Saw on a commercial yesterday was $1000 cash back and the pony option upgrade for free. This was in OH, I would jump on that deal. Good luck.

yea i saw that commercial here in california too. the cool part was that they were drifting side by side with the gt.

Pony package Mustangs do NOT have GT sway bars, etc. Ford literature says "GT inspired suspension".
Plus you get the 17" tire/wheel package - much better than the 16" stock tires/wheels. Foglight grille and rear spoiler are also part of the Pony package. I drove a non-Pony package Mustang convertible on a vacation trip recently and I could definitely feel the difference in the suspension and handling. Seemed like it was slower off the line too ... maybe the difference in tire/wheel size ?
I'm very glad I got the Pony package on my '07.

Maybe not the exact same components as the GT, but it's an upgrade from the regular V6 suspension. I keep reading posts about the Pony package not being worth it, because it's nothing more than some appearance items, and that's not entirely true. The 07 Pony package has a different spoiler (that I don't like), but otherwise I think it's similar to the 06 package.

Find out what your total interest paid at the end of your payment terms would be. In other words find out how much interest you're paying after X number of years on the New 07 at 2.9% vs the Used 06 at whatever interest rate you qualify for. Add that figure to the amount of the car to get a true cost of purchase.
I doubt the savings in the lower % APR on the 07 will come anywhere near the $5K you're saving between the two model years.

Main thing is do a long test drive to see if it has the horrible thunking sound in the front suspension. If so walk away. It will drive you crazy. What it's doing to me and Ford won't fix it.

The Pony handles much better.

Test drove the non pony vs pony... pony does handle better. You can always skip the pony package, grill, all the options, bigger tire sizes, interior, etc etc etc if you plan to change all of that. Like what was said... why pay for all those expensive upgrades then spend more $$$ on replacing them? Get a stock and trick it out

I am happy with what my pony came with and am probably not going to change TOO much of what the pony came with anytime soon. I'd probably buy myself a gt alongside my pony to trick out instead honestly... but that's way out into the future.

the vert has a dif front suspension....the coupe have a missing member, they only put it on the vert to support the front end....someone had a post regarding this, I test drove a vert and it does ride better...no annoying "thud" in the front end.
