New car time. What cars are you considering w/replacing your Mustang?

[Johnnybee]

I would not be replacing the Mustang any time soon but at some, and not even really any time soon, my wife’s Rogue will be replaced. Maybe a Mach E so we’re both driving Mustangs, of sorts.

Since my GT is pretty much a racecar now I decided to keep it. I have flirted many times with moving into a 350 but glad I didn't with all the motor issues I've been witnessing with owners that I know.

I also looked into the ZR1 market but that didnt last long.

I'm currently looking into a dedicated tow truck. My current daily is a Ford Explorer which is great but not as a tow vehicle.

I did a 180 degree flip and went for something on the other side of the scale ! I hope I won't miss the power to much .....

Dont forget: Edelbrock makes superchargers for late model Miatas! I bet you could almost keep up with your Mustang !

I prefer buying used, as most performance cars lose significant initial value after a few years. I am finding my GT is bigger and heavier than I am comfortable with. It's a very pleasant car to drive and my wife loves it, so I'll keep it for another year or so. I won't need a back seat by then, so a two seater will do fine. Right now, the C7 Vette and Jaguar F-Type are what interests me most.

Thanks Norm,

fun car it is indeed fun as you say in different aspect compared to the Mustang.
I have coilovers and some more stuff incoming which should make it a blast in the twisties at least

Should still be a fun car, just a different mix of what makes up the fun. Enjoy.

Yeah!
However I am not sure if I have the balls to throw a blower on it
There is also a company(BBR) in the UK that sells turbo-kits which Flyin Miata sells as well.

BBR also has a NA kit that gives 220hp that would have been the sweet spot I believe

A year or so back I bought my wife a 2008 Saturn Sky Redline.
Absolutely the most fun car I have ever driven!!
It only has 30,000 miles.
Wish I had bought a new one when they were new.

Last Summer I bought a used BMW Z4 E89 with 3 liter 6 cylinder and 6 spd manual transmission. This car is everything you wish the Miata was.

probably a pickup cause its more versatile for camping and fishing and shit. Its gotta have a v8 tho.

I purchased my 2016 Mustang GT brand new. 3 1/2 years and 75k miles later, I’ll be getting a new car in the next 4 months.

These are my two candidates.

2020 Camaro LT1 Convertible


What vehicles are you considering with your next car purchase?

Hello,
I was a Camaro guy since 2016 (go back and forth with Mustang GT's) and had a 2016 and 2017 GT Vert.
My advice is buy the SS FOR SURE! It is $3,000 more (but really only $2,550 if you get 15% off the car) and it will handle better, look better and retain almost the entire $2,550 for the SS package.
YOU MUST BUY THE SWITCHABLE EXHAUST, at resale guys want it big time.

You are thinking of being heavy?

I sold my 2018 Mustang GT about 4 months ago for the car that I thought I would enjoy replacing it with, a 2018 Audi RS3.

Turns out, I am not really feeling the Audi, and I am currently looking for a third gen CTS-V.

You know what else sucks, in the four months of ownership, the RS3 has dropped in value enough that my 10 grand downpayment, means absolutely nothing. I won't see any of that money back. The cars worth is about what I owe on the loan

This is typical now. Car prices are too high and depreciation is devastating for new car buyers... especially high end cars. Now is a time to buy lease returns or 1-2 yr old cars.
I just bought a 70k car for 50k at 18 months old and 8k miles on it. And dealer financed at 2.2%. When you can find deals like this, why buy new? Let somebody else take the hit.

I used to only buy new cars. That changed with sports cars. My last 4 sports cars have all been 1-2 years old and very low mileage with 70%+ of the warranty left. Sports cars depreciate way too much. I bought a 2016 C7 Z51 (with a bunch of options) for 30% off MSRP in 2017 (car had 2200 miles). I paid 24% off MSRP for a 2018 GT350 with only 1400 miles in 2019. Etc.

Yeah, I got my '16 new, at the end of '15 there were no used MY16s and I wanted a PP convertible. I did get like $9K off and that was when the PP option was ~$1500 so it was a bargain

Anyway, I decided this time around, I'd do just what you wrote, found a loaded '19 last Aug, 4K miles, mint, like 5 months old (so lots of warranty left), ~$20K under MSRP (~34%). They even gave me a high side trade in
