Default Test drove a 2013 today

I test drove a 2013 GT premium today and let me tell you. It was very nice. Couldn't believe how much nicer the interior and ride quality was than my '06. The reason I went for a drive is Mojo is having wiring problems (within the ABS system) and I'm honestly just about tired of dealing with these issues with my daily driver. I might be purchasing a 2012 GT premium 6 speed with 3.73s, Ignot Silver with black leather seats. The price I'm looking at is 28K (~$450/month) which is a pretty good deal with rebates and x-plan. I'm looking in to whether or not I should pull the trigger financially but I am very much considering it.

Well if you do trade it in "De-mod" it as much as possible since they are not going to give you back what you have got into it.

I would be keeping the '06 for a full resto down the road and garage queen...still thinking about it. I can swing it financially but the mod money would be pretty much tapped out if I did. Girlfriend OK'd it but my father, AKA my mentor, thinks it would be a bad move. Still thinking about it. I'll keep you guys posted.

Wait, a 2012 or 2013? What about finding a nice barely used 2012 or waiting a few months and getting a barely used 2013?

Sorry to hear about Mojo, but I can understand what you mean about daily driver problems. Though not as complicated as ABS electronic glitches, one of my old wheels were dented and caused a bad steering vibration. Couldn't afford to fix it and it was annoying on a daily basis. Infuriating haha.

Whatever the choice you make, good luck Baker.

I'd be stoked to test drive a 2013 gt. Only I wouldn't leave the drivers seat without having to buy it out the door
