Default Possibly looking for a NE GT

I've been thinking a lot lately about selling/trading my car for a 01-04 GT, or maybe a 01 Bullitt. I'm trying to research it a lot since I'm on the fence about it and want to make a smart decision. Is there anything in particular to lookout for when buying?

as long as its 01.5 up most of the bugs were worked out.

how is this going to put you financially? is it going to be a near even trade? or is it going to add to your debt or what?

i can't say if its something i'd do without seeing the details on your car and the one your buying. how much are you willing to spend on the new car?

I was hoping to do a near even trade. For example, I found a 01 Bullitt on craigslist listed for $10k and Kbb's private party on my 05 is around $10,600... There are also a couple other regular GTs for $7-10k I was looking at. If I had extra $$ to put into/for a car, I'd either throw an X-Charger on mine or trade it in for a S197 GT.

I have no problems with keeping mine and it's not a financial thing, just if the right deal came up and it worked out, I'd love to have a GT. Otherwise, no big deal

Thank you, I want to make sure I'm not doing anything on a whim or something I'd regret

I know that, I was just saying a Mach in that condition with those mods is probably out of my range

Well as far as performce the Bullit has like 5 hp more than the stock GT, so, I think you're really paying for the name here.. The Mach has like 305 hp to the crank IMO outclasses both the GT and Bullit by a wide margin.. Also can't get pass the shaker man that sh** looks sweet..
