dh04 red gt -> thinking about a trade (5/7/2008 9:19:15 AM)

Well I was out driving this morning when I drove past a car dealership that had an 03 mach one out on display so I went in and looked at it its yelow with black interior with 38000 miles on it. I did not have nothing else to do so i took it for a test drive. I have an 04 gt with exhaust and cai and 3.73 gears. the car felt like it pulled the same maybee a little better. I know the motor is much better than a gt motor. so I asked how much would i get from my car as a trade and the lowest price on the mach. they told me they will give me 14 for mine and sel mach for 17. I paid 13.5 for mine but put money into it for the gears and cai. it already had exhaust. should i do the trade or just have work done to my car. I like my color better its red the mach is yellow.

Any more bolt-ons on your car would be a waste of money, so you must decide:
A. Save up more money for a supercharger
B. Buy the mach, bolt-ons react very well on mach's(especially compared to the gt you have) so you could go that route or save for a supercharger. Bolt-ons on a mach you could get near 350rwhp (on your gt, you could see near 280rwhp if your lucky with full bolt-ons).

If I were you I'd get the mach b/c
1. It's an attention grabber
2. All mustang enthusiasts love it
3. Interior is so much nicer
4. Same mpg and quicker car (runs w/LS1 f-bodies stock which I doubt your car would do).

Choice is yours, but I'd go mach no matter what the color. Yellow isn't a bad color, a friend I know has a yellow C5 Z06 vette and trust me that it isn't as bad as a color as it sounds to be.

Snag that beeeoooootch!!!

especially with what they will give you for the trade....

I dont know I guess I decided not to do it. since i just bought the 04 gt about a month ago and its in mint condition. and I really like the red color of mine. I'll take the 3,000 dollars and put in my gt the 2v is not that bad of a engine. I called steeda and they said I could get my gt up to 320 hp no problem with out braking the bank.

as always ....

4v > 2v

go back and get it.

Pull your mods off and get the Mach 1.Go now!You are only going to be able to do so much to the 2 valve.The Mach 1 has a lot of potential.If you are REALLY happy with what you have,Don't do it.From an investment and return standpoint,The mach 1 wins.Do what makes you happy,I always do.

its more about not pissing off the wife. I can get away with doing mods a little at a time but a diffrent car after I just got this one wont fly

17k would be on the high side for an 03 Mach1. If you want one there are better deals out there. I got mine for 14K: 32000 miles, with an SCT programmer, K&N FIPK, 4.10 gears, and Magnaflow exhaust.

stock cars are worth more so im assuming that the car he is talking about is stock.

i personally would not buy a car that was already modified.

Andy13186 -> RE: thinking about a trade (5/8/2008 3:48:24 PM)

they are offering 14k for your GT? wow ...

i would haev expected like 10500-11000...

do you have any skills with sales people?? im sure you couldve brought the price down a little.

they wanted 6500 for my car when i bought it, but i ended up paying 4800. [;)]

get the mach, negotiate the price, keep your current mods, sell them and you get a better motor and an SE for a very small amount
