Bought my first Mustang at 22, anyone else?

Nice ride! Ever think of trying a manual?

There’s a big price jump between that and a Mach 1, even used. Stick is nice, but only if the gearbox is good. MT82 < A10 < Tremec.

@Ford
But isn’t the MT82 a little better for daily driving?

Not really. I’ve daily driven several stick cars, and it’s only fun if the gearbox is good. Rowing gears can be fun, but a long-throw gearbox is a pain. I’d take the auto unless everyone’s raving about the manual’s precision.

Thanks, Dad!

These comments crack me up. I’m 20, about to get a Mustang, and paying for it myself. Some people just can’t believe young folks work and save.

People don’t see privilege. A lot of this forum is just money flexing, rarely about the car itself.

Seriously… I’ve been working since I was 13.

I thought he meant outside on the street :thinking:

Oh man… automatic kickdown takes forever.

Those monthly payments will either break you or make you stronger.

If you invested that in an S&P 500 fund, you’d have way more cash in 15 years. Could buy a GTD by then.
