Okay Gents,
Well it seems I can't stand not having a new GT much more. I am looking to trade in the Acura towards a new one and just going to tough it out during the winter. This is all speculation as it is just a whim to get a new one. I was wondering some opinions, basically what should I go with? Should I wait for the 2013s? Should I shop a 2011 or a 2012? New vs Used? I am thinking of going with the newer bodies due to the 5.0. I would also want the Brembo brake upgrade and the front fascia with fogs, so anyone with knowledge about that, especially the price to install it if the car doesn't come with them would be great. I thank you gents in advance as usual, I just need to feed the inner muscle in me...

Summary:
-Looking to get a new/used GT '11+
-Black/DSG, Manual, Brembo
-GT Foglight Fascia combo a +++

I am leaning right now towards a black one I saw at Buhler for $31k, so I was thinking of contacting Harry, but I am hesistant cause I am unsure of the reality of this happening at this moment.

I am tempted to, just the improvements don't seem to warrant the price increase due to it being a newer model. The incentives for the 2012 are looking nice! Also the 2011's used are under $29k which is not too bad either for a few thousand miles.

Go for it!!! Or even get a 2010 GT500 and then change the grill to an open grill so it looks like a 2013 :P

if you wait for the 2013's to come out the price will drop a little since people will want to offload them to make room for the 2013

That's what I am thinking as well although I know stangs don't sell as well this time of year due to winter coming.

Still if you snag one in March it wouldn't be too bad. Start shopping around, no harm in that. If you find something jump on it, otherwise hold out a little longer

If you find a few small Ford dealers and keep on eye on their inventory.....any extra inventory from this model year (like around March) that they have early next year will be discounted.....seen it in the past.....same way we bought my car, my mom's escape, and my dad's windstar over the years. Or you can wait until the new one's are released and pick up a Mustang of your choice next spring
