Would you buy a cheap new mustang over a camaro? - Page 3

lordfriday2 · 12-05-2008, 04:12 PM

I would go camaro all the way, I never liked the style of the new mustangs.

Only if GM crashed and burned and I was left with no other alternative. Then I'd buy Fords.

Thanks for posting that.

Original question: No comment - OK, that's freakin CHEAP! And 40 of them?

Once in a lifetime deal. Don't do it though...

The only down side is they are 2008's. The moment they roll over the curb, they are year old used cars. But still...

I thought about it, but no I will not buy it. I really want the camaro just so much more!!

How about a used GTO?

*Camaro_Corvette* · 12-05-2008, 04:29 PM

For me it would be a used 2002 black SS camaro or a G8.

I'd buy dodges. Or maybe the new lancer - it has a dodge engine, after all.

The other two on my list would be a third gen IROC-Z or a 1998-2002 Trans Am.

correct me if i'm wrong - but the mustang gt only has 300hp? right? and the camaro v6 has 300hp? So $19K for mustang GT, and about $23K for Camaro w/ V6...you can't compare GT to SS...obviously the styling of the GT will be higher quality and maybe more upgrades, but personally I think a V6 Camaro competes with the Mustang GT.

So, would I pay $4K more for a Camaro? Def! And even if it were $11K more, I'd still pay. New Mustang interior looks good, but the outside styling looks like a family sedan (obv. with only 2 doors) IMO. I've test driven one mustang and hated it. It didn't handle well, it didn't take turns well, and while there was some decent power, it just doesn't compare to the feel of a camaro....

so, to answer your question, if money were an issue and I only had $19K, I'd rather just buy a Yamaha YZF R1. lol

zebra · 12-05-2008, 08:30 PM

i'd buy a challenger before a mustank. if something happens & $20k is all i can afford, i'll buy a used vette & crush your gt

Mr Twisty · 12-05-2008, 09:03 PM

The price on the tag is the price you pay.

2009 Chevrolet Corvette Coupe 1LT
$49415 Base MSRP
$44937 Red Tag MSRP
-$1000 Lease To Purchase Cash
$43937 Your Price After Applicable Offers

Prolly find one cheaper, that's an 09

Now you know what I would do
