I can't get myself to buy something new. I'd rather have 10 oor 20k miles on it and have a crap load of money saved.

an evo is my next purchase for sure. probably a used(obviously) evo 9 se.


ive never purchased new either. my focus was my "newest", got it 2 years ago, even though its a 2002, it only had 22XXX miles on it. the mustang i got when in 2003 when it had 36XXX miles on it

QFT. I really want an EVO though lol. That's the thing I hate, by the time I can afford one, they'll all have 60-80k miles, and the ones that are low mileage will be friggin 30 grand. :mad:

Dpan. Kill yourself.

I have an abnormal advantage in buying new cars, I work in the industry and have a few family members that are high up in the industry and could get me any car I wanted/options/colors/etc at or below MSRP. It's worth it in my book, there is really a different feeling when you buy a new car, I know I'm hard on my cars but I maintain them....however 90% of other people don't. That little factor is enough to bother me with the second largest purchase most of us will make in our lives.

eventually they won't be the big thing any more and the prices will drop.

Insurance probably won't. Then again, I never got a quote with my current insurance company. (Wright Agency :thumbup: ) They saved me an assload of money on insurance for the stang. My old insurance company wanted to ram it in to my ass hard for it lol

its not hard to get a car under MSRP right now :p

when my dad and i were dealing with the sales person at C&C Ford we had the invoice in front of us with the different price plans. manage to get whatever one the car was at for like $500 above invoice plus another 1k off from Ford. so i got the car under invoice.

with tax, title and tags i got the car for under msrp by about a grand.

I got a great price on the car and i got it exactly how i would have ordered it. of course... it had 46 miles on it and i was a little iffy on that because i know those were 40 hard miles. but the car hasn't missed a beat. except for that one night after i put the catback on

If you have that advantage than yeah do it, but most of us do not.

i got a quote from him about a year or so ago on the srt and it was a hundreds more than i was paying. i may give it another go with just the mustang on the plan. but i expect my insurance to drop sub $200/month with the srt gone... its 260ish now... it was 160ish with just the srt

I pay like $150ish with my GTO($500 deductibles), Talon(liability only), and bike(liability only).

hmm... i wonder if a 05-09 hurst shifter would fit on my 2010...

same trans... i assume the boot is in the same spot

i yearn for you... http://www.brenspeed.com/3915201.html

I'm sure Dan or I can look into that for you. Don't know what the difference might be except what you said. Forget what the interiors look like.

TJs98GT 01-22-2010 12:29 PM

the really like the hurst. thats why my buddy put in his 06 when we did his 5 speed conversion. that shifter looks and feels nice

I think that is why it won't work. I think they tweaked things on 2010.

same thing, just not billet...

http://www.brenspeed.com/3910201.html

i would assume it'd fit. the entire drivetrain is the same. it wouldn't make sense for ford to alter the shifter

americanmuscle.com doesn't carry hurst... its gotta be a hurst short throw shifter haha... classicness
