    Why not a DD? Would the WS6 be more of a DD?
    Here is the exact one i test drove. i just uploaded a pic since who knows when it will actually sell lol

    I wouldn't want a car that's got expensive, hard to find parts as my only source of transportation. WS6 isn't exactly practical, but it's doable.

    Go look at a '11+ Mustangs. Even the V6 have 305hp, just a couple dimes shy of what that WS6 puts out. They come in 6 speed auto or manual and get amazing gas mileage. My worst average at fill-up has been 26mpg and best at 28mpg. This is with me not babying it and around 3k miles I've put on this it in the past month and a half. I think once you drive one you'll be hooked, your parents will be happy, and you'll have a car still under factory warranty with tons of aftermarket goodies available when it runs out. There is already a supercharger kit and a couple turbo kits on the way.

    The kind in maple grove lol I have a friend who was upset cause he got the 2010 BMW 7 serIes and not the 2011. This was last year btw.

    And the lowest price 11+ mustang I have seen around here is about 19k. The WS6 I drove was a little shy of 11k

    EDIT: I could probably get away with an 04-08

    Anything earlier than a '11 Mustang I wouldn't go for, unless it was a Terminator or Mach1. The '11s were a huge step up in power and quality across the board. For the record, I have less than 19k in my '13 that I bought brand new. You're getting rid of the GP right? Trade it in on a base model, you'd be in the same price range.

    I am selling both my cars to hopefully have to only borrow about 6k from my dad.
    I'd rather not trade in and still have to pay 10k

    There is one I'm looking at, otherwise it's 325ci or 330i fully loaded. Most I'm looking at have after market rims and such
