I sold by V6 about a year or so ago(because I had a kid) and when I just got my GT the insurance went up $95 per month. I'm 22. If you can swing the payment get the car that you want. Also think about the gas. I use alot more now then I did, also because I drive the car alot more.

Heh Good advice, it makes a difference if you take baby steps when dealing with cars, my advice would be to save your money and put in the bank, or if your dead set I would just modify what you got, hell make a fast v6 and laugh in the faces of the v8's who dog ya.

Hey man gonna have to go with the majority on this one. I would say go for it. Buy what you want but ensure that it dosen't come to bite you in the a**. You're a young guy and the last thing you want to do is f*** up your credit.. Good luck.

If anything, save up and buy the car in full. I could have bought a few really nice lower mileage GT's and had them financed, but I don't know what the future holds and I don't want to have to sell the car to pay off a loan. IMO be sure you can buy the car outright. The insurance is almost as much as a payment if not more so I didn't want to sped $500+ a month to own my car. Now I can mod and know for sure what $$ I have.

Yeah haha even if I sell my car to break-even from what I had before and start with my extra $2,000 and keep saving all winter I won't even be close to that. Thanks for the advice though everybody. I understand there will be a power boost but I'm a very mature and safe driver for my age. I've been driving for 2 years now and haven't even been pulled over (surprisingly not in the Mustang either, although I obey the speed limits). If I can sell the car, I'll sell the car for a good price, if not I'm just stuck in the same situation I am in now. And I don't really want to go money crazy spending on the v6 because when I do go to sell it the resale even with the upgrades won't make a big difference in the end so to me personally it seems pointless because weather now or later I would like to purchase a GT.

I DO!!!!!


If you are worried about resale with you mods just keep all the oem parts and then when you trade/resell it put it back to stock and sell the aftermarket stuff seperately. Or, mod and keep the v6, pay it off then buy a yourself a brand new GT in a few years and park them side-by-side.

I think back to when I was 20 and thinking how in the hell I would have ever afforded to buy a $40,000 car. geez... the world has changed hasn't it?
