Default Trade in 2012 GT

What advice do you guys have for me! Please lend your advice. I'm thinking about trading in my '12 GT for a '13 or '14. I have never traded in a car I still owed on.

Probably not going to be worth it honestly. The value of '11-'12 MY of our cars is crap. Skip at Grapevine (Mustang sales god) offered 23-24k for my Roush that had a sticker of 46k less than a year ago. Most offers hang in the 19-20k range. He said that offer was even pushing it. Good luck though I've had 3 offers so far and I would honestly rather just keep mine instead now.

i'd keep it unless you want to come out of pocket...a lot.
your '12 looks much better than the '13-'14 anyways.
i can see the appeal of having a new car, but ive been there and traded in upside down before...paid close to 26k for a 19k Civic...never again.

Whoa....hey now...'12's look much better than '13's?? I've NEVER heard anyone say that! Lol I guess everyone is entitled to their opinion. I love my '13, but if I was you, I would not trade in man. It's not worth the hit you'll take! Negative equity sucks! Believe me, I paid over $50k for an Expedition because of it. High payments for a new car are completely overrated. I considered trading in for a '13 Shelby, but you can sink that money into your car and make it a lot faster!

i'll clarify. IMO, the front of the 11-12 looks better. the 13-14 has better tail lights. since i see most people in my rear view mirror as im walking them, im tired of looking at the 13-14 front end

Gotcha. I'd say that's because '13's and '14's are so new. Most people don't have highly modded '13's and '14's yet. Give it a year...hell give it to the end of the summer when Lucille screams by you with an F1

But to your point about the '12's having a better looking front end, I think the lower fascia on the '12's are better looking. Additionally, the can be modified a lot easier and cheaper too.

I sat on a custom one at the auto show this year. And I now it's the same inside but feeling it while your in the driver seat really looks better. I like the new body style. Plus I wouldn't mind getting another one with no miles!
