As an acura owner I have to ask have you looked at a 2008 "brand new" Acura TL type S.. If we didn't need our 2007 MDX for my wife's soccer mom duty's I'd have one parked in my driveway.

And a brand spankin new Infiniti G is less than all of them and is a heck of a car. But, this is Mustang Forums. if you are looking to get into another car then trade yours. To be frank, it will be the quickest path.

Based upon your initial investment (purchase of the car) and then the mods that were installed by a 3rd party,not yourself, one is lead to believe that you have money to burn or everything was given to you. If you have money to burn, then just trade the stang. This conversation isn't really about mods and what should you do; it's a fiscal discussion that must be had. Do you owe anything on the car? If so, is it more than it's worth (upside down)

If so, do you have the cash to bring to the table to pay the difference?

Again, if cash isn't an issue, then who cares what we all think, trade it and get your luxury status car and move forward with life.

Only you know for sure

If you price your car even $2k more than a stock car of the same year/miles, no one will even call on your car. I'm not telling you to return it to stock, but don't expect to get anything for your mods.

I'm sure that was so years ago but customer service goes a long ways with me.. The acura joint here has a starbucks inside along with a 25 chair (lazy boy) state of the art movie theater.. They ask you call ahead if you need a courtesy car and you're given a concierge to deal with instead of a service rep.. At least try to drive one.. 285 hp 6 cyl aint a slouch but what do I know..

damn man this sucks lol. i paid 18k for my 03 after tax. on selling your car, i would probably do what theyre saying and keep it. you already have alot invested in it and you'll take a huge hit selling it. besides, muscle cars arent gunna be around forever so smoke em' if you got em!
