Bought My Second Mustang Today
About a month ago I bought a 2005 Screaming Yellow Mustang. In my haste, I bought an automatic V6, thinking it would be fine. It was a great car but I hated the lag at low RPM's with that automatic transmission.
I called the dealer today and asked what he thought about upgrading to a GT. As luck would have it, they had just rolled a Black 5-speed GT off the truck that someone ordered but didnt want. Sooooooo, I went up there and traded. I lost a few bucks in the deal but holy ****, theres no comparison.
I loved that Screaming Yellow Mustang but this thing is a rocket.

That's fine. I've been lurking around for a month watching the "discussions" about that and the V6 haters. This is a great place.

If you paid MSRP or less I'm sure you got a fair deal. Even with the loss on the V6 trade.
I'm saying this in consideration of most V8's being sold over MSRP by about $3,000.
Oh... and welcome to the GT crowd! Enjoy and burn lots of rubber!

Bullitt,
You are right, I dont feel like i was screwed. With all the trouble people are having getting a car, I really kinda feel lucky that I got it. I bought two other cars from them and they have always been straight forward with me. They didnt raise the price above sticker.
