Lowersill,

Any new car is a loss! But a new car you "love" and are happy with is worth the money. You only live once and if you worry about the financial part you'll be driving a 76 pinto. I've owned more hot rods etc than I can remember, but never came out on top financially for owning any of them. If you like and want the Mach 1 go for it. Is it worth the money for what you get? hardly ever, that is why they make aftermarket parts! Price range may be low to mid 30's depending on extras. Personaaly I'm getting the 03 Cobra in July. Keep it for a year or so and sell it and move on to the next hot rod. When you finally realize that cars are a financial losing proposition you can sleep better at night.

Good luck and Haul Azz!
