I'll be keeping mine for 1.5-3 years. By then I'll be walking with a degree and if I get the caliber of job I want, I'll be trading her in for a '11 or '12 5.0. I sincerely love this car and it pains me after each little dent or scratch I discover on her, but I just want more power, and from the specs, the new 5.0 gets just as good fuel consumption as my '07 v6.

I'll take as many parts off of her as possible before the trade in, but it's not looking like that'll be much. At least I can rest easy knowing the next owner will be getting a good daily driver that was thoroughly taken care of.

Keeping mine till the end. I refuse to be one of those guys that say "I used to have one of those, wish I still had it."

i'm not the sentimental sort. i mod because its a hobby and dont think much about the worth down the road. i will trade this car in when the 14 comes out with the new platform unless it sucks, then who knows. fifth mustang here and so far the only one i really miss was my 87 lx 5.0. the fox's are what i always wanted as a kid. honestly it might not even make it until 14 lol, that's a long time. car years are log dog years for me, i get bored and want something else.

Sentimental, no, but this is the first car I really wanted, not just had to settle for, including my previous 06 mustang gt.

It goes when it dies, i do, gas is keeping me below the poverty line, Joolander hates on MLP, or Jesus shows up to tell me to sell it.

OT, but why are you wanting to sell it if you don't mind me asking?
