Thats a pretty nice budget. You should be able to find a well kept older New Edge GT with low miles on it for that price.
^^ this is true. my car in excellent condition is worth roughly $8k with 50,000 miles.

I have to agree with you here. They are way too many at my school too. I quit driving mine to school.

I'd like a WS6 trans am, or a Z28 Camaro, or R34 GTR, or Rx8, or MK4 Supra, or a GTO, or EVO, or STI, or a Vette.

I don't usually like to reveal my age, but for this purpose I will. I'm a senior in high school this year and turning 18 in a few weeks. And yes, for anyone who is wondering, everything I've done with my car has been financed by myself only.

Anyways, there are 2 mustangs at my school (a school of 900 students). Mine, and another kid with a V6 S197. People who don't know cars always think whatever they have is fast (a few exceptions).. there's a kid with a BMW 328i that thinks he's the coolest ever because he has a BMW.

My point is, in my experience, high schoolers in general want the best they can get, who wouldnt? Most of them can't float the insurance for a V8, so they stick with the V6. But it's the love of that old school muscle rumble box that people want so badly!.. hence they try to get as close as possible (not bashing V6s at all, I'm just talking about thought processes). For the most part, the Mustang has always been a good looking and popular car... not a lot of kids know about RX-7s and Skyline GTRs.

The Mustang really is iconic. People instantly recognize the running pony and muscular lines of the car, and when accompanied with a legendary old school sound, people find their love for cars... that's how I found mine! Anyways, I rambled, but there you go!
