Wife wants a red convertible V6 - What year should we buy?

My wife wants a RED, convertible V6 automatic.


What is the best year... 2011, 2012 or 13?


and why?


I just looked at a 2011... the hood looked like swiss cheese on the front. I couldn't believe my eyes.

I'd say a '13 because it'll most likely be in warranty and WILL have standard HID headlights.

13/14. opt for the GT. the sound with the top down is INTOXICATING. cops should be pulling me over for being drunk on the sound of the Coyote 5.0 w/ the top down.

This is simple....let the wife pick it out (which one to buy). Win, win for you, as you get to pick out the next one.

I wonder if the OP drives a mustang. If his wife gets a mustang and he drives it just once then he will be craving the 5.0. Happened to a couple by me recently. Wife bought a Got to have it green convertable and he couldn't take it for long. Ended up with a slightly used 2012 Roush Stage 3.

As far as what year to get, it is what you can afford. I personally like the 13/14 years and with the 2015 around the corner you can probably get great deals on the brand new 2014 models. I paid $17,995 for mine new but it is a manual base hardtop.

Agree with getting her the GT auto. Unless she is going to put lots of miles on it such as a long every day commute, the GT is just the way to go.

The reason she doesn't have a backup camera is that I DON"T like spoilers. Guess that's what makes a horse race.

Best thing is do, like mentioned, let her pick it out. That way your in the clear if she second guesses. I gave the Wifey the '13 Mustang brochure, and this is what she picked. Looks a lot like Tom's. She absolutely loves the car. Good luck.

newer is always nice! 13/14 body styling and stock components give you the best value imo
