free oil changes and free tire rotation for life. Now i love my 06 v6, and have no problem with the size of the engine, im perfectly happy with it, but in the area of resale value, i feel like upgrading to a GT now would work, basicall i can handle the higher monthly payments, id jus be tackin ona couple more thousand to how much i owe on he car. Any suggestions on what i should do? and if this is a good deal from the dealership or not?


Also upgrading from an 06 with 24k miles on it to a 07 with 0 on it wouldnt be too bad either!

If you have no problem with paying for it, then go with the GT. You will be glad you did... but if you have any uneasiness paying the extra money, then dont....

It sounds like a really good offer from the dealership; pending on the offer for your car and the price of the GT of course.
There are 2 big reasons why you should not do it.
1. If it doesn't fit into your budget
2. If you are truly satisfied with the performance of your V6

The reasons to do it though outweigh the reasons not to! 210 hp vs 300?? Helloooo??!
You owe alot less on your car than it's worth right now--big plus. And, resale, like you said, is always higher on the GT.

You'd probably be financing around $16,000 on the GT with your trade, I estimate-- go for it!!

If I didn't owe $14,000 on my 6, I'd trade.

Sounds like you are in a pretty good position in that you are not upside down with your V6. You will love the GT....I'd go for it!!

Beware of the stealership adding a scratch or two with these "free" items.

Check on insurance rates B4 you do anything further. I'd hate to see you get the GT, and then find out your insurance jumped $200 a month.

the 0% for 36 months will most likely be upgraded to 60 or 72 months after the middle of august. but the selection may not be as good.
