I traded in my 2005 Mustang GT yesterday for a 2006 Sports Edition V6 4x4. I have been wanting to do this for a couple of weeks now and the local dealer just got a new shipment this week...and there was the exact one I was looking for! Hope you guys like it...
My Mustang was black and I will NEVER own another black car. I spend more time keeping it clean than actually driving it. I agree though, they look great for the few seconds they are clean.
I also went from a black mustang to a 4runner. I bought mine about 4 weeks ago and I have no regrets at all. I still have my mustang, I am debating on if I want to keep it or sell it yet. But regardless, the 4Runner is a much much better daily driver.
As a former Mustang GT owner ('88, '93 and '95 models), I can tell you that the 4Runner is definitely a different type of vehicle. However, you are going to be happy that you made the switch - especially during poor weather or when you have to transport any amount of extra stuff or more than one passenger!
Your new 4Runner looks great, and I agree that the bright white color adds a touch of "luxury" to your vehicle. It does have that Lexus-like shimmer to it!
White was one of the colors I had considered for my 4Runner, but I chose to go with with silver instead. My girlfriend has a silver 2002 Highlander and I also own a silver 2002 Sentra. It is one of the easier colors to keep clean, that's for sure.
Since I don't have a garage and we get lots of pollen and dust around here, I figured that the silver would look great when clean and still show dirt less than black, white or red when I don't have time to wash it.
I don't have a garage at my house, so I have to wash it at least once and sometimes twice a week to keep it looking good. I just cannot stand to drive a dirty car!!
:bash:
