Why are you comparing a Mustang to a C8?

Because I sold my Shelby and ordered a C8. It wasn't meant as a direct comparison

 

[PhoenixM3]

Ehh.. I make good money.

Aint no way I'm affording a 50k car, without essentially hating my life. Sure I could " afford " it, and not have anything else. Say you're average person in this community... 75k gross is what $1200 a week or so if you claim 0, so $4800 a month

Rent in even average cities for a normal house is $1500 a month ( I pay 1500 for a 3/2, with carport in a city of 90k people ) ... even 2/1s are $1200 out here

throw in utilities, cell, internet thats another $700ish likely so thats $2200 a month. Power $200, Cell $150, Internet $100, water and gas is around $100 combined, your streaming shit.. so maybe $500 ish not 700

Food costs for a normal human. $200 a week if you want to eat decent at home. That pushes you to $3000

Say another what? $1000 for going out to eat, just honestly enjoying life? Thats $4000

You know have $800 left for ... a car payment, fuel, insurance.


So lets take out the $1000 for enjoying life so you're back to the $3000.. your 50k car, plus insurance and fuel.. Payment around what 800? Insurance, $150, fuel lets say 100 a week? That's $1350.

That brings you to $4350.. that leaves you essentially $450 for an " oh shit" .. like your dog gets hurt, or say you want to go on a date, or say literally anything happens....

Relax killer. I'm stating the average price of a new car is closing in on $50K, that's all. I didn't ask for you to puke a sample budget to prove or disprove a $50K Mustang is a great deal.

I didnt mean it that way.

I'm saying a run of the mill car being 50k is insane to me. Sure mustangs are great cars, but ****. 50k being the average price for a base model GT mustang. Craziness in my head.

 

[AustinSN]

Dark horse with the handling package and recaros, $67k. Yikes.


That's a lot more than Nick sold that GT350 to me for.

I agree. I make decent money and drive a econobox "sports" car which cost $34K new. The C8 will likely be the most expensive car I ever buy.

Well… i ordered one. I’m super excited, I went with a
Vapor blue GT, 10R80, active exhaust and black accent pack.
Luckily I have A plan, it came out to 43.4K.
I figure another 10K for the whipple kit to make 800 ish, call it all in for 55k, still less than dark horse MSRP.

In todays world, that is a lot of car for the money.

 

[DSG2003Mach1]

damn, the absolute base GT is basically 41.5 so out the door is like 46k after delivery, tax etc. at msrp. I'll keep my driving my paid off junk for a while longer

That ain't too shabby.

Hopefully by the time it arrives we won't have 6-7% APR still.

Mannnn, didn't even give me a chance. I see how it is.

Need to consider what the current GT does as far as performance and the amenities it has compared to 10-15yrs ago.

The performance and amenities improvements have outpaced the price increase haven’t they? I haven’t shopped these but it just seems that way from my perspective.

I bet you could buy a brand new 25k sedan now that is nicer and performs better than a brand new mustang from 2010 that was 30k.

Are dealers allowed to lot stock Mustangs or are they still order only?

Yes and no.

I could " afford " to go get another 08 500.. for shit half the price. And have just as much fun.

Seats are seats. After two years of 14+ hour days of sitting in the f250. I prefer really any lol

Nothing in my head is telling me to spend 50k on a car, that I will drive maybe 20 miles a day in traffic. As long as I have AC, music. Its all the same to me stop light to stop light

I just got in a 2009 with 20k on it. Punched to a 5.6L, Trinity blower, on pump gas it put down 660rwhp on low boost. When do you want to pick it up? AC blows cold haha

**** that. lol nope nope nope.

I'm focusing on a few things the next 6 months or so, then I will look at a toy. Honestly I'd love a Focus St honestly. Something a little fun, decent gas mileage, that I can throw around a little.

You can live in your car, but can't drive your house. The American dream.
