i dont know man. im not getting rid of mine until things start to go that i cant diagnosis and im sick of having it towed to my far away mechanic. that continuously would piss me off enough to let it go. even then i think i will tolerate it to an extent. other then that im not letting it go.

too much time and money in them at this point. if you ever want to do it again you have to start over and that sucks.

you have the car now, once its gone its gone. later comes marrige and kids, then there is no time to build a car like ours. if you own it i say keep it.

i put about 2000 miles of really spirited driving on it a year. that keeps me very happy during the summer months.
good luck

I feel you. I'm selling mine too. 02 with 7,500 miles.
I never drive it! Just seems like a waste. I put the time and money into too, sucks.
I will be sad to see it go. I plan on getting something else down the road though too.
Good luck man!

I remember the last time you wanted to sell it you ended up buying a bunch of stuff for it. Do it again.

I wouldn't sell it unless you have to. Not only is it a nice car but now is NOT the time to sell a car. You would get raped trying to sell that car right now. Hell there is a 03 Cobra for sell here with under 20k miles and hes only asking 18k for it and still cant sell it.

Yea you're right actually. lol

This time it's up on craigslist though. If the right person comes along and for the right price, I'm letting her go.

Come April she'll need new rubber, gotta fix up my side skirt (curbed it in a parking deck ), fix a ballast that seems to have gone bad, and on top of that, it eats gas like a whore lol Tires are going to hit me for close to $1,000, paint work will run me near $200, new ballast is like $30 plus the time to debug it (hoping that's the case). I just can't justify the $1,500+ I have to put into it considering I DONT DRIVE IT

I'm just spoiled in my girls altima all the time. Nice quiet and soft ride. Luxury sports car will be my next car. 335i, G35S, etc.

I know it'll hurt to watch her drive away...

I know what you mean. I have pair of BMWs and just bought a Benz. The build/ride of those cars is light years better than a Ford and I have occasionally wondered if I should just sell the stang. I only drive it on nice dry summer days, and its garaged all winter...
I'll know I'll never sell it though. Its just not worth it. You wont get that much $$$$ for it for it to be worth losing it after all that time that youve put into it. Do you have somewhere to garage it?

I'm going to sell my old 525i once this winter is over, but I'm keeping the Stang for life. It was the first decent car I ever owned, and I'll always love it.

I don't. It sits in front of my condo at the moment. It's terrible.

Selling it will take a huge burden of debt off my shoulders though.
