My reasons were many, as far as the cost, well lets just say I saved a bundle!

And who doesn't like 0% ?
I would love to trade in my v6 but i am in negative equity. Plus i put an aftermarket exhaust on there so not surehow that will affect a trade in value.

That's awesome to hear! I've really been debating on trading my v6 in for a GT because I drove one recently and I'm in love. Bad move on my part because I knew I would. Anyways, I was just wondering what the insurance difference is for the v6 and the GT. I heard it's an insane difference.

Geico wanted $400 dollars more for a GT (6 month premium). I shopped around and found competitors asking about $200 more than what I pay now. I'm 24 and live in the DC Metro area. 1 accident when I started driving like 7 years ago. No speeding tickets. One of the biggest reasons why I'm going V6 is because I can actually get a 6 month premium that's lower than what I pay now! It'll be even better once I turn 25.

GT is a great car, I'd rather have it no doubt, but it has some hefty residual costs (gas, insurance, tires etc.)

$200 extra for 6 months premium id say is very reasonable at 24.

Dnt worry V6 brothers....within a few years we will all have upgraded to a GT. Then there will be a new population on these 3.7 forums and we will be the GT guys. Enjoy your 3.7s while you have em. I sure am.
Agreed! No Hurry.

No, that doesn't sound too bad. Just wait until some of you younger guys get some years on you and keep a good driving record. I'm in my mid 40's and I think I pay a little over $600 a year. Full coverage. It'll happen guys, it'll happen . . . . .

I upgraded from my 13 V6 to a 16 GT. Incredibly happy with the move. I think just about everyone with a V6 or EB longs for the GT but yeah the overall price is higher. I've looked at a number of GTs and spoke with many dealers until I got a deal I can live with. Trade in on V6s are relatively low. I paid $20k for my premium with Nav and pony package. They gave me $15.5k which is more than fair. I had it 2 years and it had close to 60k. They let me keep most of my mods which i sold back on CL. The insurance went from $80 to $95 a month.
