Debating on a new car.

[silversol]

Well Im debating on if i should get a new car or not, Gas mileage is not a issue within reason I only drive about 200 miles a week. Also due to a injury a stick shift is not a option! Part of me wants to just keep my civic till the wheels fall off as there is nothing wrong with it and invest in other things as I do have a weekend car a 67 restored mustang. But the new car bug bites from time to time. My two choices are the new 5.0 mustang or a 2005+ corvette right now Im leaning more toward a corvette as it seem more of a adult vehicle and i already have a mustang and have owned several in the past.

I would keep the Civic. It may not be one of the best cars to keep bad memories of but it's reliable and it's paid off.

Bullet holes add character, well I have fixed all of them besides the ones in the back bumper lol.

yep.

Vette of course since you already have a 67. The new 5.0's are sexy though.

[TheChosenOne]

Vette.

But if your bold...

get a Porsche. :-/

[RL...]

porsche 911 996 model should be in that price range

[silversol]

^^^ No over priced v dubs for me. Plus it has to a automatic

2012 nissan maxima. 4 doors. nice interior and comfortable. Mustang is childish and corvettes are actually pretty cool cars. they just seem so big.

I was looking at gwinnett place over the weekend. going to look at a 03 vette that looks well taken care of and looks to be priced well.

[Nemesis]

LOL @ Mustangs are childish.



Ive driven both and really liked both equally, but the Vette is really really cramped on space and the 03 will be slower than the 5.0. I love any car I can have over 400-500hp easily and have 3 other people ride with me comfortably. Give the 5.0 a romp, before you decide ;) My buddy just got rid of his 2006 Vette for a 4 door Genesis because he hated driving it everyday.

The little things that dont bother most people have me leaning toward the vett I like the hatch design the vett is lower to the ground and that the gas door is closer to the driver door. Im still recovering from a back injury and have to carry a wheel chair with me. Im just now starting to stand up so the fuel door being closer to the driver door helps with that. I fit nicely in the vett being 5'9-5'10. also the vett seats seem a bit softer When you have to sit alot it does make a diffrence!

Im not looking to mod either one of them I dont want to throw money into either one besides maintanece cost. so No I dont want to lower the mustang to lower it to make it easy on me to get in and out of, I like the feel of the inside of the vett it like it made for a guy thats my hight I dont like how the dash reminds me of a 98+ camaro in a way. I think the vett get a little better mileage if im not mistaken. But yes I think the mustang is a bit faster out of the box then the corvette. Im going to also look at insurace cost for both of them later aswell

[Nemesis]

Either purchase will be good man, but it does seem like the Vette will cater to what you need/want more!

[silversol]

Its hard as a die hard mustang fan to make that decision on a vett hahah.

[Drummerboy]

If you don't mind me asking, what happened? You mentioned an accident, then bullet holes, then wheel chair. I'm curious now.

I Took a 45 slug through my back A in and out injury that some how did not hit my spine but still gave me a spinal cord injury at t10 and a punctured right lung, But I did miss getting hit by the other 5 shots.

Yeah lot of cowards out there. Im still looking at cars on line and waiting for the right one. With the cold rainy weather the past few days I have not been really motivated to go out looking at cars.

[silversol]

Now Im Looking for a c5 98-04 corvette. I think the fuel door is what sold me. I think I can get gas with out haveing to step out of the car!

I looked at getting one of these for a while. The only thing that stopped me was needing more room. Plus I drive 700+ miles a day so I stayed with a honda lol.

Vettes are a bitch to get out at times. Not sure how much your back would take of that.

[RL...]

I would def go with a new 5.0 stang over a c5 vette...although I'd pick a c6 over a 5.0. I saw a modded 5.0 drive by me the other day and it looked and sounded AMAZING. If I had 30K to spend on a car I would be going to the nearest ford dealership in the morning.
