What did you trade/sell to get your Mustang?
#181
It was a nice car for about 5000 miles.
The dealer was the most incompetent one I've ever dealt with. Their fix for a leaking rear window washer was "Stop using it." I ended up getting banned from said dealer because they said I questioned them too much.![Doh](https://themustangsource.com/forums/images/smilies/doh.gif)
It started rattling and things would come apart going down the road. I was riding down the interstate, hit a bump and the rearview mirror fell in my lap. I went through two steering wheels because the stitching would come out and the leather would begin to unwrap itself. I had two door panels replaced because the soft-touch coating wore off where my arm sat. My windshield started to delaminate at around 30,000 miles. I had a seat cover replaced because it tore around the airbag for no apparent reason. In the end, the rattles just became unbearable considering it was a nearly $30,000 car new.
The DSG transmission I had was horrible. I was jerky and slow, and looked like I couldn't drive. Towards the end, it started false neutraling at stop lights and would just rev up and then slam into gear, which my new dealer told me was normal for a 34,000 mile car. As was a leaking valve cover gasket.
I traded it with 36,001 miles on it. The rear brakes were down to the indicator and started squealing as I turned into the Ford Dealer.
The gave me $20,000 trade in when I owed $17,000. So that was a nice down payment on the 5.0.

Yep, that's wht I traded my TT for my 5.0 (well, one of the reasons).
The Audi/VW dealer in Augusta couldn't repair anything and their customer service was horrible. I swear every time I took the TT in for a repair it would come back without being fixed and at least one other thing broken.

Either way, I'm much happier and better off in my 5.0. My payment only went up about $70/month and my insurance only went up about $10/month vs. the GTI.

Sold our '66 GT coupe a few months ago...and am currently selling my '94 Cobra ( 347 stroker ) to finance a '14 Premium GT. She'll be a manual SGM with Track Pack, Leather Recaros, and Glass Roof.
Here are some photos of the '66 GT and the Cobra...
The green '66 coupe is mine forever
( restored it from the ground up ).

Somehow I'll make it thru...I'm thinking a Kenne Bell on the '14 will help! But then the '14 will be quicker than my '66...so that'll lead to a stronger motor in that car. Life is tough!!

Here is my old car! Also where I formed my name...I probably should have updated it when I joined here. I used to be all about Euro cars when I was younger but now I own 3 American beasts!
