Default What Car to Buy!! Long thread..Please read

Well right now I have a 2006 V6 mustang. Im hoping to get the X charger soon.. I have 2 months left to pay on the car and its mine. It has 34,000 miles and is in great condition. I put alot into the car so far... So to the ???????

Im deploying in June and I want to either get a 2004 Cobra or wait to get back and look into the 2011 5.0... A friend of mine has a 04 KB Cobra and it is of course amazing.. I never liked the new edge body style much but I love the cobra and the power and what you can do to make easy HP in the stock blower, plus the power it can handle stock.

Then there is the New 2011 5.0.. Im not to big on the 2010 and up body style either I like the front just not the rear of course.. Im kinda leaning towards the cobra just cause I can drop $10,000 and only owe like $8-$10,000 to finance compared to droping $10,000 on a 5.0 and owing who knows for how many years..

How much are the 2011 5.0 going for? Im leaning toward a 70-30% chance with the cobra winning. I just wanna make sure I make the right choice. I def not gonna trade my 06 V6 in though.. Just make it a fun car to drive and when people are like ohhh that V6 hahaha its so corny, then Ill have a cobra or 5.0 to play with lol. I know this is long I just wanna get my head right and see what you guys think.. Thanks alot..

I just got back and had plenty of money. Just save up and worry about the car when you get back. You'll probably be able to buy the '11 cash, since it'll be the next model year by then. I got my six because it was cheaper, then had the extra money for all the upgrades I just bought and to live comfortable for a while.

Sell your 6 and put a lot of money down on a '11... Thats what I would do... I came back from Iraq in '07 and paid cash for my 2008...

To me, it's hard not to go with the new 2011 V8. It's going to be a really nice car. You'll have phone sync and a much nicer ride.

Really depends on what is most important to you. Sheer power or having power plus the newest ammenities for your car. That is the choice you need to make. It will be much easier to sup up the cobra since mods for 2010+ are still trickling out.
