Default taking the leap...

As you guys knew I screwed my car up pretty bad hitting that deer... well I thought about fixing it but shes got alot of miles... so I went to the dealership and they offered me 800 for my stang, I'm thinking of getting a 2002 GT 5 speed with 68000 miles on it...
371 a month for 4 years..... so should I do it guys?

Way too much for a GT. Shop around more.

Don't know about your area, but around here, I'm thinking about selling my V6 for $4-$6k depending on what I can get and have been browsing the GT scene and have seen the 99-04 GT's going for as low as $7k with 60k miles. I wish I had shopped around more when I bought the six and just gotten the GT instead!

as in my sig, i made the leap, prepare to pay a small fortune in gas. My Gt had 71k miles, IMMACULATE condition, black leather, 5 speed, tinted, MACH 1000 sound, clean carfax.It ended up being $10,200. listen to everyone at MF when they say shop around.

800 bucks, even if the body damage is significant, sounds a lil low. if it runs, you should get a lil more than that. id sell it to some kid who wants a project car, then take everyones advice and shop around. dont forget about the guy who found the termi for what was it? 12k? lol. if you are willing to have a 400.00 car payment, you can probably get something a lil nicer or newer than a 2002 gt. good luck, my man.

Agreed, I pay a lot less a month. Take it from me, a leap to a gt isn't enough, get a 4v. Either cobra or bullitt. Or buddy up with bill gates and get both.

Even if all the dealerships offer you a ****ty ammount for the car, part it out then, im sure you could get alot more of of it that way.
