So I went from having a 2005 v6 Mustang to getting a brand new 2014 GT. My old one was completely custom and all blacked out and despite it being such a hard color to keep clean I loved it. Not to mention it looks amazing for the first hour after you clean it. Hahaha....

So when I decided to go all out and I order a 14 of course I was going to get black.... I loved my black Mustang, I just wanted all the options and upgrades I had missed in 05. And trust me it was hard. ... DIB was calling my name... had it been Sonic blue like in 05 I might have made the change!

Point is I'm extremely happy with my choice, but yet at the same time tired of people asking me why I bought the same exact car and everyone proceeds to tell me how much money I just wasted.

I know I'm not alone in this, so I'm just interested to hear your stories. ...Anyone else buy a new model that was the same color as a previous Mustang? What drama do you get over the decision?

 

My story is even worse. I had a 13 silver base mustang. Did quite a few mods and it was looking pretty mean. I got the idea that I wanted a V8 so I traded it in for a RT Charger. Almost instantly regretted it. Drove it for about 3 months and traded it in for another 13 mustang. This one is a premium with nav and the pony package. Luckily I didnt lose any money on the trade. Just all the mod money that went into the first one.

So now instead of owing $15 like I did on my previous 13 I now owe $21. Kind if sucks but the premium is miles ahead of the base.

 

Not me, I wasn't going to make that same mistake again....before buying the black 12 I had told myself no more black cars and yet I did it anyway...after obsessing over swirls and scratches for a little over 2 years I ordered a 14 GT...funny thing when the sales guy was pricing it out he entered it as black....I said no way...make it silver!!!! Amazing how even after sitting in the garage for 2 weeks it still looks clean, where the black one would have showed all the dust, etc. I'll admit the black looks best when clean but that lasts all of 5 minutes after cleaning it and the constant work to keep it looking it's best wasn't worth it anymore.

 

Had a Black 2006 GT. After that I said I'd never have a Black Car. Bought a 2013 Jeep Rubicon, Black, of course. After that I said I'd never have another Black Car. Then I bought a 2014 Black Mustang.

I'm never going to buy another black car. Guess what color my next car will probably be?

 

I was the same way.

Black is SUCH a pretty color! And honestly, it didn't show dirt as bad as I thought it would. Stand back 5 feet and it looks clean again (even with dust)! However, I did decide that I'd like a little... less detail obsessive colored car and went with kona blue (plus, they didn't make a '12 Boss {non LS} in black).

Either way though, don't let people telly you it was a bad idea. Black is gorgeous! It does, though, require more effort to avoid scratches... but that's as if any car enthusiast doesn't need another reason to hang around his/her car. lol That'd be like saying you're hott wife needs you to go to the gym with her (a commitment I'm always willing to make). lol

 

My work offers a lease deal for employees. So the vehicle my wife drives is leased. In December our sales department told me they could get me into the same vehicle, 2 years newer and lower my payments. I had them locate the exact same color combinations because it is what we like. Most of our family doesn't even know we have a new vehicle because it looks very similar to the last one. Point is drive what you like... Let everyone else worry about themselves. Congrats on the car!

 

All my dang mustangs have been red lol except for one Competition Orange

 

A 2005 v6 and a 2014 GT is hardly the same car.
