Don't do save your money or get a used gt500 for the same price of a new one I went to the dealer to look at their first 2013 gt nothing to brag about but their asking 31,000 for a gt with no leather and a six speed so your basic gt is around there I rather buy a used mustang with shelby's name on it or just keep working on your car I paid a little over 30,000 back in 07 for my gt withe the premium package and a auto trans and now 31,000 for a basic gt with just a new motor they can keepit! I drove one back in 2011 when they first came out it felt like my car stock, when the sales person said feel that power when I hit I told him that this 5.0 should feel like my car with all the stuff I did not like a stock 4.6! point of my ramblings keep yours and keep working on it or go get a shelby!

That's the best way to do it. For me, everybody was passing up the 2010 GT's for the 5.0. The dealer had to move the 2010's. There were two left. The dealer knocked off $11k off the MSRP. They moved fast - one of them into my garage! The 5.0 was nice, but I couldn't pass up that deal. I'm really happy with the 4.6. With the 3.73 rear axle, it's almost as fast as the 5.0 with the 3.31 (or at least that's what I tell myself). I'm sure by end of summer, the dealers will be really anxious to get rid of the remaining 2012's.

You have already gotten over the worst of the car depreciation, first 3 years, so you are not losing much on depreciation earch year, and you are debt free. I would say pull the trigger. Some people trade their cars every two or three years, they lose a whole bunch on depreciation whether they are leasing or buying.

I say trade it in for a 2012 model if you wish. You might save a few bucks as the dealers start getting in the new 2013 and pushing the '12's out. The 5.0 Coyote blows away the 4.6L, I think either way you'll be very happy you did it.

Only you can answer that question. I am personally satisfied with my car and the 4.6 engine. I have made it mine and am pleased with the performance it produces.

Sure, the 5.0 would be nice, but I don't take my car to the drag strip or auto-x it. It is a fast, fun, and reliable daily driver. I am satisfied with my 4.5-4.6 0-60 WOT runs with the mods I have done to it.

If you desire more power, look at Brenspeed for a supercharger package. I think they have 0% financing for 1 year on big purchases, so you could split up the bill by 12 and have a car payment-like payment for one year and a faster car.

I just traded in my 2010 GT for a 2012 GT. It is a night and day difference performance wise. The incentives to move the 2012's are so good right now I could not pass up the deal I got. I was prepared to order a 2013 but am glad I went with the 2012. In the end, I got a 2012 Premium Brembo for a little less than I could have gotten a 2013 Base.

soooo if you're not in debt at all... you should grab the 2013 GT500 at 650hp... just sayin...

Or stay in the 4.6L and wait to see what the 50th Anniv has in store!

Incentives on 13s suck, mind as well get a 12' for 26ish
