So uh......


Yeah I'd like to think I'll keep my car forever, but its not uncommon for it to cross my mind to get rid of it and get something much more practical and reliable. But then I wouldn't have a project car and I'd probably regret it, especially since Mach 1's are not seen very often.

I've had 12 Mustangs since 2005, but the 2012 just seems to keep hanging around for some reason. Will probably pay it off (only have a few more payments anyway) and then either sell it, or go all out on it.

Right now I say keep. I'm not sold on the new generation of mustangs yet. Give me about 3 or 4 years...I usually get the itch for something new when I have about a year left on the note.

I've owned three fox bodies including an old "four-eye" This one will definately be harder to get rid of.

I'm keeping mine. The only way I'll get rid of it is if I come across a smoking deal on a GHIG boss or a '13-14 gt500.

If I had a GT500 I would be content as hell but I can see me trading in my 2012 for a GT500ish car in a couple 3 years so mine will be paid off.

This guy....this guy has the right idea.

I traded into my Fox so I wouldn't have a payment anymore. I can't imagine getting rid of it but you never know what could pop up. I'm not a fan of car payments though so that kinda limits me down a bit..

As for me, this car is staying with me for quite a while now. Way too much $$$ invested for me not to own this car a long time.
Smart man. I tell people the same thing. My 1.9% payment is lower than most folks leased car. But hey to each his own.

I haven't planned on trading it in yet because...THERE'S SIMPLY NOTHING TO GET! LMAO

I need to see the new ATS-V, Camaro SS, Cuda/Chally, and get some real M4 numbers before I think about getting rid of it. One things for sure though...I will not get a GT, SS, or RT model muscle car. My next ride will the track version or top dog version of one of the muscle cars...or a V or M series luxury coupe. All of this will be here around 2016 and I will be car note free by then

He hit some rough times and had to let it go back. I told him he was fool to let it go and to let some other crap go. I had just bought my G35 and couldn't take over payments. Now the truck is a classic.
