I need real opinions here.....
 

Ok, to the point. I am trying to decide weather or not to pay off my current mustang, keep it, and get a new GT/Cobra/Whatever. OR, trade my current mustang in and hope the depreciation value doesnt kill me. Now, for the juicy details.

I own a 2004 V6 Mustang. It has a dual exhaust system, rear seat delete kit, I painted the interior myself, and it has a Cervinis Stalker body kit on it, and I have LED headlights, taillights, and 3rd brake light. If I was to trade it in, I know I wouldnt get full trade in value because of the cosmetic modifications, but I dont know how much I would get hit for it. I owe $8500.00 on it, and the trade in value is roughly $10000.00.

So, what does everyone think? Thank you in advance for any advice given.

return the car to stock before trading it in, if you are going to trade it in.

I'd sell the car yourself and try to get the RETAIL value...don't settle for the trade in value.

tru that

I cant return it to stock. I sold the rear seats to a friend, I dont have the stock exhaust, or the stock body parts, I sold those when I had the body kit installed. Maybe I should just pay it off and keep it, and get a new mustang.

the rear seat delete is going to be real costly...thats going to haunt you...even the old faithful high school first car buyer is gonna want that rear seat...only guys that would appreciate the rear seat delete are track guys and most of them arent going to want to buy a v6...i say keep it...i know from experiance that the new mustang CANNOT be your only car...

BS.

Move to Georgia.

Yeah, I kind of figured all that with the rear seat delete. I should have kept the stock parts, but at the time, I thought I could do so much with the V6 platform at the time. Apparently I should have just bought the V8 from the beginning lol. I probably will keep the 6er and make it my show car, and buy a new GT or Cobra.

well if you can just buy a new GT or Cobra...no worries about the sixer then.

or keep going with the sixer...talk to teal beast (twin turbo v6), or whoever else. You could make it fast.

why in the world would anyone want to do that?

There, I gave you 2 pieces of advice and a real opinion, as your thread topic had requested.

Now as for your problem...Sell your car privately and buy my Cobra :).

You can. There is lots of mods that you can do 2 ur six. They can become very fast cars you just got to hunt around. Sounds dumb to some people but Im going to do lots of stuff to my six make it the best I can b/c that what I have and Im going to live w/ it

yeah...theres tons you can do with the new six...ever since 1999 its not the weakling car it used to be...just have to mod her up....
