Default In The Market For A New Stang!

Well I love my 94 GT Coupe but it has well over 200K on it now, and it seems everytime I fix one thing something else goes wrong! So I have been thinking of buying a new one. I'm looking at anything from a 94-2009. Has to be at least a GT (although Cobra would be nice) So what do you guys think. Should I just go with brand new and build it myself? Or find a late mode with mods already done. Thanks for the help guys.

it all depends man, do you love your car cuz its simplicity and still gives decent power and just sounds so awesome?? do you love that body style?? if your lookin for something with like 70k on it, i would reccommend a 99-04 GT... if you want the same body style with a challenge of a motor to get used to vs. the 5.0 get a 96-98 GT but i hope you do know, a 4.6 is a lot more expensive to mod than a 5.0... so depending on ur financial situation, maybe a newer 94-95 with like 115k miles on it or somethin would be best, cuz u can just take all your mods and put them on the new stang??

or do you just wanna start fresh and go all out?? cuz then, ya, a gorgeous new 2010 GT with that MEAN lookin grille set up with a tune would very well suit your needs but thats if u can afford the car payment and insurance... i love the new 2010 body style, but i cant afford one, and im not sure which i like more, my 98 GT with flames on it or an 06' GT white with blue lemans stripes...*shrugs* i dunno ill see when i turn 25 lmao

depends on your budget. If you can afford to go brand new i would deffinitly go that way. Although I will probably never buy a car BRAND new. If you can find a car with just a couple thousand miles on it you can usually get that car significantly cheaper. If your on a tight budget then your gona wana go with a later model car that already has mods on it.

If you're not having fun fixing all the foibles on your current SN95 then I wouldn't go that route and grab another high mileage car... you'd be in the same boat! If that's what you want then keep your current stang and go wild with a rebuild! If not, late model all the way baby!

Early 05-06's are more affordable than they used to be and you'd have fun with a whole new style of Stang.

Just my .02.

If i were to buy another car (which i have been thinking about) i would try to find a 5.0 as close to stock as possible. I dont want anything modded because that takes half the fun out of it. And those 5.0s are so damn cheap to mod! Plus theyre lighter.

Stuff breaking is an excuse to buy better parts

yeah maybe I will just try to do a rebuild. I just dont want to put more money in this car and not get to where I could be if I bought one with less miles. You know? Im in such a tizzy!

Go onto autotrader.com and search for used GTs. They have 05-07 gts that cost as much as a new 2010 v6, sometimes even less.
