The GT seats always look hideous. Besides that, looks good.

Prepare to get butt-raped on trade-in and rolling your negative equity into the price of that GT.

Its a clean car and a decent price. However with the car market the way it is right now I think you could do a little better unless you really want a vert. I personally dont like them due to weight.

if thats what you want grab it or wait for another. The convertible is always nice in the warm weather. Id spare the extra weight anyday.

I dunno. Owing money on the car already, trading in with this economy, that's an expensive GT. I'm not sure the difference is worth it. Did you buy a V6 w/ 80k miles on it for $5k?

if you like the vert go for it. I dont like verts much since I had mine. It was cool before I had a bike but then it was like, if I want wind I'll take the bike out.

if it were me i would probably do it. not a fan of convertible thats what kept me from getting a cobra and the fact that it was yellow but yea thats a nice looking car there.

you will love dsg i love mine it doesnt show much dirt at all. thats a pretty good price too. they may go even lower who knows.

Why not go for a Mach 1 or Cobra?? The price of 99/01 Cobras and Mach 1's is not that far off from there.

grrr..

my girlfriend is being completely unsupportive

I got approved for the loan for $10,000

he will pay $4,000 for my car

the payments are $260 a month with a 9% interest rate

my previous car was $209 with a 13% interest rate

I don't see the big problem!!!

dont let a girlfriend determine what you should do with or to your car. it never ends well. i dont know how your relationship is with your g/f but if things end with her, you will always know that it was because of her that you arent driving the car you want.


im lucky, my girl wants to get rid of her grand cherokee and back into a mustang.

i think that 4000 is a fairly good trade in, but you would probably do a little better on private party IF you can unload it.

$4k aint bad for that. Just paying on a car you dont own anymore sucks.
