Ordered mine in January of 05, picked it up March 29th of 05. Has 120K miles on it now and it's sole purpose is to sit there and look pretty from this point forward. I bought a Raptor and it's now my daily driver. The Mustang goes out on nice days only and is currently sitting there waiting for me to replace the IUP dash panels with the black ones I bought and to install the Boss 302 steering wheel. I too will not ever sell the car, learned that mistake from my father who sold his 1969 Mach 1 Super Cobra Jet because his 3rd wife didn't like it sitting in the garage taking up space, he has regretted it terribly ever since. I have a baby picture of me sitting on the hood. So depressing. So if anyone here still has theirs since new, DON'T SELL IT.

How do you like the Raptor? I'm not much of a truck guy but if I wanted a truck, that's the beast I'd go with that's for sure.

Bought my '08 GT off the lot almost five years ago. Has just over 8000 miles on it. May sell/trade it on a new 2014/15 Mustang depending on how it turns out.

This is awesome to hear. I don't plan on selling mine either. This was the first car I custom ordered and did the aftermarket work myself. I love it too much to give it up.

Heck, I got in an accident that was kind a bad, but I still fixed her up because I wanted to keep the same car (This was late 09, so I couldn't get the same body).

And i bet that 3rd wife isnt around anymore from the sounds of things. My wife (1st and hopefully only) and i had a talk before we got married that the Mustang isnt going anywhere. Any other vehicle, including my bike, which my dad used to take me for rides on when i was little, is on the table. But not the Mustang

Took delivery new on 9/7/2005. She's a daily driver with over 100k miles. still fun to drive and pulls like a bull.

Sure, she's had all the usual wear and tear issues (convertible top TSB, the inner panels of the doors peeling, and she loves to eat batteries). But I hope to be driving her for several more years.

I bought mine new in 07. Have almost 25k on it now. This site and project source horse had me hooked on the car and it took me two years to get where i needed to be to buy one.

We still have our 2008 Black "Warrior In Pink" edition, bought new Memorial Day weekend in 2008. Sally has about 14k miles. We also still have Scarlet, with 192k miles, our 1989 LX 5.0 hatch that I purchased new on April 17, 1989. Yes, my version of the 25th Anniv Mustang Ford never did. Both Mustangs were purchased new off of the same dealer's lot.
