I'm thinking of buying a brand new 2006 Mustang. Although I may buy one that is one or two years old. I haven't exactly decided. The used ones will be much cheaper as most cars lose most of their value that first year. But then again, you never know how the previous owner treated it. Who knows if they got regular oil changes etc.
And I admit the last vehicle I bought (my current 1995 dodge) I did not haggle over the price. Big mistake. I feel I can do that now. As I was able to do it over my house. Although I still shouldn't have gave them a price as high as I did. But I was worried about someone else snatching my house that I really wanted. There is no worry here, as there are plenty of cars and dealerships to choose from in my city. I feel I can do better at haggling this time around.
What kind of options should I get? I'm probably going to pre-finance through my bank, that is usually the best way to go I hear. Yeah I know, I could wait till my house is paid off later this year, and then save up the cash and pay cash for my car. But that could take another year and a half. I don't want to wait that long. It's not often I have the need to splurge. But now is the time. I did it 11 years ago, and I'm ready to do it again. Yeah I know this is not an investment. This money will be going down the drain. But who cares. I'm tired of saving all this money and not ever using it.
Now why is it on the official Ford website, I can't find the price of the damn car. I guess I'll have to go to the dealership websites. As I'm sure the price varies region to region.

to go to various dealers and get them bidding against each other. Last time out, I was looking at the Mustang, the Miata, the Mitsubishi Probe Spyder, the Toyota Spyder, and some other cars.
I ended up with the Miata because I needed a very short car to get into a certain parking spot...but I'm very happy with it. 
There is something rotten here - either you are paid way high or that car is pretty cheap where you live. Here that piece of metal costs in the vicinity of $ 100k.
