Should I sell?

Very tough decision. I have an offer of $32k on my Mustang that has 2,690 miles. Mods are in my sig. I want to sell it because I want to get a new z06 in the next couple years. However, I'm torn on whether to keep or not. Any of you that have been through something like this have any sound advice? Just looking for some helpful words from people who don't have any emotional involvement, emotion clouds logic.

You come to a Mustang site to ask if you should sell to buy a chebby???

You must be just looking for someone to talk you out of selling then.

In that case then you already know what the answer is.

I agree all you're going to get is a bunch opinions bla bla the z06 is sweet bla bla keep your mustang. All you'll be waiting for is the one response to either justify to you keeping it or justify to you wanting to sell it.

Its only a car, whatever you decide is not the end of the world.

Side note, only 2600 miles? You either don't really enjoy driving it that much or other things are going on in your life that prevent you from driving it so if that's the case sell it.

Since your not driving it, you might as well sell it. Save the $800 per year on insurance as well. The value of the car is certainly not going up.

Perhaps you could rent a corvette in phoenix since your close by: www.exoticcarrentalsphoenix.com/ This could help sway your decision one way or another.

I'll flat out tell you. Don't sell it for a Chevy! That is all.
Seriously though why ask others?

If you have the fortitude to keep the 32K in the bank, and not use it for anything else you would be fine. But that's hard to do as life gets in the way of living really fast at times. And remember, you will be somewhere in the neighborhood of 40K+ short of a new Z06. I guess I look at it this way, "A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush". Good luck on your decision.

idk, I expect the z06 to be quite expensive if you buy it new, like 3x what you are getting for the mustang at the least. zo6 will probably have great numbers, but its still plastic.

Say it ain't so man... Say it ain't so. You were one of the ones who convinced me to get a blower. Don't do it

Hey I'm just trying to benefit from others' bad decisions to sell their cars and buy Chevy's. The parts would be more loved by me anyways

Id say it depends on your current DD...

Its very nice thinking, I COULD drive that beast in the garage.... but I guess I'll keep the miles off it today and be more eco-friendly on my way to work.

Its a whole other thing to know that your DD is the only option for driving that day.

Platitude: Do whatever makes you happiest.
That being said the new Z06 promises to be a monster and if money wasn't an issue I would get one.
