Help me decide between two cars

I can't decide which car to choose based on the options I want. So lets get some opinions. I have been searching but the longer I wait, the better the chance that these will sell from under me.

The only options I really want:
IUP
Active Anti-theft
3.55's
spoiler delete

The cars:
1.) 07GT premium- IUP(silver), spoiler delete, sidebags, sirius

-I want the 3.55's because I know I won't run right out for a gear swap, want the active anti-theft because on weekends I am in NYC/Queens, etc.

2.) 07GT premium- IUP(charcoal), AAT, wheels locks, sidebags, 3.55's

-I would have to get the decklid filled and painted for a CDC ducktail

Id probably go with number 2, and then get a Sirius Satellite unit. As far as I'm concerned, satellite radio is the best car audio invention in the last 50 years. I absolutely love mine.

I voted keep searching, if your only rush to buy is having the car right now, may as well wait and get just what you want. Now if you need a car asap, guess you need to debate which will be cheaper/easier in the long run to make how you want it.

I don't need the car as transportation (keeping my truck for winter/utility/camping etc.) The time limit is because I want the 0% financing which is only for 07's on dealers lots, aka whats there now is my only pool to pull from.

If the spoiler is a hangup, have the dealer swap out decklids for a spoiler-delete car. That's what I did on my car.

The main pull at this point is I want the 0% financing, which is only on 2007 dealer stock... otherwise I would probably just continue my search for a classic.

Did you go to fordvehicles.com and search the dealers in your surrounding area?

I would have voted #1 and said to have the dealer install 4.10 gears except for the sirius radio. That big ole mole on the rear deck looks like crap. PLUS, all the sirius/xm radio hardware is going to be obsolete in a couple of years requiring new hardware to handle the new satellite transmission and you'll be stuck with hardware that is useless.. just like an 8-track!

So, now I say, keep searching for what you want, or better yet. Order an 08 on the x-plan and get a good deal and exactly what you want at the same time!

I say use www.fordvehicles.com and search some other dealers inventory in your area. No doubt you can find something closer to what you are wanting.
