Default A sad day for me

For personal reasons I had to sell my stang today

I had about $10k in mod's and it was a 2010 GT Premium. Damn am I gonna miss that car!!

It had 37K miles on it, the check engine light was on(the infamous P0340) and got $21K for it. Thanks for all the help that many provided while I had the Car.

The P0340 is usually the alternator, so not that big of a deal. Sorry you had to get rid of it though. A supercharged 2010 for $21k, I'd say they got a pretty good deal.

Why won't my alternator die! Maybe because the whipple kit moves it under the water crossover.

Mine is paid off, things are always rough on my job. I want to buy another car one day. I used to have an 06 v6 and thought the GT would make my life spectacular. (this is since I was getting all those hesitation on acceleration issues and I wasn't sure about the longevity of the engine due to the inconsistencies of trying to jam up onramps and such and having the thing lag like crazy). Although the GT manual doesn't do that stuff, I guess I should have kept the v6 auto. I was going to swap out the bumpers on it and put on an x-pipe. Modding was interesting to me when I had that car and I hadn't done much to it yet.

I'm wondering what the 2015 body style will look like but realistically I can't do this again. There's so many choices out there waiting to be picked from. I like so many different manufacturers of cars including ones that a lot of people on this forum probably have gripes about.

Purchasing these cars was a PITA for me. I had to complain to the manufacturer numerous occasions about it.

Just make sure when you have the cash you know exactly what you want, that is the best advice I can give anyone. Plus make sure you aren't pushed into anything like I was.
