Mustang Noob
Hi all,
I'm in the market for my first Mustang so I'm looking and learning.
I like the 2005-2008 models but I'm needing direction/info on differences. I see Shelby, GT500, Saleen...not sure of the differences and am not huge into performance muscle cars. I come from a Suzuki/Yamaha/Kawasaki sportbike background, performance and modding so I imagine I'll be getting into it with whichever Mustang I buy.
I like the low, wide front end on the Shelby but want an automatic transmission (ya I know I know...) and I'm looking for something in the $15k-$25 range. I already came clean that I'm a noob so please don't flame, I'm just looking for a little guidance. Thanks in advance!

RE: Mustang Noob
from one noob to another...welcome. If you're looking in the 15 to 25k price range, probably the only thing that will fit that category is a used gt. Shelby's are gonna be 2 to 4 times your price range, depending on what you're looking for....

RE: Mustang Noob
I just got my first Mustang (bought itused)a few months ago myself after many, many months of patiently waiting and searching for the right one for me. I came close to buying a onetwo times before I ultimately found a great deal and a great car. I'm sure as long as you look around everywhere you will find the perfect one for you. Welcome and hope you find one you like soon!

RE: Mustang Noob
Welcome to the forum. Roush, Saleen and Shelby cars will be out of your price range for the current body style. Motor Trend or Road & Track just had an article explaining all of the differences with after market mustangs. They even had an article on the Bullet. Anyway, your best bet is to start with a car you can afford and slowly add to it... of course, learning in the process. That's have the fun.
