I have an 80k mile warranty on my used car. Saved about $5k versus buying new. So I get all the benefits and save money.

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.

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.

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.

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..
