So if the Mustang is for better gas mileage, how does paying the extra for gas with your truck compare to insurance policies doubled, maintenance bills doubled and you still gotta put gas in the Mustang?

More power to you dude, creative financing works, but don't kid yourself, the "saving gas money over the truck" argument might fly with the old lady, but we all know you want that 5.0L tire smoker in the driveway. lol

Good point on the insurance, especially on a new stang. When I think I want a new stang I think about the insurance cost on top of the monthly car payment then fuel, and what not that goes with it, then I change my mind lol.

LOL, don't we all. Funny, no need to convince my hubby of anything when I told him I wanted a Mustang. :D

Owner's manual recommends 87 octane for the 5.0. Actually, it would be interesting to know why.

Insurance wasn't a problem for me. The cost is the same as my '02 Concorde. The insurance rep said that many new cars are costing less now because of the improved safety features. Their biggest cost isn't car repair, it's the medical claims from injury. Always best to call your insurance and get a quote before making any assumptions.

Crap you are right lol. I do want the 5.0L sitting in my garage, but you do make a great point at same time.

Don't know, I always have my mind moving back and forth looking at things.

My biggest thing i guess is i wanted a stang, but i was convinced by my wife to get a truck because of my work and such....now i sit here and still want it and have a truck now and they come out with soome great new features on the 2013's :banghead:

great call AP and to funny

Excellent point! :tup

Excellent advice! :tup

^^^^I will have to try that some time. lol

My 6 yr old rides in the back seat in a booster, the 3 yr olds car seat is too big.

and the 6 yr old has no problems with enough room not to complain?
