Default my 98 v6 mustang is like my old Golden Retriever, a Blessing I don't deserve

for those who havn't been following my shennanigans, i have been trying to get a camaro for a few months now, and my head was dumb as i was willing to trade my 98 mustang for 89, 92, and all kinds of camaros, and all of them were in very crappy condition.

I finally found a 95 t-top that was in half decent condition, however the ac didnt work and it had bunch of hidden problems, which I soon discovered.

long story short, i had to replace battery, altenator, fuel pump, sparks, within the first few days i had it. did i mention AC didn't work which i am a ***** without. then day 6ish came and bunch of more problems that i don't even want to discuss :S

long story short, I was able to trade my mustang back with minimal damages, and am very happy....u never know what u got til its gone. I'm sorry for letting you go girl,

also wanted to add, i have owned 2 mustangs in my life, both instances, they were the first mustang i looked at and bought em on the spot and got no problems.

owned a honda civic which they say never die, and had tons of problems

and camaros i also looked for one in highschool and had to go through a bunch to find a good one.

also owned a ford tuaras SHO in highschool - boy that thing was fast O.o (and reliable)

That's what happens when you try to equal trade a V6 for a V8. You're going to wind up with someone else's problem 100% of the time.

I hope you learned your lesson and know next time to take our advice and sell your car straight up and use that cash, plus some you've saved to buy what you want without the problems.

Don't mean to sound mean, but that's asking for it.
