People selling after short ownership.

[twiggy]

I've noticed a few on here are already selling their cars after only owning them for around 6 months, seems very sad after having to wait almost a year, am I missing something.

[MENTION=21573]twiggy[/MENTION] maybe down to their own financial situations, other priorities etc. Doubt it's down to the car as looking at [MENTION=13855]mattus[/MENTION] selling his - he'd modded it! Etc.
Never know what unfortunate circumstances life may bring or put you in and what not!

Mine was from a cancelled order, 6 weeks before delivery. I've always wondered what they got instead lol

For me, I like to change cars regularly.
The Mustang is going to be an expensive daily driver to run for me when it comes at the end of this month.
As a result, I only intend to keep it for 12 months or so. I'll drive it until I get my fill (based on past experience that's how long it takes me to get bored) and then change to whatever floats my boat next.
I've always wanted a Mustang, but I'm sure once I've had it a while the novelty will wear off like it does with all my other cars.
I'm sure there's plenty of other serial car changers with the same mindset.

It's funny as I always planned on keeping mine for life but just resent I've started to back track on that idea, not really sure why, I think a lot of the enjoyment was the wait (can't believe I said that) and now it's here it's well.....what do I do now, half the problem is the weather as I don't take it out in the rain, then I start thinking it's all a bit of a waste.

I'll probably keep mine until I kill it or it kills me

Pretty much sums it up for me as well :eyebulge:

Mod it.

Thats what Mustangs are made for.

Bored with 430bhp? Give it 700

Bored with the exhaust, change it etc.

The list is endless, its the biggest + point for me.

I know ill start to get restless after 12m, so ill just change something major on the car and then ill be happy again.

I'm keeping mine because I think it will be one of the last manual n/a v8's ever made. It's old fashioned when it is built and that's what I like about it. The are folks out there who want the latest and greatest tech on offer and therefore they will quickly grow bored of the stang and hanker for the next car.
The long waiting list gave many people the chance to decide on something else while they waited so they may have also got something else on order and be keeping their stang a as stop gaps until the next bmw gets delivered. Not to mention the waiting list speculators!!

Same here..... I can't think of anything I'd want instead, especially at the sub £40k price point...

I still have a small hankering for a Jag XKRR (the 550bhp one) but then I look at the price, and the feeling subsides;)

Not as expensive as the depreciation after 12 months

Well, can we just make sure everyone selling doesn't drop depreciation like a sack of shit, lets be honest, a markets controlled by the seller for first/second year depreciations. If everything is pretty much the same not gonna drag it down too much :rant::headbonk:

I am a serial car swapper but this time I really want to keep it. Not because its the best or because its something unique.

Its because its my first ever brand new car. Its got None listed under previous owners. Never had that before and its a big deal to me.

Hopefully life circumstances lets me buy a new car in a couple of years and I can have this as my baby to only bring out for fun on dry days. Until then I fully intend to drive it like I stole it!!!!!

If you mean XKRS it's awesome
I'm in a real dilemma now absolutely love my Mustang and the Jag hardly gets used, but when I drive it it's wow :eyebulge:. Looks classy to me any way.
Rare as well. Do I keep it :doh:

Interesting to see the only other car mentioned in this thread is a Jag xkr. I was split over a used xkr or a new mustang (first new car ever for me) too. The jag only lost due to unusable rear seats.
