Just out of curiosity, why did you trade out for the red 2010? Just wondering, cause I thought(in another thread) I remember you saying something was wrong with the previous model you owned??
Sorry if im totally off about that.... But im just a curious little bugger lol =D

Nothing was wrong with my OTHER 2010 (Grabber Blue). I traded it for a Flex when I got custody of my kids. Things were tight financially and I could not keep the GB and get the Flex. Things have changed and I now have the "newer" 2010 Red Candy GT. Financially I did not want to go the payment that i would have had on a new 2011 5.0 Premium. I would have been settling for something I really didn't want if I tried to get a 2011 5.0 Deluxe. I'm not sayign that those who got the 5.0 Deluxe settled... for ME it would have been because I WANTED the premium upgrades.

Everybody is different. I'd rather have a 2011 5.0 stripper as opposed to a 2010 premium. My reasoning is things like seats, stereos and the like can be added later, while still having the updated motor & drive train. An added benefit is the 6 speed transmission and increased horse power can mean better mpg too.

This happens to EVERY car. Eventually when they upgrade the Mustang again (2014?), you're going to see the 11+s plummet as well. It is the way of things.
Glad I bought mine new for 23. I've only put 1400 miles on it in the past 6 months. I'll hold onto it for another year, then trade it off. It shouldnt be too bad on value vs what I'll owe, since it'll have about 5000 miles on a 2 year old car. Hopefully I can swing a Vette or similar next time.

To answer your first question, yes, any Korean car, lol.

The 10 Mustang has higher quality materials, better fit & finish, handles better, MUCH less road noise, & is FASTER.
5 months ago we paid $25K for our 10 Mustang GT Premium auto after getting $9,250 off MSRP. The dealer currently has all remaining 10 GTs listed for $8K off MSRP.
Below 3,000rpms the 10 GT has more power than the 11 GT so if you are a mild driver you would be better off with the 10 GT. If you like to play hard go for the 11 GT.
