Well, not 100%.

Its a battle between me, my wife and money. If I can get around it financially, which pleases the wife - then it a win. Otherwise, if I can't then I would hear it everyday about this and that. I am still working it out with the wife and I hope to have some type of resolution soon. In the mean time, to help please the lioness, I have to do something.

 

Is it possible to pick up and extra job or even an odd job to help pay off your Mustang?

 

Not to get on your case.. but your wife should understand your hobbies and let you enjoy what you like. When money is tight, it makes things worse, but what is she giving up? Does she know this will break your heart to let your baby go? Giving each other crap is not a way to get problems solved. If there is a will, there is a way.

Just remember "you're just the best I ever had" if in the end you have to let it go.

 

Anything is possible, but it would be difficult since I work a full-time job as it is, and usually put in 50+ hours a week as a minimum. I was going to do a clerk of some kind on the weekends, but every place almost wanted more than 2 days.

 

wow, i can really relate to this right now. i pay a fat chunk of car payments. shelby gt and svt lightning. BUT the one thing that is saving myself right now is even though i am getting married in april in Aruba, in july i have orders to Cuba. after marriage i may refinance to lower the payments for a comfortable life with her. i thought about this for a while too, selling both for a SRT8 grand cherokee, (family car thats fun) but this thread did hit close to home and i too have appreciated the imput.

 

i would suggest paying a little extra on ur loan payment every month. I bought my 07gt brand new and my payment was 5 something but i pay 600 a month and it will be completely mine in june of this year. Plus i save the money to do a mod here and there. Hopefully u can keep it and ur wife will except but my dad always said if momma aint happy, nobody's happy. trust me though my dad has thrown some wrinkles in there to keep her thinking. they have been married for 35 years and have always found a way to let each other have the things that they have always wanted. if u cant do that then ur left with regrets. gl man hope u can keep her

 

You might be ok with getting rid of it right now, but 6-12 months from now(or earlier) it will hit you and you'll be saying "What the F**k did I do?" With all of the time and money you put into that, you'll never be able to break even or make a profit. Been there Buddy(more than once).

 

Right on!
What is she giving up?
Sell half of her jewelry and your payments will be cut by half most likely.

 

Keep it....you are compounding your money loss by selling now. You spent all that money on mods...supercharger included. Now, by selling it, you are basically giving away all that money you spent to get it to what it is now and where you wanted it.


I'm in a different boat but slightly same situation. I'm trying to decide to hop over to a GT500 and have to remod all over again OR just supercharge and keep mine and be 98% done considering all the other stuff I've done in the last three years. It seems silly to just sell the GT and start over....but lord knows 'shelby' is a compelling word, especially when attached to a car name.

With all the money you've spent, it'd be much smarter money wise to avoid 'dumping' it.

Good luck though. Hope it works out how you want.

I agree, Keep it or you will never get it again. We bought a house about 2 years ago, I planned on a stang since 2005 when new body came out. I had a 95 and 99.

I work around the payments, wedding plans for the summer are expensive and kids will come soon, but the stang will stay. I plan to be the cool dad dropping the little ones off at school !!
