you see its funny,,,,if i were to go out right now and look for a stang and came up on a modded one, you start thinking about who had it last, what type of person they are, did they just rag the car out the whole time or whatever...in this case, i think u need to kind of have an idea of the last owners personality to see if u are getting a well kept vehicle or something thats about to croak on you as soon as u get it...

if you trade it in, the dealer will give you less for your car and end up taking everytihng off of the car pretty much to make it as close to stock as possible....you have to wait for the right buyer to come along, one who KNOWS our cars and the mods available for them , what to look for in the car, and so on....

if i bought a modded stang, it would be from someone i know...

Lord.... I was really thinking of selling/trading my car for either an 09' Stang (waiting for Nov. when they take the wraps off) or a 10' camaro but now I'm digressing.

I only owe $8k on my car so I know I can get something out of but all the money I've put into her disturbs me. I'm about to throw another $5k into suspension. lol!

Once the 09's are unveiled along with the new camaro... that's what scares me. Should I sell now or wait until my S197 is a useless "stop-gap" car like the new edge (cobra notwithstanding)??
