Default New Mustang problem/dilema

If you had a chance to go from your 2005 V6 Pony (27000 miles) to a Brand New 2007 GT Premium left over for $100 more a month in a car payment, would you? I need your honest advice guys. Thanks. [sm=smiley6.gif] I don't know what to do?

If you really wanted a GT, yes. If $100 more a month will break you, you shouldn't be buying a car anyway.

+1, it really depends on if you can afford it and what your payments are right now. If I had my payments now and only had a V6 I wouldn't be able to afford 100 bucks more a month. But if you can afford it do it.

Absolutely! For about $3.00 a day you could have a GT which is way more fun, exciting and will hold it's value much better than a sixer. Also, you won't have to spend all that money that others sixer owners do who try a make their's look like a GT..........you'll have the REAL THING!

I would say hell yeah dude, but consider too thats it's not just gonna be an extra $100 a month. You have to include more $$$ at the pump and more $$$ in your insurance bill. If you can afford that, then "thug life" (pinaplle express) :P
Good Luck

I agree that if you have to consider the extra $100as beingan issue herethen dont do it.The added cost is more than 100 every month. More gas, more mods, more insurance etc.There is nothing wrong with the car you have, keep it until the money allows for the upgrade.

i went through the same deal last year man. this to everyone else though. if you can afford it, do it. full coverage on my v6 was $85 a month and when i got the gt if went to $95 a month. not to bad. and yes my payment went up by the same $100 you are looking at. i dont regret my decision at all. everytime i start my baby up i get a smile from ear to ear. good luck with you decision

as long as that additional $100/month doesn't put a strain on your budget, heck yeah! have you checked with your insurance to see if it is going to go up too?

im with everyone else,if you can afford it do it.insurance usually will go up about 10 to 20 dollars more,the main thing ill look at is how many miles you drive a week and how much money is gas around your area.
good luck but ill promise you wont regreat it
