A local Chrysler dealer has an 03 Mach for sale for a bit over 20K, I absolutely love my car but the idea of a Mach has me wondering, I owe about 4K more than what shes's worth. Id hate to start over but its tempting

The question is, do you want to eat the difference on what you owe if you are trading it in? Do you think you will be able to get more than if you were to sell your GT outright?

I'm sure you can talk them down, but is it really a car you want,(stick/auto, high miles/?) etc.

A Mach will hold its value better than a GT even with your mods you have done.

Do what you decide.....we need pics tho!

By looking at your bolt on parts, id stick with your car. With the time and money you have invested, id just stay with what you have. Maybe buy one of those neat shaker hoods and ditch the fake one the rest of us have. Actually.... get one of those SRT-8 Chargers from the dealership

Yeah...definately crazy. Rather than taking a loss on your car, why not throw a Mach 1 Shaker hood on your car. A lot less money involved in that transaction. Besides the dealer will just roll the negative equity into the Mach 1, then you're stuck with another car you owe too much on. Improve what you have. Good luck either way.

Its listed for 21K +, 2003 and has almost 50000 miles. Guess Ill go to plan B: Save some green and get either a Novi 2000 or a 2.1 KB.

That's too much for a 2003 Mach 1 with that many miles....I would say 17-18K would be more reasonable. That being said, I traded in my former 2001 GT for a brand new 2003 Mach 1 back in June of 2003. I have never regretted having done so one bit. Difference was I had 2K equity in the GT; had I been upside down it would have been a little tougher decision.....nahhhh.
