Default Bought a new car
Well after waiting 2.5 weeks to finally get back my GXP after one dealer tried to f@ck me on warranty and then towing it to another dealer and waiting 2 weeks for the transmission to get shipped I decided to buy a 2011 Mustang GT 5.0L. I factory ordered the car fully loaded sterling metallic grey just a little over $39,500 and change. I had allot of my GXP paid off so they gave me more than enough to cover off the rest of my GMPP loan. $13,500 I received for trade in. Should have the car hopefully by October.

Very nice. You'd better post pics when you get it.

I'm gonna be buying another car soon, too, BUT it will be my daily, the GXP is gonna get a little upgrade.

everything i have read about the new 5.0 has been great , i like what car and driver said about it that the engine deserves a better car then the mustang , i think meaning that the engine is world class, and car and driver still thinks the mustang needs a rear independent suspension , it still pulls extremly high g,s on the track for being a live rear axle set up the new camaro is way to cartoonish looking to me i would take the new mustang over it anyday , so congrats my friend and im am jealous

QFT

The big downside of the Mustang is the small trunk and rear seat (but that's only a problem for those of us who need to carry more than two adults on a regular basis).

Congrats man. I drove both an auto 5.0L and the manual 5.0L. I'll be the first one to say it, that car has some great power and ford really stepped up their game on the interior, fit and finish of the car.

I pulled a double on that. I bought 2 new cars in less then 3 weeks.

2010 Challeger SRT8($8,000 off MSRP) & 2010 Mustang GT($9,250 off MSRP)

They replaced out 2008 GXP & 2006 Mustang.
