It depends.
What are you planning to use it for?
What happens to the current car?
Better financing on new vs. used.
More info! :p

Hey hey wait a minute. I had a probe gt, not a bad car if you work out the bugs in it. They make great performance parts for that car. They sound bad ass with greddy exhaust. Smoothy I like your taste in cars. Focus sounds good, saw one yesterday for the first time. Lighting would be a good choose, but to many people have them! I'd go with the focus, SILVER

Okay, as of now if everything works out... I am keepin smoothy, and doin a total rip down and rebuild of everything... I mean EVERYTHING. But realistically as a standing point now, I have to get a new(er) car and sell smoothy in a few months, after I do one more mod to her!(  Pete!) but, I want a brand new car, sure, but i dont wanna pay for forever on it, and I always have wanted an CSVT, even tho insurance is most expensive on the CSVT than any other car i even quoted even the Lightning!!!  thanks for the inputs so far! EDIT: oh and my best budy has a 93 GT probe, and it is totally awesome and has had no problem, but that is the only word i can seem to get is that they arent that reliable of a car... oh well, I love the look, and feel, and power!! but who knows... we shall see, but I have to make up my mind by this weekend... actually friday!

Lightnings are kick ass rides no matter what anyone says.. Also up here there is actually a brand new focus, not sure if it was SVT that was done by McNews and being sold by dealership, this is the 2nd pimped focus the dealership is selling, it comes with bodykit, wheels, and I saw performance stickers alongside as I drove past, I may have to go look a little closer next time up, but regardless I say go for the Lightning you def. wont be dissapointed

DAMN dealers!!!!
I was like a hair of a split second away from buyin a 2000 SVT F-150!!!!
gave me a good deal if you ask me... here is the break down, and you guys tell me if you would be froggy and jump:
2000 F-150 Lightning S/C black, atx
37k miles... for :
24,550, and they will give me a check for 4000 for smoothy, with all of my current problems, including the big one!!!
which boils down to...
380 mo, for 66 months, @ 6.9% interest, and the price included, tax and title, registration and all of that good jazz...
so what do you guys think i should do?
