Traded my GT in. Thanks for everything 6G

[Sammzway]

Well guys and gals, my baby was traded in. A few things I would like to say regarding this whole process then i'll say my thank yous and then i'll become a spectator lol.

I was extremely surprised at how well these 6th gen Mustangs hold their values. My 2015 GT base with 3500 miles was bought out by a dealer for $28500. Yes I could have milked another few thousands from private party but a) I had a loan of $28k left on it and b) I hate dealing with craigslist low ballers. I technically made $500 out of this whole deal lol. My car went to Lehigh Acura in PA. If anyone is interested on buying, you'd get hell of a gem because I left the PP wheels with DWS that only has 400 miles on. They're going to put it up on a ramp and showcase it in a few days based on what the manager said. For those of you that are looking to trade your GT, seems like now is the time.

Also, this site has educated me immensely on Mustangs and more importantly wrenching a lot of the mods, aka DIY projects. I had the car for a little short of a year and enjoyed it thoroughly. She served me very well and made my weekends a lot of fun. My first ownership of an actual American muscle and I do plan on returning to the muscle world in a few years.

You guys rock!

^^ Also wondering what you traded it in for.. I just purchased a 2016 Ruby Red GT PP Premium.. Fully loaded for $45,000 in May and the dealer wont even give me $31,000 for it now.. car only has 500 miles on it...hmm..

A family wagon. Wife and I are expecting a 2nd child. Must provide the safe and comfortable traveling to the wife and kids.

2016 MDX SH-AWD. No idea why the pics are sideways. They're straight in my computer.

I would recommend you find a dealer who's willing to honor KBB Instant Cash Offer. What I did was I priced the new vehicle through them first and got them down to what I wanted to pay, then told them i'm trading in the Mustang and only if they honored KBBICO. Worked like a charm.

Sounds like you worked a fair deal. I've used the Instant Cash offer on a previous vehicle sale and it was a much easier way of handling the trade in process.

The new family wagon looks nice!

I have had a few Acuras over the years, 2004 MDX, 2003 TL Type S and a 2015 TLX. Great family cars, good picks. I really love the new MDX's.

Wait you just bought it in May and now want to get rid of it? Why? Buyers remorse or car didn't live up to expectations?

Said nobody ever.....:lol:

 

[jasonstang]

The back seats of the mustang should fit the new born anyway.

Just because it can, doesn't mean people want it to.

I have also had good luck with mustang trade in values.

Are you and your wife sharing one car?

Mife wife and I have a Murano for the family truckster (her primary vehicle) that we take when we all have to travel together.
My mustang is plenty safe for in the event I need to take my car with both kids in the back. I have my cake and eat it too
