Thanks for letting me join your great forum. I'm 50 years old with a 15 year old daughter that wants a Mustang for her first car. I've had many cars, trucks and SUV's over my lifetime and I have learned to research "before" you buy!!!, that said, as a protective Daddy, I want a safe, dependable car for her and after reading many,many, (wife says too damn many) reviews, I conclude the v6 Mustang is that car. We considered Honda, Toyota, VW (I have a GTI) and Mazda, why not Chevy - you have to ask - LOL!
We had thought about a used car and maybe a good deal on a CPO Beemer 328, or Audi - but have ya'll checked on the upkeep of German cars, yes sir, they will burn you a new one if you don't have a good local mechanic and even then, parts - OMG! Just let me find that third job and I'll be fine.
The plan is to get the car ordered just like she (and I) want, right before the cut-off, assuming we can't locate one in inventory. I'm figuring that the dealers will love to deal on a 2010 v6 when the new 2011 v6 starts making noise. I base that on owning a 1987 baby Blazer with the 2.8 and then the 4.3 came out and you couldn't give that POS away! I know, rough analogy, but ya'll know how the buying public wants bigger, faster, more HP. Me? I think 210 HP is PLENTY for my daughter. I'm trying to spend time letting her drive, but my heart ain't as strong as it use to be, I did do a lot of praying though! So what do ya'll think?
