Taking a poll:

I have a delema so here it is I have a 02 silver Focus zx3 and want a Mustang really bad. I have 2 more yrs to pay it off.

1. I was thinking of rolling my focus into a 05 Sonic blue V6.

2. Hold off 2 more years and pay off the Focus and get either a pre-owned Sonic Blue GT or a 07 GT.

What should I do.

My vote is for waiting, if you get that car paid off you have more options on what to do later.

Depends on if your are upside down in your payments, and what monthly payment you can *reasonably* afford.

See what the dealer will give you on your car, and see what the payoff is if you want one now. However, If you wait until 07, you'll have more money saved to buy one (start saving NOW), and you'll get a better deal then too. Below MSRP and maybe with a rebate.

Just me, but I'd wait. And as we all know, you'll get a little more for your car if you sell it yourself, though that can be a pain.

First, I love the Family Guy. Second, if there is any possiblity that you are going to be upside down with the equity on your trade, wait, but if it is only a few beans and you can afford it, just do it!
Every $1000.00 is about 20 bucks in a payment. GOOD LUCK!

I am waiting to buy a new Mustang myself. I own a 2002 V6 right now and I'd much rather wait another 4 to have it paid off. I traded in my 99 Escort for the Mustang and still had $3000 left that rolled over to the new loan. It's really not worth it.

I say wait.

By then, you'll have many more options. Plus, your taste may change. You may find (in 07) you really liked the 06 Cobra or the MACH1, or 05 GT or 07 V6 - you just never know.
