It really comes down to how much you want to spend? Payments or not? Do a lot of research before you buy anything.

7K down on a brand new GT is pretty good though. I'd def take the 11 if I were in your shoes. I'm pulling for a slightly used 11 GT for the summer.

I've seen a few 11 GT's (premium) used with like 3,000 miles going for about 28K or so already.

Okay I have seen a new 11 Gt for 30640, new 10 Gt for 27000 or a used 08 Gt for 20000 but I am sure they will go down. I can afford the notes just don't want to have regrets about my choice.

What are your goals? Are you just looking for a good cruise-mobile? Or are you looking to dominate on the track?

The best thing to do is test drive them and do lots of research. Don't just settle on one spontaneously

Those are asking prices, my friend. I'd laugh hysterically at any '10 over $22k and any '08 over $18k. This must be your first car.

If money isn't the issue I'd say go for the '11 GT. Just do your pricing research so you're not bending over at the dealership.

Yeah I know they all are asking price but I don't plan on paying that for them. I was just give an idea what is in the area. This will be my first mustang and I really don't plan on racing it but I heard when you get a stang your attitude changes.

A good cruising vehicle that sounds and look great. The only mods for now will be intake and exhaust.
