I would think you could find one for 70 or 80 a month..even if it was 100 if I was in your situation I would find a low mileage car someone babied and then pick up a storage spot...
This way even in the snow you can go over there and polish it inside. Bit that's just me : )
Hmmm how about buying used and using the extra money to rent a garage at a storage place..you can pick it up on the weekends and it will stay nice and clean?
Have you seen an 18 in person? They look better in person. I just wish they didn't make the hood so umm flat. Other then that I didn't like at first but seeing in person changed my mind.
Buy a used GT. If you have a room mate I'm assuming you are renting? Save your money for a down payment on a condo and buy used. If I didn't own a house condo exc I probably wouldn't drop 40k on a depreciating asset that's going to sit outside in Colorado winters and potential future hail storms.
Just a question. Not jealous. I could sell my 67 GT500 and buy both a new 18 GT and a new GT350 if I really wanted to. Actually I could have bought an 18 GT if I wanted to without selling the 67- hate to say it but my 17 GT is my beater car....I drive her 30,000 miles a year- most of in heavy...
If you don't want to look like a penny pinching git then buy the Shelby. Don't settle for just the GT then you will look really cool. Super models will throw themselves at you. Traffic will all pull to the right. It will be as though Jesus is your passenger.
I'm having same decision issues as you..of course revving higher in first will put the rpms higher when you shift to second...but then again that long second and third...grrrrrr ahhh need more input!
A 67 Mustang GT 390 car is faster then a 67 GT350 but the 67 GT350 is worrth more. The new GT350 won't take much of a hit because Shelby. And lower production numbers help.
