I found a 2013 GHIG GT for under 30k. Should I trade my V6??

I currently have a 2013 DIB V6 Mustang with recaros, quarter louvers, and 19" charcoal AMRs. I was bored one day and I happened across a 2013 GHIG GT with 15k miles on it for sale for 27k. Should I trade my V6?? I love my stang, but I'm kind of kicking myself for not getting GHIG after I saw one in person the other day.

Thoughts??

First of all, thank you for serving.

Some people love GHIG and some don't. I'm one of the latter group. DIB was my second choice when I ordered my V6 convertible. If I had not been able to get the stone top and interior with my Ruby Red car, I would have gone with DIB. So my opinion should be obvious - keep it.

I think it's a really good deal. I think it comes down to your finances and plans and uses for the car. What you describe is a well sorted 6 that you already have. Are you upside down? Does it not have enough power and are you planning on power adders( turbo, supercharger)to your car? I think if it's just a gt versus a v6 with no other considerations, I'd buy the gt. unfortunately, it's usually more complicated than that.

I owe around 14k on my V6 right now. I went to a dealership the other day and the sales guys were offering me around 19,500 for my V6. I don't necessarily race my car and my V6 is my daily driver. However, what Mustang owner isn't tempted by a 5.0?

Lol. I was between a 10 GT, 2013 v6, and a 12 GT. I drove the 5.0 and it changed my life. I'm a horrible person to ask because I would do it. I think that's a good price.

5.0 > V6. Even a v6 with quarter louvers.

I am so happy with my 5.0. My wallet might hurt a little bit for gas, but the smile from having a GT will never go away.

What do you not like about your 2013 V6 model? Why do you want a V8 model when you have a new 13 model?
