I already own 2 Mustangs ( a 2001 GT and a 2002 V6 ). I really love the new 2005 Mustang GT. There is really nothing that I don't like about it. I really don't mind much with the exposure of the mufflers. Overall, it's a really nice retro-looking vehicle. It looks MUCH BETTER than most of the Mustang models that were built in the past by Ford.
I want to buy one, but I will have to wait until the end of 2006 or until the beginning or middle of 2007 before I buy one. First of all, I want Ford to get the bugs out of the original model which they build. Secondly, I want to be able to buy the new Mustang with the Ford rebates. And thirdly, I already own 2 Mustangs and I will need to hold on to them until I have racked up enough miles on at least one of them in order to sell it so I can buy another one. I just purchased the Ford 7 Year/100,000 mile Premium Care Extended Warranty for my 2001 GT that only has 1,279 original miles on it. I don't drive my 2001 GT at all and I want to keep it longer than my V6 Mustang. So, if you look at it this way, I still have over 4 1/2 years and 98,700 miles left on the 2001 GT until the bumper to bumper extended warranty runs out.
I am also thinking about purchasing the same exact Ford extended warranty for my 2002 V6, but probably will not purchase it until the late summer or fall of 2004. It depends on what mileage I will have on my V6 Mustang by then. But if I also buy the extended warranty for my 2002 V6 Mustang, I will at least have another 65,000 miles and/or 4 years of warranty left on it. So I can keep driving it for at least until early to mid 2007 before deciding whether I should sell it for a brand new 2007 model year Mustang GT. If I do sell one of my Mustangs I would ONLY sell the 2002 V6 Mustang and I would in return purchase a brand new 2007 Mustang GT. I don't want to sell my 2001 Mustang GT. I want to hold on to it.
So, this is the dilemma which I am faced with here. I love both of my current Mustangs and I also love the new 2005+ Mustang GT. For me, I will need to find the right timing to purchase the new 2005+ Mustang. What about some other people in here? Do you also own more than 1 Mustang which you love a lot which you do not want to part with here?
