I think that V6 being "girls" car stereotype might apply to previous years of Mustang (well, last 5-7 years anyway). I like the previous "Fox" Mustang looks and history behind it, but it is way too outdated mechanically, which might be fine for young woman, but not a young man. It's a bit of a stereotype, but I think it is true. This year is different. 2005 is well designed, well priced, ahead of the curve (for now). The only reason I didn't get GT was price, insurance and gas. It added up to an amount I don't want to spend. V6 was simply perfect for me as well as many other male buyers this time. I think when Ford looks at the data from this year they will see a large difference in male/female V6/GT. I think it'll be a lot more even this time around with more women getting GT and more young male buyers purchasing V6.

 

Exactly! I'm hoping that it's a guys car that can help get the girls. LOL

On the other hand, I did see a hot blond woman driving a redfire v6 coupe yesterday.

 

Ya know, this kind of thing is not helping us debunk the whole "girl car" thing! Thanks a lot Ford, thanks a lot :bang:

Hehe. Just kiddin'

 

I agree....my 2003 Mach 1 / 5-speed is fun to drive & so are the newer models
I worked for Ford for years & am from Detroit.....I also have a 2007 Honda accord V-6 which I love....but theres something about a V-8 mustang that you cant deny.....looks , power & fun

 

Wow ! Just how in the hell would you expect anyone in their right mind to respond to your question being as the last post that was submitted in the thread in question was well over 12 years ago.. Heck I even forgot that it ever existed for god sake

 

Yes....most girls / women like the way they look...but some also like the power & fun of driving a V-8.....no comparison

 

I agree with the first part. Most women (not all) do not care about the V8, which is why the vast majority dont own a V8.

 

Resurrecting a thread that's been dead for over 12 years.. Obviously no one has given a crap

 

but he didn't ask a question . . . . . . . .

 

I care I care a lot.

 

Fine ! I stand corrected, as he responded to a post that was last submitted over 12 years ago.. My bad

That figures

 

lol When my son came home and saw the Mustang for the first time he rolled his eyes. He's a Chevy guy. I asked him what was wrong. His reply..... Barbie drives a Mustang. lol He didn't have a comeback for my response that she also has a Vette. HA!

 

But they are pink, right? So I guess we could say that pink mustangs and vettes are Barbie cars? LOL

 

I bought my daughter a 2005 Mustang last year with only 42, 000 original miles on it. It's in excellent condition and she has not had any problems with it. I love it and have wanted one ever since we purchased hers. Now I have an opportunity to purchase a 2008 convertible, one owner but it has 94,000 miles and the seller wants $6,200. I don't know much about cars other than this is a very pretty car and the V-6 has enough power for me. Should I buy?

 

Is it pink? LOL . . .

The best way I know to get an objective idea of value is to run it through as many of the on-line value tools as you can find -- edmunds, consumer reports, blue book, truecar . . . and shoot for the low end of the range on all of those as a "good deal."

Generally these cars are pretty reliable if well maintained, 94K is substantial miles but not out of line for a 2008 that has been driven regularly. My 2010 has 95K on it and going strong.
