I have been looking at them for about 2yrs now. I have looked at other cars like the mazda3, HHR, focus, used F250-350 manual diesel crew cab (01-03 7.3or 06 6.0) and keep coming back to it. I just want to pay off a tad bit more/remainder of my loan on my currant DD. I can get into a SE 4cyl. manual with sync for around 13-14k if I wait 9 more months. That will be like a $220-250 a month payment (going 5yrs).
The only complaint I have from the test drive of the fusion is the sloppy feeling shifter and there is an aftermarket shifter for the mazda6 that makes it more solid/shorter. That and a K&N drop in will be all I do while I drive it for 150-200k miles and 10yrs.
my 82yr old grandma just bought a new 08 Sable. Other than me not thinking she needs a new car...she is freaking 82 and not going to be driving much. That car is DAMN nice compared to her 01 sable tons more room better build.
Gotta love X-plan, rebates, trade-in, and smallish down payment.

Sometimes I want ot sell and buy a C6 Vette. But I fight off my temptation buy saying to myself I own my Mustang, I'll never get near what I put into it and I don't want car payments!
I didnt know there were other cars besides 5L mustangs
If I buy something newer I will have to start modding all over again because there is no car out that would suite my personal taste and needs in stock form.
I do however have plans for a new project next year, if all goes well in finishing up my current 95 this winter and it aint going to be a mustang.

Amen, that's why mine has been sitting for the last 9 months.
I miss driving it badly, but i guess having the newer one helps. When I had my s10 I liked the truck alot but it drove me crazy after 3 years of not daily driving a mustang.
actually i'm counting the cars prior to my liscense. I started working on cars seriously when I was 10. I had a 67 fairlane.

keep it. I modded mine untill i finally got it where I want.
I agree that I always hear stories from guys saying they wish they diden't sell there car when they were young......
so...dont make that mistake....I wont!
plus, you cant deny that its a fun car to drive. To cure yourself, drive another boring car for a week or so, then you will realize what you would be missing.

That's the problem. I CAN'T DRIVE THE CAR!!!! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!
I'm sure once I get back from from God forsaken Korea, I will get to drive the newly tuned 450+rwhp beast and change my mind. Last time I drove it, it was stock except for the wheels/vortech and full exhaust. Now its got the full suspension, corbeaus/weight reduction, and soon to hopefully be a beast of a motor.

Yeah dude, youre out of your mind if you sell that thing when you havent even been able to drive it since dropping in a bunch of mods. Not only that, but my dad would be pissed if he did all my installing and then I sold the car before I even drove it!
i have a 67 fairlane now ...
I loved mine. 69' 351w with edelbrock carb and intake, and a c4.
