If you dont mind me asking what did the dealer give you for your v6? how much did you owe? and what did your payments go up to?

only thing that kinda bugs me is do i really wanna get myself in a 4 year loan paying for a car that already has 40-50 thousand miles on it........

my v6 now has 37,000

Now i want me a GT.
I understand, I wanted my GT for about a year but when I first went to go trade in they said they would give me 4-5000 below what I owed and sometimes you just have to tell them to go pound sand. Look at it this way, with your trade, you'd be paying 21000 for an 05 GT with 50,000. Look at what GT's that sell for 21000 have. I paid 21000 for mine and it is fully loaded with just 21000 miles too, and that was well over a year ago. Ending up that much more in debt is just not worth it. I know it isn't what you want to hear but it is true.

Yeah very true. Not denying that your right. If i can find a decent deal ill jump on it. I want a lower mileage car at a decent price. Just cause the values gonna drop so fast and im iffy about buying a "sports" car with to many miles just cause their typically driven hard. On the other hand tho most people with nice cars take decent care of them.
