    If you are living at home and working, you should have no problem. I would do it if I were you.

    If you are asking for an opinion about selling the older ones to get the new one, that is something only you can answer. If you are attached to the ones you have and can't part with them, then don't. The grass isn't always greener, you know.

    You can go to Ford's website and build an 05 from there. Then use the payment calculator to get a rough estimate of what it would be (you'll have to provide payoff info and current finance rates in your area). Then, call insurance man and ask him how much money you'll have left at the end of the month to buy those Raman noodles. :D

    But I would buy it. I would sell my first born to have this car...well, maybe not my first born. Second, probably. :nice:

    get one but wait until they can be had in the low 20's Sell both cars and get a 2000 dollar beater. and save the rest of the $ and then wait. With the beater you wont put on winter miles and get the benefit of multiple car insurance.

    I'd wait till the price came down a bit myself if I wanted one. I sold my 97 V6 to get my GT and I still kinda regret it since it was paid off.

    Do you have to pay for your insurance as well ? I know there are a lot of people saying go for it but realistically, figure out your monthly and how much your insurance is gonna cost. Its hard to imagine that an 18yr old could afford both.

    Why did you do that? My V6 still runs excellant and it keeps my miles low on my new baby. V6ers make excellant daily drivers.
