So long Mustang

[Martman GT]

Thanks, I am really loving this color it get a lot of compliments.
I got $32,000 for the Tomato she was a 15 GT premium with the premium interior and navigation, I only had 9700 miles on her though. Plus its my brothers dealership :ford: (he is a sales manager). I agree with Scott watch out for leasing. We did that for the wife's car because she drives very little, just work and the store.

Thanks for the info. Leasing works well for me because I'm retired (due to said knee issue and drivers license is daylight hours only). I've had the car for just over 13 months, and it's only got 5868 miles on it. I was leasing a 2014 Edge Limited, and only got rid of it because the wife wanted me to get the GT for our anniversary. We (at that time) had decided not to purchase a home, but just rent. Well, landlord upped the rent and wanted us to sign another lease so we just decided to buy a new house. I 100% financed the GT including T&L so payment is $654 a month, but I pay $700. If I lower the payment by $200, I make up for the difference in rent. I'm only about 18 months away from Social Security, so house payment will be a no brainer and I can get another GT if I want to. I can still afford the GT, but coming down a couple hundred a month on budget puts me back in my comfort zone.

When I did a KBB trade-in value it put my car at $29xxx. I thought this was a bit low, but wasn't sure.

OP your knee must be really bad. I found the stock GT clutch is pretty light compared to other MTs I've had. I also have a bad back from unloading battery and tire trucks when I was younger. So it flares up sometimes if I sit on the clutch too long, I can recline the seat a little and it really helps.

There's this section of highway I have to go through in the afternoons that is stop and go for about 20 minutes. I've found I can put the car in second and it will service between 2 to 15 mph which more or less keeps me in the flow of traffic if I leave a little distance to the car in front of me.

Yes it is My knee replacement is about 10 years old now and the prosthetic knee cap that they attach to the original keeps maligning so it was painful to try and walk after long drives in the car. I unfortunately have a lot of "pointers" not drivers around me that made for a lot of shifting. The three herniated discs in my back just made getting in and out of the car painful as well. The bad part is the seats in the Mustang were some of the best I have ever sat in.
