So where I bought my 05 Per White fully loaded has a 2006 Black with a pony package and a nice white stripe below doors, every time I see it I like it , so now I'm thinking do I want to trade down from a GT the is so sweet to just as sweet a unit but a little less power ?dunno I'd post a picture but my Boss needed a good camera for the week-end.

 

:scratch: :scratch: Trade DOWN from the GT?!?!?!?! :scratch: :scratch:

 

This is going to be a very interesting debate.. Personally, I would suggest you keep the GT.. However, if you can point out how the trade might benefit you in the long run, then I will be happy to encourage your decision.. However, on its face value off the top the thought seems utterly ridiculous..

But I am a man with an open mind, and look forward to how the trade can benefit you in the long run..

 

Doesnt make a lot of sense to me unless you want to save the fuel?

 

NO!

Btw I would love to Trade My Black Gt for a White Gt. I just can't Keep it Clean! I will most likely be Getting an 07 GT/CS and it will not be Black. They Look Great but Require a Lot more Attention. Get Some Stripes on that GT!

hmmm, not sure I really understand that one. The loss you would take would be pretty crazy. Just swap out the grille, front bumper cover, paint the car and swap out the rims. That will probably be cheaper than what the loss and taxes you would end up paying to trade it in.

 

I duno man if u really like the stripoe pay the 250 bucks or so to get a vynil stripe down the side of ur car....i think ud be making a big mistake especially since the 05 GT is depreciated already...

 

Well Im going to drive one today to get iy outta my head and thanks all for replies to yup almost no way in hades would I wanna loose the GT All that Power, the way it purrs I will most likey keep it but getting the right stripe maybe Kevin sell some . Thanks again ! and a stripe would look good esp on the bottom

 

You should really hang on to that GT for the long term Ed ,Perf. white was probably the lowest produced 05 mustang and being a first year rebody could fetch a good buck in 20 years or so .I don't know if your one for long term ownership but to me that car would be a keeper .
I plan on hanging on to mine for at least that long god willing and when it gets payed off I might get a v6 for a year round driver and take the GT out on sundays only at that point ...but no matter what I'm going to do what I can to keep this car for the long term .
Think of it this way if used GT's go for as much as new ones and in the U.S. most new GT's are 5000 dollars over sticker down there .......theres got to be something to it .

 

Don't do it Ed!!! I understand where you're coming from though... I find myself more attracted to the Pony grille treatment than the one on my current GT but the power loss would drive me crazy! Even the GT feels underpowered to me some days...

 

Topic Closed I'm Not going to do it ! after a drive and then bacg into a 300 GT that did it , I won't do it I will just have to behave to conserve the gas.
Oh most important ! Thank-You for all the support it is and always will be appreciated.

 

You are going to behave to conserve gas?!
That will last a day... maybe!

 

I don't think the mileage numbers on the V6 are much better than for the GT. Not enough to take the hp hit anyway.

 

If you're lusting for a pony-style grille for your GT

No it wasn't just the grill it was the color /stripe/grill just a whim but its gone now and besides it did not have IUP that I've grone found of ?

 

Hmmmm...Do you by chance live in Victoria???

 

yup not far from you too ! Ken was it

 

Victoria... I remember Victoria... sniff.

 

stop that your married ! Dave BTW hows the weather on the other coast I can't imagine you'd be enjoying driving in it ? Cheers Ed

 

Well, the Mustang has been parked for a month now and we're forcasted to get 30+ cms of snow before Friday is done so it doesn't look like it'll see the light of day for another, oh, 5 months! Man, I'll have the lowest mileage 05 Stang on the forum soon!
