Let's see... poor gas mileage, insurance rapes me, and it's a haunted...

A $20 part needed to be fixed, it ended up costing $400 and I now have a built 5.0 rear differential, I was involved in a fender bender less than 4 houses away from my house (not my fault), took 9 weeks to get the check, 2 days after everything was fixed, My mom backed up into my brand new painted bumper. And it was also broken into 3-4 months ago.

I'm tired of it.

There's not much I can strip. I'm gonna take off the BBK CAI and return it to stock tune. Also, it looks like I'm gonna be able to keep the 18" chrome rims and trade it in with the winter tires.

Other than that, there isn't much I can do. So an Xcal2, BBK CAI, and 18" chrome rims might be for sale soon.

It's actually a Toyota. Same engine, transmission, frame, suspension as the Matrix.

I do like the Mazda 3's, BUT the Mazda 3's have no trunk space at all, also gas mileage slightly less, but most importantly, they're over my budget.

I don't mean to flame bro, but have you thought it all out economically? u gotta take the difference in price. as in is your stang paid off? how much are you making off the deal, vs spending the gas money, I'd almost guarrentee you'll actually be loosing money with that trade in if the stang isn't paid off...

It's not so much for gas mileage, but I'll EASILY be able to save $50 a month in gas. Yea, not a lot, but again, that's not the main reason.

Insurance I'll save a good amount also.

But it's more for the fact that the Vibe can fit 4 people, very comfortably at that, and there is a lot of trunk space.

No, I don't need the space right now, but in 1-2 years, I will. And in that amount of time, My Stang won't be worth $hit. Also, I've had SOOOOO many problems with my Mustang, and quite frankly, I'm sick of it. The vibe is simply a better choice for me and what I'm looking for.

I knew I would get flamed and I'm not bashing anyone, just wanted to keep you updated

Well I ain't getting that black one. Asking too much for a trade in. Unless I can get my car sold soon, it won't be that one.

There's a few other's I like, but they are silver, and silver is about my last choice in color I want.

I don't really like vibes myself, but you're a big boy and can make your own decisions. i say do what you need to do and if that forces you to sell your stang, so be it.
