GTP You know, the solution is quite simple. If no one parks on the right side of that spot, why not back in? Free reign over your driver door, and no one but a motorcyclist can be an asshat. Also, what I would've done (maybe not if I had a Mustang) is just edge the back end of my car out enough...

Oh boy... :doh: How'd that one get solved?

Okay, so I've decided something: I'm not deciding yet. I've been racking my brain the past two weeks, weighing every option, running thousands of numbers, and the thing is, none of this is going to happen soon. No matter what option I choose, be it saving my money and not buying the Mustang...

Yeah, I'd thought that I was just definitely going to get the EB, because I can actually afford it, but I'd forgotten to include my down payment. I mean, my $43,000 GT Premium build is now quoted at only $339/month compared to the $194/month from the EB Premium... Either way, that means waiting...

I have a system where my account auto transfers roughly 15% from every paycheck into my savings, and 5% into a seperate account that I'll pay into my retirement fund as soon as I figure it out. It's not high on my priority list to figure out, because at least I have a decent amount going into...

Basically, this is just me talking about my finances. If you want to tell me why it's a bad idea, then read on and tell me your thoughts. Otherwise, don't waste your time. Haha, it's funny how drastically the tone changed. Well, I've been going back and forth. I've done hours of calculating...

Yeah, I haven't had the chance to hear (or feel) a V8 yet, but I also don't think it'd be worth financially crippling myself for a nice-sounding engine I can't use. Also, I'd be happy to own an '86 Mustang. Right now I'm leaning towards the "Don't be a fool, you're not buying a new car" choice...

Thanks man, this was some helpful advice. I was thinking about not getting one yesterday, and started instead looking at any used mustang ('05+) that was less than $10k, and I actually found an '08 in very nice condition in my town. I'm gonna check it out in a few days. The Austin thing is...

I know. But in reality, I plan to finance for 3 years. Own it as soon a possible. Treat it like my first born, with 93 octane fuel and fully synthetic oil. Cover it every night. Take it to the shop twice a year, change the oil three times a year (4.5k miles). If I treat it well, I could get 10...

I know it's not too brilliant an idea, and other users have expressed this to me. I am not planning on jumping head first into this. If I do decide to get a Mustang, it won't happen until June at the absolute soonest. I agree that I don't fully know what my expenses will be, that I can only...

Right now the only finger I'm holding up to the man is a thumb and a very heartfelt tip of the hat. I'm extremely lucky to still have my license, though even that's up in the air. :D JamesinLittleSilver I touched on this in another post. It's a tough choice, but I think the features in the...

I know, what I'm describing sounds like I should go for the V6. Plus, I like V6's, and it's cheaper. The only problem is it doesn't offer all that the EB does. Though, thinking about it, the EB is an extra $8000 for a slightly better fuel economy, Pony Package, Adaptive CC, leather seats, and...

Well that was what I was wondering. I was just asking the owners of said cars why they thought the GT was worth it. And if it was for the speed, then I'd know it's not worth it. Also, hadn't checked how much hp that GT produces until now, and having never owned a RWD I know 400 hp is too much...

Alright, thanks all for the helpful feedback! I actually like these forums, the people seem decent <3 From the sound of it, I'm leaning toward the EB: $6000 less, more fuel efficient, less insurance, weaker engine (good in my case). But I'll have to wait till I test drive both to know for sure...

Zelek Oh hey, also just noticed you're in Austin. I'm planning to move there either this year (if I don't buy my Mustang) or next year (if I do). What's the traffic/commute like? Does the stiffer clutch on the GT make it harder?

I've actually already quoted myself for insurance, and the EB is only $50 more than I'm paying. Haven't quoted the GT, though. It's also not like this is impulse. I won't be able to buy for another 3 months. And by then I'll have researched every dollar I'll be spending. ... That said, a Civic...

Little note: I'm not saying I'm definitely buying the Mustang. I'm just asking that, in the event I do, which one should I buy? I understand it may be better not to buy one yet, I'm just looking at my options :) I've also thoroughly researched insurance premiums on all 3 engine choices and it...
