Lots of suvs dont waste gas.

my dads got a 2003 explorer and it takes awhile before its gotta get gas.

in my opinion mustangs have gone down hill so much from when they used to be "cool" Nowadays mustangs arent even cool. There have barely any power. The new mustang is 20,000 dolllars and the max horsepower is 160 i believe. come on thats just gay. back in the 60's 70's that thing was pumping out 400 horses.

around where i live theres only two kinds of people who own mustangs.

guys who own older models (60's-70's)
teenage girls and old women

the mustang is a girls car. dont buy it.

i suggest getting an suv. i got a 1998 Expedition. i love that car so much.

no, i belive the new 2005 model is 300 horses stock, base model. Check up on that. It's a beautiful retro design, in my opinion, and the interior is badass. I feel taht the only "Girl" cars are audi TT's, Beatles, Honda Element, and most hybrids. The mustang is the shit, i hope i have enough money 2 buy it when i goto college.

The best car to buy would be a CLASSIC mustang.  You can get like a '66 Mustang convertible, fully restored in perfect shape, for about 10 grand.  That's about half what you're gonna spend on the new convertible mustang, and about a third what you would spend on an SUV, and you'd have something hardly anybody else would have, and girls look great in a cool-ass car like that.  


Of course you're not going to listen to me, but I had to try anyways.

Uh....around 100,000 dollars. heh.

question. whats your price range so i could suggest something.
Title: Re:mustang or SUV?
Post by: Suffice on April 11, 2004, 06:57:10 PM
The 2005 V6 mustang packs a 4 liter, 235torque, 202hp enginge. Standard power windows, locks, mirrors, CD player. All this for 20k..? sounds good 2 me

The V8GT model packs a 4.6 300HP...Good shit
Title: Re:mustang or SUV?
Post by: Montana00 on April 11, 2004, 07:03:00 PM
200 horsepower for 20,000???

that doesnt sound good to me at all.

Gt sounds nice. 2003 Cobra has 440hp that really sounds good to me.

only in my fucking dreams my family will get me a car that costs 100 grand lol
Title: Re:mustang or SUV?
Post by: Suffice on April 11, 2004, 07:24:22 PM
yes, but how much is the 440 horsepower cobra? Damn, my dad has 2002 v6 accord, 3.0 liter, 200 HP, but the torque is pretty low. its pretty damn good, considering it's automatic, and it cost over 20,000. Something like 25 or 26k. Now... Name another car at 20K that has same features as the 2005 Mustang, and i'm not talking about used cars.
Title: Re:mustang or SUV?
Post by: Montana00 on April 11, 2004, 07:32:38 PM
cobras base price is 40,000

So if you're 16, and your parents buy you a car, you're a spoiled brat? Maybe you just have parents who don't love you and/or help support you...PeACe
Title: Re:mustang or SUV?
Post by: Montana00 on April 11, 2004, 09:42:33 PM
i think your spoiled if your parents buy you a car at 16.

what did you do to earn it? if you helped pay for it thats a different story. i know a guy whose parents have bought him two cars already and hes still 16. he doesnt even have a job. thats fucked up

Parents should always help buy a car...When they become old, that's when you pay them back, by supporting them like they did for you when you were a child...Plus, when parents buy a car for their kid, of course the child should help out with payments...If the child doesn't have a job and help with the payments, THEN he's spoiled...PeACe

ummm 30 grand isnt even a lot for a car... its mid-class  ::)
Title: Re:mustang or SUV?
Post by: Don Jacob on April 11, 2004, 10:12:43 PM
back to the question at hand


i live in both world's i drive a 96' mustang GT convertable which i'm converting into a a 351 saleen. my mom has a 2004 chevy tahoe


IMO get the mustang......i mean there's a bajillion after market parts and accesories out there for mustangs to customize it...mustang's have the MOST after market parts for ANY car you could get a basic v6 for 4 grand and put that 26 extra grand fixing it up....and customizing it. Pimping out a mustang is EASY . the MACH 460 sound system is easily upgradable. ALL engine and transmission parts are EASY to come by and range from OEM (original Equipt Model to pro drag race)  

if you decide on gettin an SUV....it costs $$$$$$$$ first of all the car itself STOCK is  costly . i mean a GOOD suv like a tahoe , excursion, or Yukon Denali, escalade, or navagator costs 30-100 grand >.......STOCK!   then the first thing you got to get on an SUV is the rims which for a pimp  car cost 5 grand....then you got the system you got to pimp cuz lord knows no SUV has a good sound system with all that room. then when you go to put on your 20-26 inch rims you got to replace the brake rotors  which are hard to find and expensive, as well as the engine parts and tranny.  plus there's only so much you can do with an SUV to customize it becuase the after market is still barely new on them



in my opiniion your best bet if it has to be between an SUV and a mustang is the mustang

that car is ugly

30,000 isnt alot for a car? it depends on how old you are. if your living under your parents roof and you dont think thats alot then you got alot of money.

but if you live on your own and got a real job then  :)

I wouldn't spend all that money on a brand new car...just come to San Diego when they have a US Marshall auction and buy cars that were siezed from drug dealers/convicts ;D

My sister got a 99 Honda Accord 2 Dr LX Coupe cheap $7,900 and it had 68k on it last summer. You won't have to deal with financing and all that bullshit they put on you.

Oh and you don't have to pay taxes on the car it is exempt...you only pay what you bid for it. My sister not only got a good deal she saved $800 in taxes.

Man... 3$ per gallon and this? --> >:(

Come around my hood and then complain about gas prices.

And about which car to get - use your head. Are you in a position where you can buy a car that's just fun or do you want one that's more useful too? Personally, I'd get neither. I'd settle for something smaller than an SUV and more practical than a Mustang. Maybe save some money for a good audio set up while I'm at it. (Shit, I need to get a job or win the lottery or some shit, I want a car of my own...)

for a brand new one about 50 grand or so, but you have to buy them at certain ford dealerships, and it's kinda like the ferrari's they just don't let ANYONE buy em' them sell em to big names first.

older ones usually sell for 20-30 grand
