depends with what you are looking for in a car. They use a lot of gas yes but since you can afford to buy a brand new one that might not matter to you. One good thing is they have a pretty good resale value but then again all sports cars like this have decent resale value. I personally like the look of the new gt500 as well as the 500 horsepower engine. They are a lot of fun to drive and is probably the cheapest car you will find with a 500 horsepower engine. If you get it you wont be disappointed
