So how long have you had yours? more importantly.......how many times have you been tempted to sell it?

ive had my 88 5.0 for going on a year in April. hard to believe its been that long. and ive been tempted to sell it a few times but never went though with it.

then the 86 my dad has had for 3 years. ( will be going on 4 years in july. ) the 86 my dad bought it the reason i really started pushing to get a 5.0

i want to sell it for a new car, but cannot afford a new car, so she's going to just stay as clean as possible, and hopefully the rust-bug won't bite.

the 50 or 60 grand in college loans must be tackled first

I've had my white car since Feb. 14, 1999 and will sell it when I can no longer walk downstairs to the garage. I have honestly never been tempted to sell. I had my previous Mustang (a 1969 base coupe with a 302, my first car) from 1978 until I sold it in 2000 because I didn't have the financial where withall to restore it and had a need for cash at the time. I regret it daily.

I bought it in July of 06, so nearly 2 years. Bought it with my first bonus I got from joining The Army in 05.

The only time I've thought about selling is when it started giving me problems. Now, I just laugh if something breaks, and it gives me a chance to replace it with shiny new parts.

6/1/04, I Thought about selling it back when it was an auto and had the oil burning engine. Recently I thought about getting a 99-04 GT for the newness and I like the body style, but I need to drive one first to see if I like it. Also I dont want to be one of those people that regretted selling their 5.0 or other muscle car.

Plus a hot girl I know loves foxes... oh well.

April 2002...was a dream come true to reach a point in my life where I could spend time and money on a project and get it just the way I always wanted a mustang to be....love it.
6 yrs later with a handsome little man here, and another in the works I'll continue to love that car....but with someone else holding the keys.....

Haha. Never went a penny into debt w/it so I'm not worried. Still better off than if I'd spent more and done payments on a brand new common, boring car that compounded to ridiculous costs

I've had my LX for just over 1 year, and don't plan on ever selling. I drove my car home from the hospital in it, and in about 18-20 years it will be hers. My GT I have had about 6 years and after I get done restoring it I am going to give it to my oldest daughter when she is around 18. So I don't ever plan on selling either of these, but I do plan on getting lots more!

I have the 93 since June 04 and the 88 since August 06.

Pretty much anytime I end up working on them I think about selling them

Actually the 93 is getting the trans replaced, repainted, seats recovered and then sold.
