Default Buying my first MUSTANG

need some input.

i'm trying to pick between 2 mustangs

yellow 04 V6
leahter int.
40608 kms
14,950$

Black 05 V6
28,186 kms
16, 800$

both auto transmissions
both mint interiors.

i don't know much about cars at all. need as much input as possible.

i test drove both of them and they both run awesome. the 05 feels stronger though. i'm used to driving an 89 deville so my perceptions of speed may be skewed.

I may be bias, but I would get the 05, I just like the style better than the 04, plus it has less miles. Good Luck!

Also, I assume your in Canada? I guess that would explain the KMS, right? If you are I don't know about prices for them there, but where I live 16,800 is kinda steep for an 05 auto v6.

yeah canada, i also like the 05 style much better but i gotta dig the 04 style and colour. these prices are pretty good here, from what iv'e seen. i've been lookign to buy a new car since about september and i've looked at a ton. prices are pretty solid. it's from a dealer, i get free oil changes for 3 years, plus i'm pretty sure the 05 might still be under warranty.

a v8 was my first choice but i could barely find any plus i'm weary of fuel consumption. i know my 89 deville guzzles and it's a pain in the ***.


the first thing i'm gonna do is totally clean it up and take pictures.

i'm a photographer, so it's only logical.
