    how do you justify buying a NEW car?

    Everyone is entitled to their opinions, but I think so many people have misconceptions about used items is general. These people usually think linearly in that, if it's used, it has problems. Let's be realistic here. First off, I don't remember the release of the 99-04 body style, but I'm...

    how do you justify buying a NEW car?

    I would justify buying a new car based on how much $$ I have. If there was $200k sitting in the bank account, I wouldn't think twice about buying a new Mustang if I wanted one. However, that's not the case, and I couldn't justify buying a new car at this time. I bought my 99' GT in 2000...

    The 05 is the best new car of the year

    IMO, the new Mustang could be a poor car, and it would still sell better than many cars on the market; I doubt it'd die. The Mustang has such a large fan base and brand strength, that I doubt Ford would ever let it go. If the car is released with problems, I'd bet the design team would correct...

    Yes, the interior was nice. When I got in, it did make me want to take it for a spin.

    First off, the original GTO was not my generation, and I haven't really been following the new one too much; so, keep that in mind. I'm not saying the new GTO is ugly, it's just uninspired. In the mix of Pontiac vehicles, I didn't even spot it the first time through. Do you look at this new...

    See...Detroit is so crowded, that I'd think everything would have a crowd by default. The last two times I was there, I couldn't get near anything. Plus, Detriot draws a more inspired crowd, so people know it's a GTO. The fact that this car was rebadged is what has me questioning GM. Did...

    Agreed...that 2-toned silver GT is amazing; I hope the Mustang comes in that color. I just got back from an auto show, and everyone was crowded around the Ford GT and Mustang concept (they didn't have a production :nonono:). The GTO was all alone--no one was near that thing. I felt bad so I...

    2005 Mustang Seat Comfort

    I know the new Mustang seats have been mentioned briefly before, but I think it's worth discussing in more detail--haven't we had enough 20k V8? :D Current situation: I'm over 6 feet tall, 175lbs (pretty normal), and after 5 years, I still look forward to driving my 99' GT everyday...

    sub $20k V8 rumor strikes again

    Why settle for an LX type Mustang when you can get a GT under $20,000? Simple. Wait a year, buy it used. We've waited years for this all-new Mustang; waiting another year is not going to kill you. You can see all the criticism from everyone to see if it's a good car or if it has bugs over...

    Is there a Ford Credit Card?

    So I got a promo for the GM credit card, and I think it's a great idea. If you're not familiar with the rewards program, you get 5% cash back on everything into an account towards the purchase of a new GM vehicle (there are some limits). Problem is...I can't think of any GM vehicles I'm...

    Yearly styling changes on 2005+ Mustang

    Ford without Mustang would be a sad day. Sadbuttrue, you bring up a good point about the 60's Mustangs. I was actually looking through a timeline and noticed how the early models differed from each other, and that was what triggered all these thoughts. Why could Ford create more...

    Yearly styling changes on 2005+ Mustang

    We've all seen the new Mustang design and have made our judgements. This thread questions how the factory styling will change from year to year, how different special editions/Cobras will look, and even questions the successor to the 2005 Mustang. If you look at the last 6 years of Mustang...

    Some NAIAS pics from the other night

    Alright, I'm trying to figure out if this was a dream or reality. Somewhere the new Mustang was being shown, and it had the dual hoodscoops like the concept did. It made the car look so much better. I think it was the silver model shown at Detroit with the white stripes, but it had hood...

    Cold weather causing problems?

    Here's an update for those that care. Yes, the grinding fan noise was caused by the extreme coldness. With no ice/snow on the car, warmer temperatures, and sun, the fan made absolutely no annoying noise today. :D As for the battery, it's getting checked tomorrow. The last thing I need is...

    Cold weather causing problems?

    Alright, I think I'll get a new battery. I guess it's better to be safe than sorry. I'm glad someone else is up with me through the night. :D

    Cold weather causing problems?

    I have a 99' GT, and I haven't had any problems with it. Well, last night the temperatures got down to about -2 degrees F with high winds, and being covered in snow/ice, the car was frozen solid. So, today I started the car (it was about 10 degrees), and it BARELY started. The battery has...

    The $20K V8 thread

    SVT: By missing the point, I meant instead of you replying with a "Hmmmm...I can see how that sentence would be misleading," you reply with "I found that on MSN not NAIAS website." You stated earlier that thinking the GT would be $20k was as wild as people who believed the production car would...

    The $20K V8 thread

    SVT: There you go again. You're completely missing the point. It doesn't matter if it's on NAIAS, or on the official website by msn...it's information presented to the public that is causing the questioning in this thread. Please stop picking apart everone's posts and trying to make them...
