I saw if they give you more for your trade, then go for it.
It sounds like a very nice car, I seriously doubt that you would regret it.

Ha this is from someone with the piece of **** T-5, its worth having a Mustang IMO.
My car is in the shop at the moment getting fixed.
I would say if you really fell in love with the Mustang then get it.
Every car is going to have an issue at least with new cars you have a warranty.

go to kbb, i would not pay more that 30k for a used 11. u can get a 12 around where i live for about 6k off msrp with rebates and price mark downs. i could not live with the 10 and down interiors.. the 5.0 has alot of history and is the best engine to ever go into a mustang...period,,,,

The '10 has the same interior as the 5.0 hah, in any case though, I agree with basically all of this post

Pardon me for being rude but A) the 5.0, even the DOHC, is NOT the best engine to be put into a Mustang, period. I would definetly go with the 5.4.

And if you're referring to the N/A mustang (lets remember the NA Cobra R in 2000), you could argue that every new gen Mustang has the "best motor put in a Mustang period". So that being said, the next Mustang engine will be better than the 5.0 in it now.

However, the 5.0 is an AMAZING motor and has great potential. But I would still take the 5.4.
