Mopar and GM won't be seeing me

I went to a dealership today to ask about both cars. (Dodge and GM in the same parking lot!) First off I couldn't order an SRT8 with 18 inch wheels so I didn't even bother to mention I wanted it in green.... but I did and they said it's not possible and that green was for 2007 only.

Next I went to the Camaro and it's starting to grow on me. I asked about leasing and they said all American car companies are done with leasing. Everything is now finance and even people with a 700 credit rating will have to give up $10,000 upfront if they want a Camaro.

I said I have never even seen ten thousand dollars and the guy walked away... literally. I said looks like I'll have to fix my posi and keep driving my Mercury, which I had no intention on trading anyway.

I don't know how these guys will survive.

I'll look into a 2009 Mustang GT later... maybe.

Maybe Audi... the Imports are really starting to appeal to me since they don't look like they were built as cheap as possible and can actually turn without a problem.

Maybe Ford is the way to go, I don't know. I'm open to anything. I just may need a new car soon.
 
Where is there a GM and Mopar dealer together here?

And aren't the new Stangs going to get an updated powerplant to keep up with the rest?
 
Do yourself a favor, buy a like new Mustang Cobra...

FORD credit has always been there for me, even when my credit was crap

Although, I guess technically we all own a piece of GM now...

I don't like the "new" image. It would have to be a 2009 or before. I liked the style of the headlights, tail and everything from 2005-2009. Heck 05-06 would be better since the trunk is smooth and doesn't have the radio thing like all the cars after that did.

I like the Challenger more than the other 2, but the pricing is stupid and what it takes to get one is just nuts.

How bout a CTS-V

Modern Cadillacs do not turn me on at all dispite their performance ratings.

50's, 60's, 70's, 80's, and up to 1996 Caddys are to my liking.

Espeically the 50s.

A CTS-V's rival is a M5 and for the style and everything I like the M5 more, but it's like $30,000 more too.

I can't win. I'm too picky!
 
Mustang.


I didn't realise there was other performance cars out there? As far as i'm concerned there is only one American car company now, and they only make one performance car. And thats all that I need.
 
CTS-V is ugly.. and weird shaped. since the STS-V is a tad bit larger i think its a better lookin vehicle
IMHO
I dont know how their performance differs, but if i had the choice i would take the STS
 
you can pick up a nice 2005 or 2006 gto with the sweet ls2 400 hp and trq easily under 20 grand. i had one. lots of room in both the front and back seats. im 6'2" and i had room to spare in the back seat. the interior is very upscale as far as fit and finish and looks too, not surprising since it was made in austrailia. independent rear suspension and more.
 
Put the money you want to spend on a new car into your marauder. New paint, rear end, built motor etc. etc.

Please don't do this. Saddling yourself with an Audi (that's not leased) will really become YOUR PROBLEM when it gets a couple of years old. The cost to repair these little gems is crazy. I've had a few family members go down the Audi route and if you don't dump them early you're in for a world of hurt.

You can pick up a 2006-2008 STS-V pretty cheap right now considering they were $77K new.
 
I would like to run one to see how I would measure up.
Motortrend said it ran the 1/4 mile in 12.4sec..
