Default Thinking of Trading...

According to ford I will get 15,500 for my 2004 GT with 23000 mi. I was thinking about trading it for a 2003 Mach 1 with 8,500 mi. The Mach 1 is about 22,000. Anybody have an opinion on whether i should consider the trade.

If you are buying it just for the performance I would say no because you can be making close to 400 horsepower with that 7 grand in the GT..I love the mach 1's though and i almost bought one but with the money i saved I have a s/c going on in the spring

Never EVER trade in with a Ford dealer unless you like your ***** being ripped off.

Sell privately, then buy.

Thanks for the opinions... I decided to keep my GT and put that cash towards mods.

Sell your car privately and then buy the mach.

You can get 03 Cobras for 22K private party. Sell your GT and then buy a snake, skip the mach.

I picked up my 01 GT for 12,500 then have put about 10K into performance and appearance to have a 400 hp car that is rather unique. I could have gotten a grey mach for around 23K a couple years ago but I really wouldn't have been able to afford to make it "my own"
