Default So Long my Fellow MF'ers :(

It was a bitter-sweet day yesterday as I traded in my 2006 Mustang GT for a brand new 2013 Ford Focus SE hatchback. The time had come for me to make the switch and I wanted to do it before it was too late. My mustang was quickly approaching 100k miles and it still had equity. I got a really great deal on the focus with an awesome APR so I had to jump on this opportunity. I took really good care of the stang and I'm truly gonna miss her. Someone is gonna be getting an amazingly powerful machine. I hope they love it as much as I did.

I just wanted to say thank you to everyone in the forums for being so awesome. I can guarantee you all that I'll be back because the 2006 Mustang GT wont be my last Mustang.

I thought for a long time that I'd buy a Focus Titanium hatchback, and I'm sure I would have been happy with one. In the unlikely event the 2014 has an AWD option I might still get one as my winter car, but it's looking like a used Volvo or Subaru will serve that purpose.

The Focus is a nice car. Enjoy your new ride.

At least you kept it in the family! The Focus is a good looking car, enjoy it!

If you don't mind me asking - what'd they give you for your Stang?

You'll enjoy the Focus, they drive very nice and sip the gas, which with the way prices have gone is a plus.

Not bad considering the mileage.

So, after about a month without my mustang I was curious as to where it was shipped off to or if it was sold already. For a few weeks I was searching dealerships online trying to find the old girl. Guess what? I found it! About 500 miles north of me in a city in Central California called Chico, CA. Looks like they're selling it for $4,500 over what I sold it for. Here's a link if anybody want to buy her.
