Domestic cars are starting to step up their game some. I highly suggest going to that international car show before buying a new car. lets you sit in each car that you're looking at as close to side by side as you're going to get you it lets you really notice how the fit and finish compares between manufacturers
If you're going used, make a list of what you want the car to have, find the cars that have those features, then make a list of the things you totally hate about each one of those cars. You don't want to buy a car because it has some things that you love, you want to buy the car that has the least amount of things that you hate.
I can't afford a new car. I can afford a used car. Even though the 2010 mustangs are pretty cheap for a new one, but I don't want a V6. Doesn't mean I won't get one though. I don't want a basic package one either. After sitting in a GT Premium everything less is not exceptional. Money plays a huge roll. I'm hoping by income tax I can use some money towards a car. Most likely not since we want to purchase a home, But I AM HOPING to get another car too. I've looked that the GT premium, GT Deluxe and the Cobra. Cobra is way out of reach. One called the Boss 500 or it was 500s are very nice. I saw one on auto trader that was affordable.
