Worked all day on trying to make a deal on a new Mustang today ...
(w/ Memorial Day $ale + incentives)

deal wont pencil out due to the rapid depreciation of my Sixer

I paid right at $21k (plus fees) including $5K down, rapidly paid down to a balance owed of $7k ...

Guess what they offered for trade-in ?

yep,,, just $7K !!!!

55,000 miles + 33 months = 2/3 value lost

no wrecks / no abuse / dozens of upgrades / por nada

Awesome!

I have 95,500 on my 06.

You should join our club as you are obviously a "Roamin' Pony"...

not sure about the SGT. i have not really kept up with it this year. been busy with life, and the expectation that i will be keeping my car for at least 2 more years unless ford decides to give us those cubes.
