You can just decide to sell your dads car? You think you can afford a new Mustang by selling a G? You think you'll have a few grand after selling the G for a "new car"?

Go to school, man. I heard basic grammar is learned in elementary.

Okay I'm done giving you a hard time.

Alright smart *** The G is my Car.....second of all I said from the AUCTION meaning the car is 3 times cheaper if anything or probly has a rebuild title, or probly hit somewere thats not major, so yes if I can pull a Mustang for 8-11 grand out and sell my G for 15-16 grand then yeah I can have a few grands saved up..

Why you think I should skip the V6? not enough power or bad period?

Well alright not a rice probly but you know I like to look luxury and have a sport car like I said you know? I'm not out on the streets racing I can do that with my G and worst case comes I lost a rice you know?.. Just not into racing and stuff like that I mean I'll throw it down with someone and race em but nothing major just a straight lane freeway thing.. that's it and thats why I like to go luxury and sport

If you swap your G for a Mustang (Unless it's a 2012 Boss 302 which I doubt you'll find at auction) you will hate yourself. I'm just sayin......................

Spend 20 minutes in a Mustang and you'll see what I mean.

Keep the G, I'm sure your dad would really like your appreciation and gratefulness in his gift that he's spent time/money/effort/love into giving you.

Oh and btw, good luck with that...Personally I do not recommend buying a car that's in that state of condition.

I would only sell the G to get a Manual G. Keep it. It already fills your stated needs. Lux and Sport.

If for some reason you get the V6 mustang instead of the V8, make sure you get at least a 2011. The 2010 V6's only made 210hp out of a 4.0 V6.

Edit: BTW... I wouldn't really consider a mustang luxury

I'm finding myself thinking I want to replace my '04 G with an '11 Mustang GT.

Here's why:

130+ more horsepower
130+ more torque
equivalent fuel economy
Mustang is about 100 lbs. heavier than the G coupe - basically irrelevant
Leather interior available in either
dual zone climate control in either
Bluetooth availale in Mustang - not my g
back up camera available in Mustang - not my g
Hard disk drive available for music in the mustang - I'm stuck still fighting with a Nissan ipod adapter that's a p.i.t.a. to find and change songs with the factory head unit. The hassle and expense ($1000->$2000) to change over to a double-din headunit I struggle with
Heated seats available in either
Additional sound deadening in the 2011 and up Mustang
traction/stability control in either
G35 coupe is becoming affordable to the "civic crowd". RICE-driven depreciation is inevitable. On the other hand, Mustangs have been around forever, and one almost never sees a Mustang riced-out. There is that "Redneck Factor" to overcome with the Mustang, to be certain.

Basically the 2011 Gt has all the interior features I have in my '04 coupe, plus equivalent fuel economy, a better entertainment package, and 50% more horsepower and torque. Okay, there's no sunroof available for the Mustang, but that glass roof is interesting.

I wish Infiniti wouldn't have f'd up the styling of the G coupe when the G37 came along. I simply don't like it, so it's tough to see that as my next car. Plus the 330-hp VQ has less appeal when compared to the 412+ hp 5.0 v-8 in the Mustang.

I don't mind the styling of the Mustang - though I think I still prefer the G35 coupe. That's really the only saving grace now for my G - that plus the overall economy and the fact that my car probably still has 100,000 trouble-free miles in its future.

All that said, there's no way I'd swap my G35 coupe for a v-6 Mustang.

Infiniti really needs to get off their *** and re-style the G37 and throw in the vk56 or something similar.

I love the way the Mustangs look from the outside. The interiors are crap though. That alone would prevent me personally from getting one.
