SAD Day... Had to let her go.
First off I just wanted to say how much I loved and enjoyed my baby. When I bought her (at the urging of my wife)we had 3 kids so we figured we could work it. Well we are now expecting our 4th (plus we foster kids ) So I decided to trade her in for a bigger vehicle. We got a 07 T&C which has all the room we need now. I was tired of having to take 2 cars when we went somewhere. We have an explorer that will work for me and the kids and the van when we all need to go somewhere. I still plan on visiting the forums in hopes of one day again being able to own another stang. When we were leaving the lot my wife started to cry, I think she will miss it as much as me. Later and stay safe.

You did an admirable thing putting your family first. I believe that what goes around comes around, and you will have another one, one day. Best of luck to you.

In any event, good luck, you'll have another one someday!

Thanks for the kind words. We were doing that, but if she had a Dr. appointment or something I would have to drive acroos town to swap vehicles- and being 7 mths pregnant climbing in and out of the stang was rough for her.

Sometimes putting the family first isn't the easiest thing to do but you really stepped up to the plate & made the right call, you can always get another Mustang and the T/C is better for a growing family...Ya gotta have the right car to suit your needs now and there'll be other opportunities for you to get one.

As all the people have said before me. "Family always comes FIRST". Wait for those kids to grow up and then they can all pitch in and buy you another. LOL. Good luck and once a mustang owner, you will always be part if the mustang family!

Hey Gator, I almost had to sell mine for similar reasons, fortunately my situation worked out and I got to keep it. I agree with Donna, What goes around comes around and you will be rewarded later on down the road for your unselfish act!!!!!!!Don't be a stranger!!!!!

Gator, you did the right thing by putting your family first just as others here have said. You've got good karma. Someday you and your wife will have another Mustang just for play. Best wishes.

Now I know that I'm patting myself on the back, but I've wanted a Mustang since 1996. Instead I got a good job, married, had 3 children, bought a responsible family hauler (Windstar) in 2003, racked up 92K since then, got a good raise at work and decided to buy the only car that really moved me in 2007. Viva la Mustang!!!

Don't worry,
when the time is right just find a good used one! There will be plenty of them around and when you get them used now the prices have really started to come down! Congratulations on the new family member.
