My 1st post here but I spent 8 hours this weekend glued to this site, reading and enjoying the threads. I have owned over 40 cars but not one a Mustang. The 5.0 Mustang puts out nice numbers and the new engine has some serious potential but I have decided that a 2010 or 2011 GT500 would be my first Mustang.
I found a dealer who has a new 2010 GT500 on the lot for $45,900 and I can probably get another $1k off that. It doesn't have the SVT package but it has the Electronic package. MSRP is around $52k. I am thinking that is a sweet deal but I am kind set on having the SVT package and the new aluminum block in the 2011, and I could do without the Elec package. But the $45.9k asking price for this one has me thinking twice now.
I found a 2011 GT500, race red, stripes delete with the SVT package for $49,900. $2.5k off MSRP. And I would have bought this yesterday if it had the white stripes. But I am seriously thinking about this as well. So I am asking myself, is the aluminum block and SVT option worth paying $4k more than the 2010 above?
Then there is the race red 2011 GT500 with Elec and SVT packages, white stripes, at $55.7k MSRP. I like this one best but I haven't asked for a discounted price yet but I doubt it will be anywhere near the price of the 2 cars I listed above.
What would you guys do. Thanks for the input.
