I'm in a bit of a dilemna !!!

I'm debating between a 96 Mystic Cobra and a 05 Mustang v6!?

An 05 GT would be great its just a litle to much right now since i'm just going into college. What do yall think with all the different options would kinda of but them around the same...i know the price wont be the same but just in general.
Thanx for any help!!

instead of "new topic" try the "new poll" button next to it

PS, i'd go for the 05 V6, only b/c its bound to get dents and scratches in college.. dont wanna buy touch ups for mystic lol

added a poll for you.

I am slightly biased, but putting that aside, fun factor, go with the cobra. Faster, gets more looks etc... if you want a great daily driver and is sporty to boot, go for the V6.

I went with the V6 because of the same reason Scott said, good daily driver with some performance.

Again like Scott said, if you are looking for looks from people and good performance, go with the Cobra

I voted Cobra, but I too may be a little 4v biased!

But an '05 V6 5-speed would be a great car as well . . .

If attracting women is one of your goals, i'd go for the '05.

You don't need a car to meet girls, but it is a nice icebreaker

Cobra...especially a mystic. For me it's a no brainer. Now I don't know everything about your situation. Anyways that's my vote.

Keep in mind that the 96 would be a ten year old car where you're not the original owner. You won't know how it's been cared for and treated. Regardless of cosmetics the mechanicals could always be a problem.
The potential for issues is much greater than an 05 which is new and under warranty if anything does decide to happen.

Of course he is.

It's a really good question, just look at how close the vote is.

I would go for the Mystic...... it is a much rarer car, and I think one year down the line, you would be kicking yourself for not getting it.

For a relatively economical daily driver with a warranty the 05 V6 but overall go with the Mystic

This is a hard poll, check out the Cobra real well. Give it a thorough inspection (it's your money, they shouldn't object, If they do then something is being hidden). If it's in a condition that meets your standards then get it. If not then get the 05 without feeling bad.

That's how I would do it, becuase it does seem close. In a perfect world, with it being a mint cobra, then I'd get that no problem.

The Cobra may be a little more of a question mark, but like James said youll be kickin yourself if you pass up a mystic when you have the opportunity to get one.

05 V6s are all over the place, I would get the Cobra.....then again, I am biased as I wanted to get Scothews, but the money/timing thing just wasn't happening [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_mrgreen.gif[/img]
