Went to order my 11 GT and I backed out!

Oh...and just last week my Elantra blew a hole in the side of the engine. My new car should be here this week. No regrets at all...haha.

It'll look good on your credit score! Well, after it's paid. I think.
Well, if you're worried about it being a good deal, it's actually a pretty solid one. 37k for the whole thing after taxes and title is a great price, better than what I paid for mine, which is almost identical except for the HIDs and paint job, but I paid 40 for mine after taxes, so yeah, I think it's a good deal.
As for the rest, as long as you can afford it, I'm sure he won't regret letting you get a Mustang GT.
Also, on the 500/0% incentive, from what I've heard Ford rarely fails to renew an incentive, and it usually only gets better, not worse. I'm not too concerned about it, besides, as far as I know, you have to take delivery first, so it's whatever incentives are available when the car hits the lot.

My 11 GT on order is $28,300 + TTL. My G35x has all the extra options and my C4 has few. I still prefer to drive the Vette.
I drove an 11 GT today and Ford did an excellent job. Loved chirping the tires in second.

Ahh, but if your spending 37,000 on the wedding its perfectly ok to her.. then no expense is too great..
37k on a party that lasts a few hours.. you will be too tired to enjoy, and you will either be too drunk or forget 90% of it..
or 37k on something that you can use everyday.
been there done that..
and now 12 years later im happily divorced..

Exactly. You've been married and you understand how they think.

The other think that really made me laugh is the fact you are getting married but you are very concerned abaout how long of a commitment a 5 year loan is.

Having a five year loan (without a significant amount of money down up front) usually means you're upside down on the car for quite a long period of time (and I don't do gap insurance), and I always try and never have a loan longer than the standard manufacturers warranty (I don't do extended warranties either). If I can't afford the payments with a 36 month loan on any car I'm considering, I'll either save up more for a down payment or look at getting another car.
Good luck on your car buying decision, and your upcoming nuptials, I hope everything goes well with both. I've been married for 16 years now to my wonderful wife, and as much as I love Mustangs, I'd never let one get between the two of us. I bought my 2nd Mustang when we were dating, and consulted her about the purchase, even though we weren't engaged yet.

Ok, I kid. Part of the reason I'll be ordering mine is because I'm done with the g/f. It just accelerated the time table.
To the OP, I suggest the 7 day rule. If you're thinking of it, think about it for a week. Crunch some numbers, then put them aside for a day or two. See how they look on a clear mind later on. If you're still convinced that you can afford and want it, then go ahead with the order. Besides, your dealer should allow you to get out of the order with 100% of your money back. At least a reputable one will.

Get the car!
After you DO get it and drive it home, pull up on the driveway blasting AC/DC, he will be like "okay, you're right, that's one badass car honey".

edit: ah...hell...more info came through on the thread since I posted... get the car before you have to get an SUV for the kids.

The X-Plan will be less than $200 over invoice. On my 2010 GT w/ WS of over $38,000 the X-plan price was $134 over invoice. Make certain you have the $750 discount from the email brouchure.

Look at your 5 year plan... If you plan on buying a house within the next 5 years, having kids within the next 5 years and/or getting married within the next 5 years (especially if you'll have to pay for it yourself) budget all of those expenses now with and without the Mustang.
If the budget with the Stang is doable, by all means do it now -while you can
Financial squabbles can bring down a relationship, planning things out in advance will help keep you both happy
Best of luck with your decision and your relationship

If you have x-plan you can only expect to save about another $5-600 dollars even if you pay slightly under invoice. X-plan is only a couple hundred over invoice.

The invoice price comes to 33290 for all those options. Why is there a $1500 difference?
And I had a 5 year loan on my 03 and paid it off half a year early, just wasn't sure if I wanted to have such a high payment for 5 years.. doesn't really reflect on my relationship.
