Should I TRADE or...
...I seen a brand new 500GT sitting on the lot today. $45,000 sticker price in the window with a $20,000 "dealer markup" added. Thats $65,000 plas tax, title andtag.
Now that I have seen the car in person...I WANT IT! Hereare my thoughts:
1) Trade in my 06 GT and get the 500 and bit the bullet on markup, added insurance premium, etc.
2) Send my 06 GT tp a company called "LegendMustangs" and get the full treatment. Body moldings, 20" tire and wheel combo, lowered, painted, supercharger added, interior upgraded etc. This would run about $22,000.
Granted it would still be a 4.6 not the 5.4 but it would be badazz. Given the 2 options, what would some of you do? Or something different? ALL opinions welcomed and encouraged. Thanks.

It's GT500.
There is a lot of talk about left over 07's going for sticker price now since 08's have or will be arriving soon.
Your GT is only going to depreciate in value regardless of what you do to it. The GT500 on the other hand has a huge collector market right now and in the long run it could potentially be a good purchase depending on how fair of a price you pay.

Dont forget modding your stang like that will void all manurfacturing warrenty so also take that into mind. If you have any problems, they will not cover it.. Unless it's just apearance mods then they will...
The GT500 will have full warrenty and you can still customise it the way you want. You could also talk them down some. Probably an easy 10k on the price.
