Trade in auto 06 for manual 07?
So, recently I had posted a while back that my06GThad gotten broken into and I had some stereo stuff stolen. Well, I'm still waiting for the dealership to get the parts in and repair everything, but I've been toying with the fact of whether or not I should keep the car now.
My reasons for wanting to change is one, get a different color other than tungsten grey so that my car won't be a direct target again. And two, after riding in a friend's manual, I was blown away at how much funner that looks to drive! Do you guys think it would be worth trading in my 06 automatic GT, which has about 14,000 miles for a new 07 manual GT (end of year clearance sales should be nice)? I was thinking of trying to see if the dealer could maybe keep my same car payments once I trade it in, but only extend my loan one more year. It was three to begin with so if anything, I would losewhat I have been paying for the past year, that is IF the dealer would go for that.

I was thinking either Torch Red, or Performance White. I think both colors look very sharp on the Stang. I always wanted to do the Torch Red with black racing stripes, so we'll see. I think I may stop by the dealer on the way home from work, yeah!!!

go for the '07 manual. manuals are the only way to go ina sports car. they are a blast to drive, the clutch to me is getting better, at first i did not like how high it felt, but after a few weeks now i really like. just one question though. you do know that a red mustang for the longest time was the most commonly stolen car in the country. i love your two color choices but if you are trying not to draw attention to the car do not go with red. but i must say the torch red is a great color with the black interior. good luck with new stang.
