Maybe it's measured in years, maybe in miles. Whatever your reasons Do you have an end date with your current car? Or do you plan to Barn it at some point and never let go

Probably 10 years at least. There's nothing else on the market that really checks all thr boxes. And prices on everything have gone to the moon. Since I bought my car new there's little reason not to keep it.

My plan was and is to keep the car until I cannot drive any longer. It's going to be a while. :giggle:

Styling-wise, the 6G is one of the best generation Mustangs. The mechanicals of the S550 are well-known, well-sorted in the later years. Supporting that, there's a healthy aftermarket and spares market.

I'm fortunate I got the exact spec I wanted in what I consider an enduring Mustang color. "Don't F with it.", continues to be my thought on acquiring anything else.

Probably until about 200k miles. Usually daily drivers start to become expensive after that.

I don’t have plans on selling it.
I need a reliable daily driver that also doubles as my sunshine droptop cruiser.
I like to buy higher end exotic cars as weekend toys with questionable reliability at best. There isn’t anything else out there that fills my daily driver convertible need better than the mustang.
The only way I’d replace it would be due to an accident, and even then I would probably replace it with someone else’s garage queen 6th gen mustang lol.
The combination of style, comfort, performance, technology, price, highway mpg efficiency, and reliability haven’t been matched in any other vehicle.

I usually trade-in my cars around the 3 year mark but my GT500 has been so much fun that I’ve decided I am keeping it for the long haul so I purchased the Ford ESP. I don’t rack up much mileage so I went with the 10 year/48k mile plan. I’m at 13k miles now.

I don't usually plan to sell my cars, but sometimes I get a thought in my head and I end up selling - mostly because I decide to buy something else.

I got my 2017 really cheap compared to what stuff costs now, so that helps me to resist the urge to sell. Plus I spent way too much time adding coolers to the transmission and rear diff - and cutting holes in the hood for better engine cooling. All that would probably kill the resale value and I really don't want to take the time to put it back to stock. So the smartest thing at the moment is to just hold onto it.

I was looking at Aston Martins and Porsches this morning on cars.com...

I bought mine a few years before I retired. After some 20+ years of raising a wife and kids, it was my early retirement gift to myself. So, the answer is: not for a long time. But, everything has a price.

Until Farley leaves and the Mustang Design Team isn’t a bunch of hack-job, no talent, gamers regurgitating a prior platform as a Dodgemaro and gluing iPads to dashboards….
