this is all complicated by the fact that they're offering employee pricing and i think our cars are going to take a BIG hit in resale value as we get closer to the 2010 model.

i know that dealer inventory and rebates are hurting trade in values this time of year but i don't know how much better it would be in a couple months when we aren't far away from a updated mustang with a 5.0 liter engine.

I'm living proof that this isn't the case or doesn't have to be anyway . Been married 10 years and have a 9 1/2 month old boy.....still have toys and actually trying to work a deal on a Pantera right now.....It's a project car in a box so don't get too excited . But the Pantera only seats 2 so I guess the wife will just have to stay at home

she loves mustangs just fine, but as long as she loves my little mustang everything is kosher.


anyway it's all for naught, it looks like i'm keeping the stang and dealing with the lack of a backseat for the forseeable future. poor me.



so, should i get 3.73s or 4.10s???

Man, if I had to diverge from the Fords... I would be hurtin'. The *only* car I'd consider is the Challenger... and even then, it'd hurt. I just can't bring myself to get a GM product. I dunno... I was taught it's evil or something.

Still, family is first, and you gotta do what you gotta do, but you might as well enjoy it too.

Yes! Glad to see you are sticking around.

....I'd vote for 3.73's, but that is just me. I have 3.73's in my V6 and 3.55's in my V8 and prefer the 3.55 to be honest, which is what makes me shy away from choosing a 4.10. On my V6, I hardly even use 1st gear....which is why I prefer the 3.55. However.....if it is an automatic, then it's a different story. If it isn't a daily driver, it's another story, etc. .....and of course, personal pref either way, but that is my two cents.

Hey I live about 90 minutes from that car. I know a guy that had way too much money from his oil rich family back in the late 70's that took the police on a 50 mile chase in a white Pantera. I wonder if thats it.

35 minutes left Paul...Reserve not met
