Come to DC/NOVA. Every car is an Audi or BMW or Mercedes. And if it's not those it's a prius or eco car.1 & 3 Here. My area gerenic Germans and japs are a dime a dozen, so why not get something more unique
Pretty much on par with what I was looking for. I have always had Hondas up until this point. I had a 2008 Honda Civic Si which I loved, but it had a lot of miles, several maintenance issues, and was starting to feel dated. I had an interest in the Mustang for awhile but only in certain ones I would see randomly here and there. I really liked the production GT when the 5.0 came out in 2011, but I had just bought the civic. Stuck it out in the civic and patiently waited the new styling and IRS. I did a lot of research and looked at a lot of different cars but the test drive sold me. This is my once in a life time opportunity to own a legendary American Muscle car while it still has a large NA V8 and a Manual transmission to boot. I already have 12k miles on my Mustang and I love it. Miss vtec occasionally but once I get an exhaust for this thing that will go away lolWhen purchase a new sport cars I would take in these considerations below while still under payments.
1- All around look that dont get bore when i am still doing paymets.
2- Driving experience
3- Reliable (search internet for common problems)
4- Price
5- After market supporting, price for after market mods.
6- Cars dont required alot of mods to make reliable HP (such as built engine, transmission)
7- Maintaince expenses
8- History of the brand and model
9- Service ( company/dealer dont dodge the bullet when come to warranty)
In the pass Ford didnt have the driving experience but now i think Ford have that driving experience at low cost. Back then Ford went cheap on its customer. Now the only thing I think is Ford needed to step up on their QC and it would make them the best American Auto company. I am glad Ford headed the right directions, and continue that path. I personally think Ford did great by providing us Sport car with American muscle all in one.
What you take in consideration when purchase a new sport cars?
