Not sure what I am going to do. I have two SVT Mustangs and and am out of garage space to be able to add something new.

I will never sell my 04 Cobra. Which puts the 2011 GT500 in the cross hairs.

Not sure if it is worth paying to store it offsite for a car that may get 1000 miles a year going forward. My kids do not want me to sell it.

I just can't justify spending $$$$$ on a new car and letting it set outside (northern winters).

What decision did you guys make when faced with a similar situation? Keep a depreciating asset or sell it with fond memories?

 

Sounds like its time to build a detached garage.

 

Already have an extra detached garage and it is full as well.

 

Seems like a good problem to have - too many Mustangs.

I made a similar decision this spring regarding my beautiful Aprilia motorcycle. It was hard, but my personal sentimentality towards vehicles is short term. Glad I sold her. Maintaining insurance, keeping the fluids and engine fresh etc, for a bike I rarely rode, just didn't make sense. Despite the rarety and beauty of it.

 

1st world problems...

Not a bad problem to have at all my friend. What do you plan on replacing the Shelby with? Will the memories be better with the new rig? I do understand fun is subjective but with so few miles a year, are you really doing anything to have amazing memories in the less than 100 mile a month average?

 

I sold my cobra this year. Yeah I just wasn't using the car at all. If you were to keep one, I would keep the cobra also. The GT500 is not gonna hold its value like the cobra and you still have one very fun car to drive and enjoy. It would be easy enough to pick up another clean Shelby if you feel like you made a bad decision later.

 

I hope you are not one of those that use the garage to store a bunch of crap instead of cars. If so, time for a yard sale.

 

Hey watch yourself! Everything goes in my garage but the cars. Lol

 

I have a fairly large yard so I need space for riding lawn mowers, kids stuff, golf cart but that all goes in the back detached shed/garage.

I have all 3 slots at the main garage taken already with the wife's vehicle and the two mustangs.

 

Going back and forth between an M4 and a GTR. Both have their pros/cons.

 

Sell both, get a hellcat. Never buy any other car again.
Problem fixed.

 

Definitely get the gtr. You won't regret it. Crazy fast, looks gorgeous, and awd.

 

Thanks for the laugh. Well played!

 

Personally unless I was made of money I wouldn't spend more money to garage a car that is going to sit idle most of the time losing value every year. So I say get rid of it and get something you are going to drive more often.

 

Yeah like a CLA 45. That'd be my daily.

 

That's the most fun you can have for around 40K short of getting a regular GT Track Pack. Very nice car though. There are a couple of them around. I haven't driven one yet though. I would can the Shelby.

 

Great lil 2L turbo!

 

I'd say drop the turbo and for the price of a GTR, pick up Supercharged Roush or Shelby Raptor. There's other fun that can be had off pavement.

 

You can just give it to me...I'll make room for it!!!!!
