What causes a person to purchase a v6 over a v8. How much of a difference in insurance, price etc

 

stupidity? j/k
must be insurance or purchase price, i dunno. maybe gas milage.

 

what cause me to do it was
1. collage student
2.poor
3.can make failr nice quick and cheap
4.more support for the v6 then i thought
5.the v6 community isnt bias like some v8 guys
6. if you honetly look at my car its kinda hard to tell its still a 6

 

I think it is a different demographic altogether. Not all about money. Maybe more about practicallity. Also I see a lot of girls driving V6's. Think it is sorta "User Friendly" Not alot of power but enough for most. Insurance like mentioned above is lower but not cheap, looks, some want the mustang look and do not car about the sound or horsepower or speed.

 

gfong I think the car would pass inspection. On another note I have nothing against a v6 just curious on savings etc

 

My 87 Sundance blew up and I needed a car to get to school. I found my 94 Mustang, mint condition and low Ks on it for only $4600. Insurance wasn't THAT much more than before, but a V8 would have added on another $2000 a year. That's just friggen insane. I'm still in college so I can't really afford the V8's insurance at the moment. I graduate in a month and when I get a good job that'll be a different story.. Once I can afford a GT or even a Cobra and the insurance, I'm getting one. But in the meantime, I'm going to have some fun with the V6.

This and a few other goodies might help that.

 

2000.00 more That's insane. Looks like a T-Bird super coupe motor

 

V6: $4000 a year
V8: $6000 a year
Cobra: $13,000 a year

Those were the lovely quotes I got. Help, help! I'm being raped. :cry2:

 

v8 $5000 a year that's just nutz, when i was 22 i bought my first stang a 88 GT insurance was only $2000 a year with full coverage but that was 8 years ago maybe it's diff now, but i must say atleast you didn't go buy a honda or something else stupid

 

Good God You may as well bend over and grab your ankles! Those rates are just plain old nuts :cry2:
