A lot of the safety features in modern vehicles exist because the govt wants them there and manufacturers are forced to do so- which also increases the cost of a new vehicle significantly so. At least you have the option to turn some of them on or off thankfully. I see merits to having those...
I’m hoping that the competition starts bringing back the V8s. Competition is a great thing for the end consumer because you’ll see more options, more power, and maybe even competitive pricing! That being said, I don’t see Ford doing a redesign anytime soon when it has literally zero...
I would expect the S650 to be around for 7-10 years before there is a true redesign. I would expect a minor update or minimal facelift refresh around 2028-2029.
True redesign maybe around 2031-2034 (that would be 7-10 years from 2024). Could be wrong who knows. Just my 2 cents. The whole world...
Depreciation is important to consider particularly in higher ticket purchases such as a new car or home, but there is some nuance. Whatever you do, do not believe that your car or home are your 2 biggest "investments" like the media always says.
Cars and homes do not put money into your bank...
This is a 2024 GT with night pony package, performance package, 401a, active exhaust and racing stripes. The contrast of dark wheels with night pony package (and other black accents) with the grabber blue is awesome IMO.
Hot take: no complaints. Never would’ve thought the Mustang GT would have almost 500HP stock, that was Dodge Viper & exotic car power not that long ago (aging myself here a bit)!!! Also, it’s a relative bargain compared to what else 50-60K will buy you on the market for performance cars.
It’s...
Wow a 96’ GT to a DH is a MASSIVE upgrade lol. You went from 215HP to 500HP. Enjoy!!!
Growing up as a teenager I always dreamed of owing a Mustang GT particularly the Fox bodies and the mid/ late 90’s GTs. Always had a reason on why not to buy one…. 25 years later my first GT was a 2024 and man...
I heavily considered a Dark Horse...had a hard time justifying roughly another 10-15K above a GT with PP and AVE... with only 14 HP more (486 vs 500 HP).... if the Dark Horse had I don't know maybe 50-100 HP above a GT with active exhaust, I would've happily paid the premium. Dark Horse is...
Probably fair to assume that the more tech and features a car has the higher the likelihood of something going wrong!
I appreciate that cars have a ton more features and tech nowadays because it makes life easier (usually) but the more moving parts, the higher the likelihood for failure with...
The unfortunate thing with vehicles is that eventually something goes south lol. Regardless of make/model/year or how much you paid for the darn thing. Part of the reason I got an extended warranty from Ford when I bought it.
