Default Which mustang gt to buy?

Hey Guys,

I wanted to get your opinion on which newer Mustang GT to buy.
I'm looking for a 2006-2011.
Deluxe vs Premium?
Which in your opinion is worth getting or not getting?
I don't know if certain years or trim levels are experiencing problems.
Looking to keep it under 20K.

thanks for your input.

I personally love my '06 premium. With that said, in my opinion they just get better every year.

Dont worry about the trim level. Get a mechanically sound clean car. You can always upgrade the interior. With some nice trim accents and 2011 newtakeoff leather my ****ty deluxe interior looks great now.

The 2006-2011 range covers 3 basic cars:

2011 and you get the 5 point oh. 6 speed, but the first year of a new drivetrain.
2010 and you get the new styling with the tried and proven drivetrain that has been made by Ford for about 10 years, but you have to deal with the rear end (love or hate).
2006-2009: tried and true, but interior is not as good as 2010+.

I'd go with the premium. It's a case of wishing you had it if you don't.

In any event, if you apply some common sense and used car buying skills, you should end up with a great car no matter which way you go.
