The deal is done, and my baby is gone...

Well, in short, cause of a number of issues that couldn't be resolved...my car is at the dealership. I was kind of "tears" (was about to shed one, but I held back) when the GM drove my car away on a test drive.

Never-the-less, this won't be the last mustang I will own, nor will it be the last sports car. I am saving for a nice down payment on a 20XX Mustang. Just with everything happening these days, I hope this savings doesn't get used for something else :/

Thank you everyone for your help and expertise. I will still be around commenting and reading, and I hope to join the Mustang group once again

PS: Some OE parts that I still have will be for sale in the FS section.

Wow sucks to see that car go. You had done quite a few mods. Good luck with everything.

You put your child up for adoption? Shame!

Certain situations will come and go, but some warrant actions we normally wouldn't do. You will get yourself straightened out and when the time is right, you'll own a mustang again.

I don't know the background behind this story, but if the issues were serious enough to turn the vehicle in, how can the dealer justify reselling it for 28k+?

I don't see how the dealer could justify reselling it for that much either. You can go on eBay and see brand new 2010 GTs going for $24K!

Shame you had to let it go, I'd be heartbroken. Only paid 22,400 for my 05 in Jan 07 with 1022 miles on it, had never been sold. Can't believe how much they are asking for yours, hope thay treated you well. But, as you know, there are plenty of Mustangs out there and they're still making more. Hope things turn around for you soon and you get another one.
