Wait til spring for new 5.0 or this...

beviking · Nov 21, 2011

Local dealer happens to have this on the lot

2007 Ford Mustang 2 Door Coupe - Used Vehicle Details at Romano Ford - Your Fayetteville, New York Ford dealer

Planning on getting a new 5.0 in the spring but man is this tempting!!!
Someone give me pros/cons, hopefully more cons so my wife will talk to me through the holiday season

Thanks!

wait........I could of sworn I saw a post by you saying you bought a new 5.0?????

beviking · Nov 21, 2011

Not unless you can get into my dreams Gotta take care of another car payment first.

puma1552 · Nov 21, 2011

I'd pass, $34k for a car going on five years old? That's the coin for a well optioned brand new 5.0 which has a LOT of power potential.

IMO the '07-'09 GT500 is dated by the 2010+ model. They just don't look as hot as they did before IMO.

Hold out for a new and Virginal GT. Never been banged hard.
The GT 500 may have been run at the track every weekend and
not used for a DD.

I would wait personally,
the price is a bit high on it as well. I grew up in Syracuse /Liverpool area.
Thanks

I would wait.....especially if you want a nice holidays....lol

beviking · Nov 22, 2011

Thanks for the reassurance! Didn't even consider the used only at the track scenario streethorse.

Aaaw YELLOW42RCODE, you left all this cloud/rain/snow? Sorry to hear that!

Ok, back to deciding which options to have the dealer is pay for/install and which I'm going to.

Jas5 · Nov 22, 2011

The like-new miles makes it a very tough decision... both have their own qualities.

The GT500 is 5 years older, but has a supercharger with nearly 100 more hp. The 5.0 is brand new, updated styling. If it were a 2009 GT500 it'd make the decision a little easier but thats really just in the head, like said, it can be 1800 miles of race track.

I'd test drive both... a new 5.0 in white would make me drooool

I miss the changing of the seasons but not shoveling that heavy wet snow though.
Get the 5.0.

I just bought a 2012 GT in Sept. It still only has 200 miles on it. I'm looking at every way possible I can trade it in this spring for a 2013 BOSS Laguna SECA. I love the schoolbus yellow.

StreetsideStig · Nov 22, 2011

I would wait for the new one. 34k seems pretty steep for an '07.

XStanger · Nov 22, 2011

34k is a little high, but it is only the asking price. The black/red combo was pretty rare for 07 and the miles are very low. The tires look new, and the inside of the wheels looks spotless. I doubt that it was a weekend warrior, but rather a nice day cruiser.

If you got them down to 30-31k, I would consider it. VMP pulley/tune/cai combo will put you in the 530-550rwhp range.

The price of the 11-13's has really kept the value of the 07-09 cars relatively high.

stangman11 · Nov 23, 2011

I would go with the brand new 5.0. Instead of paying 34k for a 5 year old car that may or may not have been beat. Your getting a brand new car for the same price with a factory warranty, plus with a couple of go fast goodies you can be up around the same amount of power that the GT500 has anyway.

MightyMike16 · Nov 23, 2011

I was in the same exact boat as you. Just purchased a new 5.0

like this?

*drools*

Ateup · Nov 23, 2011

Check the driver's seat for getting in and out wear. 1800 miles of sunny day driving isn't that many in/outs. 1800 miles of quarter miles is...well...1800 divided by 4...whatever that is..

Yeah, drool! Def gonna wait but now this! Damn you Ford!!! Won't be a boss but the '13 GT's look incredible! I do have a mental hangup with them all resembling shelbys though.

That's a nice color, I was going to try and get a boss just didn't want to spend the extra $$ on them. So i bought one sooner, and went with the lava

Real steep, but if I could get it for around $30K that couch may be looking good

warranty's always a nice cushion

13's look real good, so unless your set in stone, that mean's you maybe able to snag a good deal on a 2012

Wait til spring for new 5.0 or this...
