Is it worth it?


i went to a dealership last night to see an 03 all black mach1(57xxx miles)..he wanted $17033.xx out the door but when it came down to financing he said the total of the car would be 20 or $21000!! that felt like way too much. what do you guys think? i dont have money down and i was financed at 7.9%..i really want it but its just too damn pricey..help any suggestions? answers?

thank you

yah it sux but with all the intrest over the year its gunna jack up the out of pocket price...For the record 17 aint bad for a mach1 and at least you got a way better intrest that some ppl...my car was 13k all together...with the intrest financing its gunna be 19 so your gunna have to expect that unless you put a huge amount down... Btw how many years are you paying on it try to keep it at 5 at the most if you can handle the higher payments I would deffinatly suggest going fewer months.

The new Machs are supposed to be out in the next three years. If i hear it right it will be the Bullitt, the Boss and then the Mach 1 I think.

You are a brave man to own a Mustang with Chicago winters anyway. LOL Yeah I wish I had never bought my original V6 Mustang. If I hadn't I could have bought a earlier model Cobra or a Mach I.

Other than a few cosmetic changes the only real difference is the Bullitt has the intake manifold of a 96-98 Cobra. It gives me about 10 extra HP and more torque than a GT. Due the intake manifold it also responds better to certain mods like a CAI. It makes a big differene if you decide to go FI. It also has improved suspention and better brakes than a GT.
