Got a decision to make here. I may be selling the '15 GT for an SUV, probably an Explorer. We have a '05 Ram diesel pickup with 120k on it, my '05 blown/stroked Mustang GT with 21k on it and my '15 GT premium with 8200 miles on it. I have to keep the pickup for obvious reasons, hauling, towing etc. I'd lose my ass on the '05 if I sold it as I dropped serious clams in that car. I probably wouldn't ever sell it anyway.
Anyway, the wife asked if I would consider selling the '15 GT for an SUV because it really would make sense. We have 3 grandkids now, the wife can't drive a standard shift (my Mustangs). The problem is, my '15 is such a pleasure to drive, never gets old. It's seriously under powered compared to my '05 which is the only down side. The only mods are H-pipe, GT500 mufflers, lowered 1'', Custom Car Grills perforated metal upper and lower grill and wheel spacers.
I ordered the '15 new nearly 3 years ago. The car is a premium magnetic 401a package. The only other option was 19'' dark stainless wheels. It's been a perfect car, no noises, shifts perfectly, a/c has been great and I really cannot think of any complaints at all. What can I expect to realistically to get for it being a perfect condition, garage kept car with not even any paint chips? It literally is in showroom condition. I would get it inspected and sell it myself without doing a trade in.
I haven't decided to do this yet, I'm pretty much considering doing it because my wife asked me to consider it. It does make sense, but I would seriously miss the car because it's probably the most satisfying car I've ever had, but under powered compared to the beast sitting next to it which is not nearly as refined as the '15. The '05 is not only blown/stroked, but has stage 2 cams and wreaks of raw fuel sitting at red lights. It's a serious business fast car and I drive it a lot less having the '15 GT here.
