Paying mine off and then get a used 2014 GT500.

mmmmmm
:big_banana_Dance::big_banana_Dance:

just refinanced it so that i can keep it until i break it, then fix it and enjoy it some more. i had it up for sale for a short time so glad that got fixed.

If you have good credit and get a loan for less than 2%, I think it is stupid to buy a car cash with that. You can make a better return on investment by investing the money and having a monthly car payment. That is what I tell everyone when they buy cars.

As for me, this car is staying with me for quite a while now. Way too much $$$ invested for me not to own this car a long time.

This is a horrible question for me, every time I say I'm going to keep a car I don't.

I think I have an addiction.

No payments and I plan on keeping this car forever. I always wanted a vert fox since I watched the movie twins when I was a kid. Now I have it and it isn't going anywhere.

My daily is a Dodge truck. It is far more comfortable than the Mustang for stop and go traffic heading into downtown Dallas 5 days of the week!

And as I had planned (note so sure now, but I still may) on keeping the car I am not running up the mileage doing the boring and menial act of commuting.

It's 7 years old, has no dings and the paint and interior are almost perfect. A few rock chips from not having clear bra but easily fixed.

Of the 18K+ miles, 14K+ of them have been at 700+ rwhp. Thus when it is driven, it gets DRIVEN.

I completely agree. But most don't exercise that level of critical thinking when it comes to a car purchase. Most car purchases are emotional decisions.

Bought my car because I've always wanted a Mustang. Also bought the car to actually drive the car. Sure it would be nice to have a daily, especially a truck I could use more often for hauling my bicycle, dog, etc, but I enjoy driving my car everytime I sit in the drivers seat.

People that buy cars new, finance them, and they have them sit in a garage on purpose because they don't want to drive it is dumb to me. The resale on these cars is already horrible. Why not enjoy it?

Mine will be staying with me until it's either wrecked, or falls apart. Years from now it will be racecar status.

Well said!

Resale may suck but I like to keep my value at about avg trade.

Guess it all kinda depends on what you want out of the car too. I don't want to always have to tinker with my car either and not looking for insane power. So if I can retire it, throw a TVS with e85 and low boost making around 600 that's perfect for me.

Also I think we all do enjoy the evolving technology in cars too so I wouldn't mind even my horsepower toy to have more gadgets too.

That's my plan.

You guys should come to the Denton meet on Tuesdays.

Plan on using my GT as DD and occasional AX & DE car - will do suspension mods and minor perf bolt-ons, but nothing too radical. Have two other projects that will keep me busy: My '74 Carrera was retired as my DD for last 2 years by the GT and my '69 Chevelle is in the midst of 2nd restoration.

Probably pay off and keep it for a very long time. And I will not buy a new car again in a long time. Damn payments suck.
