Default What would you buy for around 20k?

Please place these in the order of which you would purchase them. All these cars are about the same price though some are used and one is new.

03-04 SVT Cobra
2006-07 Dodge Magnum SRT-8
2005-07 Mustang GT
New 2010 V6 Mustang

Each car has its pros and cons, ill go over a few

Cobra is insanely fast and can be even faster with cheap upgrades, dated interior and exterior, cool features such as 6 speed, and IRS.

Magnum SRT8 is close to as fast, seats 4 people VERY comfortably with groceries and will still walk on most things, lots of features including navigation, climate control, and much more.

Mustang GT has very nice body style with matching performance and a good aftermarket, nice interior as well.

V6 Mustang has little to offer other then it being new. Very slow, dated drive train, better insurance. Warranty will be voided with most performance add ons.

What would you guys buy? Please list in order from favorite to least favorite.

Yeah I can see why you would put the Cobra on top. But I was just curious why you would put the GT over the SRT8. The Magnum is quite a bit faster and has a lot of nice features including the 4 piston brakes.

4. V6 ( although I ain't too fond of the 2010 look. It makes the car look too much like acuras, and toyota camrys if you ask me.)

I think at some point you must realize not all Ford dealerships are that way. And i'm sure there are many other dealerships that would treat you that way not just Ford. It really comes down the people I think.

and i totally agree

the spirit ford up in Dundee mi and Lebanon ford in Lebanon Ohio both did me good.



however the dealer i bought my car from is who broke it and refused to fix what they broke ($1600 part + labor )


then the other ford dealer painted my a panel on my car the WRONG color but since it was " close " that was good enough not to get my money back.


heck i told em before it was even on the car, before it was even near the car, wrong color. now i got one dark red body part and the rest of the car is 05-ultralight red fire


sorry to jack thread I'm done! pm me if u wanna lol
