Until I'm pushing daisies... or it gets totaled.
Same here. I told my 10 year old, it's his when I'm gone. I expect several attempts on my life soon.:eyebulge:

Essentially forever.

Strange tax rules in my country mean it would be punitively expensive to try and sell it anytime before 2026.... so the plan is to keep it until its a classic :)

No plans on ever selling it. Waited a long time for the right car at the right time (family priorities). I enjoy every minute behind the wheel, keep it clean and covered when it`s not on the road. Had a lot of "classic cars" over the years, but I`m really liking the power, performance and features of the GT premium. Just push the start button and go!

Similar to this. Waited a looonnng time to purchase this car as my first mustang. Have always wanted one. Also, my first born daughter was born a month ago so I'm hoping that she will appreciate it someday and that it will be "our thing."

I always figured at least 5 years if I like the assumed heavier refresh in 2020-ish, but man bring in the presence of a 2017 GT350 on a showroom floor yesterday (while dropping off my EcoBoost for service) sure did make me rethink the "YOLO" factor.

Wow.

A $35k or more difference in cost, nevermind that initial property tax bill though...does help keep a guy grounded and in love with that EcoBoost. :frusty:

I bought it to keep. The car I sold to buy this one was a 1997 Mistubishi 3000 GT Vr4. I got that car in 1999. Sold it to a fellow in Vegas in 2017. My wife asked me if I planned to be buried in my Shelby Mustang which I got in 1982.

Still have the 86. Kept the 01 Cobra until it was totaled June 2016. Tend to drive these cars and then refurbish (86) or total (01).

At my age, this is my last new car. My next purchase will be a used truck

Probably after the C8 Z06 comes out .. then the C7s should come down a bit more. Love my Mustang but I have always wanted a Vette. :)

Never know though -- might take the difference in money and just SC this car. Too many choices.

I have contemplated trading already.. but that's just me lately. Honestly, I love this sob and will likely keep it till after its paid off (2021) LOL.

The miles are low (11.5k) and I have had it two years. Come pay off, it should have around 30-40k on it, and I'll still have a nice bit of equity in it for a trade. See what the 2021 S650 is like.

Gonna keep it until the issues and cost of fixing them is not worth it. I've had no problems so far, I wonder if I could push 200k on this car.
