looking for new vehicle

[splwj47 10+ year member]

iv been lookin for a new vehicle to buy. i have been checking out this 2007 ford mustang shelby gt, it has 85000 km (53000 miles) and is $16000. i have also been looking at jeep grand cherokee's, i would love a V8 sports car but i do have a few uses for a 4x4 suv, like towing mine and my buddies sleds and a fishing boat plus 4x4 is always a good thing where i live. im torn as what to get as i might sell my snowmobile and 70% of my friends have trucks that can pull the stuff instead of myself. what would you guys get also is there any other v8 cars you would suggest?

here is a pic of the stang.

mustangs are so overrated. go nissian xterra

i say the new jeep based of of the dodge darango. which is what i believe u are taking about. that suv is beast and it has great road manners can tow a good bit, available with 5.7 hemi, and the jeep true to its history still can handle medium off-roading the dodge traded this for luxury

ya it would be a 05-08 cherokee with the 5.7

Yea I'm hoping to get a 2000 or newer in the spring.

If you live in the prairies (guessing from your Jets avatar), I'd get the SUV. A sports car is just a waste 9 months of the year there.

Subaru WRX/STi? blend of both of what you want?

Pros:

AWD

pretty quick - 0-60 in 4.5 for STi, 5.1 for WRX

Can tow cars + snowmobiles; not sure about boats

Cons:

Not V8 - but the current STi is faster to 60 by 0.2 seconds than that mustang

Hold value - will cost a bit more than that mustang. Also a pro

Not as much ground clearance as 4x4 - not been a problem for me for 2.3 Michigan winters

Just an idea. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

hey easy on the "c" word bru, lol. and we only get about 4 or 5 months of snow here, and havent got an inch of snow this year yet its pretty odd actually. my original plan was to get a jeep but then i seen that stang and starting debating. but i think im going to get the jeep. is there any other v8 suvs out there that compare to the cherokee. what i mean by that is look like a mans vehicle and not something you buy for your wife?
