Default Right Decision?

What's up my Mustang Brothers & Sisters,

I ordered the 2011 5.0 with all the trimmings (Black, Manual, HID, Security Package, Shaker 1000, Hoodscoop & Pedestal Spoiler, Comfort Package, 3.73 & The Brembo Pack) on October 17th and am trading in my 2010 for it. I also wanted the GT Rear Deck Panel, but the dumb *** dealership said I had to get the CS package for that accessory...WTF? My ***! LOL!

I would lose about $5000-$6000 for the trade-in and my car is worth $22,000 now.

Do you guys think I made the right decision?

Only you know the answer to that question. Clearly though, in your case, the bad decision was made when you bought the 2010.

If you put the new 5.0 in my name, then you made the right decision...

When are you planning on ordering the '12?

what model 10 do you have...I gave this a thought to get a 11 for the Premium package, kinda wish i woulda got it on the 10, and I have a GT base 2010 no leather or anything and the dealer offered me 25,000 for mine..it only has 3000 miles on it though. I decided not worth it and keeping my car.

I currently have the GT premium, but I have ~ 9300 miles on it.

Yeah, my dealership advised me to keep my 2010 because of the depreciation, but then again, the 5.0 made me change my mind...

Do it, brother, if the wallet supports it. I'll be looking closely at what the '12's bring myself. Both sons out of college = money to play with. I bought the '07 after making my last tuition payment for the oldest boy:

"David, I have good news and bad news about your graduation gift. The good news is, I bought a Mustang. The bad news is, it's not for you."
