going to the dark side...
Some of you are going to hate me for this...some are going to be indifferent...some may even say congrats...others will say "who is this guy?"
Since August, i have put 60xx miles on the car in my signature. I started working at a Volvo dealership at the beginning of the year and i LOVE IT! I am a car enthusiast, so naturally, i enjoy selling them, especially the used cars. There is a catch though, being an enthusiast surrounded by all these cars for sale. There's a...wait for it... MUSTANG of all things on the lot that really caught my eye and long story short, i am trading my camaro in for it tomorrow. I made a mistake getting a silver car and thinking black rally stripes would "fix" my least favorite car color. My torque and HP addiction didn't help either... here she is: what do you guys think? it's a 2011 edit: it's a "base" model GT, without leather seats, etc. that's also not the price i am getting it for. employee pricing (dealer cost)

Nice Mustang. I am not a ford or Dodge hater. I came close to buying a Mustang.

If I read correctly, you had a V6 Camaro, so a V8 Mustang should be nice! Congrats. Looks cool.

Does it have anything on it other than the aftermarket wheels? At the end of the 2012 model year, base GTs were going for 26K brand new....this is about a 3 year old car, now, assuming it is a 2011. So unless it had some options, that price may be just a little on the high side.
For simple, raw, power:dollar ratio, you can't beat a base GT. You just did.
