Default Keep, sell, or trade?

I have a 2005 Mustang GT with 76,xxx miles. I drive it about 60 miles a day. I am starting to wonder if i should trade it in for something or keep driving it? I still owe 11k on it, but I wonder if it will last another 100k miles, and if it does, if it will be worth anything when that times comes. I am actually considering trading if for an econo-box, believe it or not.

I drive mine 100 miles a day, 4 days a week. Suck it up. Keep the maintenance up and it should last at least 150k. You can always drop in a new motor later. Maybe get that econo box when you pay off your stang. Then keep your stang and make it a weekend car.

a dealer will take you to the cleaners if you still owe 11K, they will probably only want to give you 9K or less....

Blasphemy! Get out the comfy couch, and soft cushions (Monty Python reference). Cash for clunkers is gone dude, you missed your window of opportunity. I wonder how many people sold their 65, 70, 72, thinking the same thing, and now they are kicking themselves.

I sold my 72 Mach 1 in 1982, I have my own boot prints all over my buttocks!
