If you read I crashed my 02 5 speed sixxer a bit ago.. So when talking with my parents about how I was gonna buy a used 99-04 GT, we agreed best thing to do is just buy an effin new 2010 GT! So stoked, gonna get it this weekend.. Black 5speed

 

So let me get this straight, you're parents just gonna go buy you a brand new 2010 GT after you just crashed a 2002 V6?

Back when I bought my first car (00 v6 auto), and swerved to miss a deer and instead went in the ditch, my parents thought I should go buy a downgrade! Haha, so I went and talked to my banker and came home at 17 with a loan for downgraded 1996 Mustang GT, so what if it was supercharged haha...but boy, one week I got sick and missed a few days of work, and let me tell you something, having a car payment and insurance wasn't fun.

 

Yeah, thats a bit ridiculous....wow Why you wouldn't suck it up and wait one more year for 100more hp is beyond the though. Seriously, suck it up for a year and if you can seriously talk them into buying you a brand new mustang get the 5.0

 

Dude.... what he said

 

Dude he said 2010 GT. Its the 2011 Thats going to have the 5.0 and extra hp.

 

shouldnt have said anything.. lol.. im paying for it just parents are backing me

 

oh thats different. I still say wait for the 5.0.

 

Alright cool beans man!!! This makes you sound 100% less like a spoiled brat, haha!!! But either way, yeah if possible just find something cheap to drive for a year, like really cheap. Save up even more for a higher down payment and get the 5.0L, there's already tons of people I know that are so angry they bought a new Mustang already and missed out on this. A buddy of mine is trading in first chance he gets.

 

i know, but i needed a car and i was a huge brat about getting a 8 cylinder stick, so instead of buying a used car(was looking at a 2001 GT w/ 71K miles) my dad calls me up saying get over to the ford dealership and bring your college diploma ( you get like 1k off for recent college grads), he got me the showroom car and bargained the **** out of them so it was a pretty sweet deal (i think around 29k and they started at 38k lol..)

so my dad is helping me out with the payment so it was lower, but i am paying him every month as if it was the dealer.

As far as the 2011. I know! Who knows, maybe in a year I can sell/trade in my '10 GT and with the money i saved switch on over to the 5.0?

Still always gonna check out the sixxer forums though! Learned everything I know from here bc I was always obsessed with the GTs.

 

Do NOT get the 2010, you will be kicking yourself.
Wait just a couple short months and get the 2011 Coyote.

2010 = 315hp SOHC 4.6L
2011 = 412hp DOHC 5.0L with a 7k redline and so many other goodies.

The price went up about $1000 from this year I think, so $1000 more is well worth the extra awesomeness!

Also, sorry to hear about wrecking your car.
