I don't know, I've owned 9 GT's and 1 Cobra over 24-years, on my 25th car. That may make me a fickle person, prefer capricious over fickle, but the GT, V6, Boss, GT500 part of the quotient is irrelevant, as I don't think a specific model within a vehicle line-up will define an individual.

Remind me again, what's the point of this thread?

 

You think that's bad, wait until the 2013 GT500 hits the lots, I think the turnover will be very high.

As people that only drove high HP European sportcars will be tempted by the 650+HP GT500, and when they realize just how different a solid axle car drives compared to the European cars they're used to driving, they will be flipping their used GT500's right back into the market.

 

I still don't get the original question. Most people that I know that have been through many mustangs just get bored after a while. Build them, have some fun, get somewhat bored, start all over again. I'm on my 4th mustang along with a long list of other cool cars. A majority of mustang owners are car people. And most of them don't have the space or funds to just keep every one of them.
V6 buyers usually upgrade to GT's. GT owners usually upgrade or dream of upgrading to Shelby's or a Boss. Just a car guy(or gal) mentality.

 

I may be misunderstanding this point, but I for one, buy USED, maintain it, drive it until it drives no more, then buy another. My last 5 vehicles averaged over 200K (nothing for a modern vehicle maintained). My current Mustang will be no different. It's well maintained, kept clean, but in no way is it a garage queen/fair weather car. In 5 months, I've already put 21K on it.

As to the original topic of this thread, I don't see the point. People come, people go. We buy, we sell.

I wish I could afford the Boss. It would have the 21K my current Mustang has if I could.

 

todays society, not satisfied with what we have, always want the better item that just comes out...sorta like a status symbol. back years ago, buyers didnt have the luxury of financing a car at 0% then trading it in 3 years later for 0% again, back then you paid 12-15% loans and had to work for all the money you could get to buy the car...yes it was an investment, not in the money sense but hard work and pride to own a new car. everyone now adays are spoiled little brats who think they can just get what they want whenever. stepping on some toes here but if you think and look really hard you will find the truth in the statement. (not everyone is a brat, but in general) heck, i could fall into this so its not specific groups.

 

The statement "easy come, easy go" was coined for a reason. Those buyers who work their asses off for years are less likely to drop their 14-month old car for the next model simply because the car means more. The most valuable things are always the ones that came at the highest cost to the owner. Perhaps it is stepping on toes but the fact is, younger generations are less aware of the value of hard work and patience. They're too concerned with pleasing themselves now.

 

I plan on modding my car until I pay it off... which will be Dec 2015 (5 year finance); if there is something out then that is new and exciting, then ya, I will sell my stang without a doubt. I'm sure the stang will get old after a few years anyways... I've had it for a year and a half and would already like something different, but for me, there isn't anything (new and in my price range that is) out currently and worth trading up for.
