Are you really going to buy a Ford? My brain tells me yes, but my heart says no, for me at least. Something about it I simply cannot pull the trigger on one. I try, but it doesn't work, like a hot girl who just for some inexplicable reason cannot arouse.

they largely fixed the inside and so my biggest complaint about the old one (that the 35,000 model has the same cheap everything as the $17,000 model) has been addressed. i've wanted a mustang since the SN95 came out.





i could get a cert beige 2006 G35 for 20,476 with about 28,500 miles on the ticker or a cert gray 2005 G35 with just under 30K on the clock for $1,000 less. i like gray a whole lot better than beige, which is soulless. there is also a cert white 2005 with 33,500 for another 500 off, but it has a cigarette burn in the seat and no idea if it smells like smoke inside. and on a cool winter day i'd expect it to smell nicer than on a hot summer day.

cert brings the bumper to bumper warranty (except for the sunroof) to 6 years/100,000 miles. seems like these cars are moving pretty well. these cars were all sold late in the model year.

Of those two I would go with the G35, its just more practical than the Mustang.
If you are looking for other choices maybe a certified Acura TSX or Volvo s60 turbo?

i thought about the tsx but they're basically the same price as a G35 and i'd rather have the G. though the tsx gets much better gas mileage.

not a big volvo guy.
