Well if you say "no" to one of the salesmen at any of the Lou Fusz dealerships you don't want to know what happens next.

I looked into it.. the Ford dealership wouldn't give me enough on trade in.

I'm kinda glad... I don't' think I'd like owning another Mustang.

The 5.0 Stangs doesn't handle that bad at all, the 2 that I test drove one auto other manual both took curves and corners quite well.

It sounds like for made a pretty sick car. I havnt done much research on the matter tho...

I love my car. I bought it over the new camaro, sti's, g37s, the evo. Non of those cars really wowed me. the 370z is just all around a sick car. between handling, speed, comfort (for a sports car), looks, everything. Its not like sitting in the new camaro where all u have to look at inside the car is the gauge cluster. Most cars now have boring interiors and thats where u spend most of your time. The Z has buttons and gauges and stuff everywhere. To me i wouldnt trade my car in.

After i pay it off, i should be making more money and im gona try and buy an Audi S5. Such a sick carrrrrr. Havnt sat in one yet but you never know whats going to come out in the next year.

What Mustang did you have before?

For those that say the new Mustang can't handle, In the C&D lightening lap the Mustang
obliterated the EVO, Sti, and others around the track. Plus 4.3 0-60 and 12.8 1/4 mile times out of the box. This thing is a beast.

I'm having the same thing. Most dealers are offering like $25k for the Z. With touring + nav, and under 6k, that's just ridiculous.

Seems like CarMax might very well be the place to sell to, then.

shadoquad 02-23-2011 03:29 PM

Tough time to sell, though. Most places won't offer a lot right now, as it's a sports car and it's winter. That will be a justification for a low-ball offer. Believe me.

But then if you want to trade/sell in summer, the price of the car you want to buy inflates, assuming it's also a performance car. Ideally, sell in Summer, buy in November, but that doesn't fit many people's habits.

CarMax is likely to give you a good deal, though, because they can move the cars a lot easier than a new-car dealership can. It's cheaper for them to keep a car in inventory as well.

CarMax is exactly the place that gave us the "sports car cold weather" rap.

Yea, the MOST I've had a dealership offer for trade in is 23.5k.

Base + sport 18k miles.

Not bad I guess but he wasn't really coming down on anything.

I owned an older GT about 10 years ago.

I know the new ones are very nice, but I haven't owned an American car since then... I just don't know what I'd do with it.
