Here's the deal: I've been working out a deal for a black on black leather '05 GT manual trans car with the wheel upgrade but the standard interior. The car is absolutely bloody marvelous but in order to buy it, I need to sell my 1969 Porsche and 2001 Jeep. If I do the deal, I'll have the 2005 GT and my 1989 LX 5.0L notchback to play with. No brainer right? Being Mustang guys, I can forsee this but look at what I'd be giving up:





I love my Porsche and Jeep but that Mustang... Do I need two? Why is life so hard?!?

Sell the Porsche and 89, keep the Jeep for the winter. The Jeep looks good. I had one for 10 years, put 208,000 miles on it with original clutch. I loved it, put it on the beach down in Hatteras many times, no rust on it when I sold it. Pays to take car of your vehicals, they take care of you.
Well that is my opinion on your ordeal anyway. The Mustang is a great car for the price.

Keep the Porsche & Jeep. Better things will come in 06 and 07, and there have been enough hassles already with the 05 that it seems like waiting would be the wise choice.

I would wait and keep the jeep and the porsche. The porsche is a good investment and will bring top dollar around the 40 year old mark ...so 2009 and up .
The jeep is great every day go anywhere transportation .
If it was me I would wait a few years and then pick up a corbra or a mach 1 ....might as well have it all

Sell the Jeep and the lx stang But keep the porsche make payments if you must have the "must have car of 05" I am in love with the 05 but parting with a classic like that would be a mistake :nono:



Just my opinion

Keep the Jeep and the Porsche. Wait until you can afford a Mustang without a trade. Then you will have three of the greatest automotive icons of all time.

i agree with everyone else that's put in their two cents- keep the porche and jeep- i have a 79 jeep- all original- i wouldn't sell it for anythign! not even the mustang..... i'm waiting till 06 so i can put down a hefty hefty down payment- then that way- i have a brand new car that i wont be upside down on in two years! lol - good luck

What is the saying...."He who dies with the most toys wins".....That Porsche is a classic. I would not part with it for sure.

I would keep the porsche,

As much as I love mustangs, you are going to get rid of a car that does not depreciate for a car whose value will drop the minute you drive it off the lot.

Somehow if I were you I would figure out a way to keep the 911, you don't see too many of the old ones around here, whereas in a year or two the S197 Mustangs will be all over the place.

Sell your Porsche... sell your Jeep... sell your house even!

Buy as many stangs as you can.... all colors.... and then you'll definitely be satisfied
