Again, if I had only enough money to buy the car itself...mustang. There are incurred costs with owning a car liek the M. Regardless of how you look at it it will cost you more money in the long run (more expensive parts/insurance/etc.) If money after purchasing the car is not an issue, then hands down i'd go with the M. But as far as just having enough to buy a car, mustang. I never said which was better period...I said which would probably be a wiser purchase for the average joe. like me.
