Trading in barely used mustang

[ScottsGT]

As someone that has had disc surgery, take care of the real issue. Your back.

I now drive a stick shift and enjoy the hell out of it. Don't dick around with ignoring these back issues. The nerve is getting permanent damage with the herniation sitting against it.
I had a double laminectomy 17 years ago (L1&L2 and L3&L4) and life has been great since then. I do have some issues of spinal stenosis (scar tissue build up) that causes me issues on occasion, but usually Motrin takes care of it.

Trade privately with someone who bought an auto but wants a manual?

This.

Invest in a inversion table. Made a world of a difference for my back, I got 2 bulge discs.

Seeking advice for my current situation. I've been recently diagnosed with herniated disk, so every time i drive my mustang "manual" for more than 30 mins i am in constant pain. The car is barely 5 months old and looking to replace with an automatic mustang. I know i am going to lose money, but what would be the best route? Is it better to trade in now or wait a couple months?

Get surgery like others have said on here. It's probably a budging disc that can be fixed pretty easily...my buddy just had it done a few months ago...literally all it was was a 1" incision and like 45 min surgery to shave the disc, push back in place...laid up 1 day...by day 5 felt right as rain. Said he wishes he did it 5 years ago.

All good advice so far.
I would try to arrange for a long test drive in an automatic. If that also gives you pain, then it may be just the car/seat/position that won't change regardless of the transmission. :(

Just a bit of useless information, however, your car in the current Australian market for Mustangs would get you conservatively $10,000 to $15,000 more than you paid for it.

Listen to these guys and get your back fixed. And selling your Mustang ain't gonna fix your back.
