Good afternoon all!
Have you ever sold a car and regretted it? I have been thinking about selling my ol' 96 Mustang GT. It was my high school car I have had for a LONG time. I have had a lot of memories fun times in the car. At this point all my friends have changed cars like 30 times, but I still got my original car that I have put some work into.
Its a 96 Mustang GT which I know is the bastard child of the mustang world (which I like).
This is the build of the car.
Mods: 2004 Mustang GT motor (5k when installed)
Long tubes
mid pipe
flowmaster catback
Steeda Tri Ax short throw
Weld in sub frame connectors
Upper and lower control arms
Tubular k member
Battery relocation
255 lph hp fuel pump
42 lb injectors
SCT chip
SCT maf
Procharger P1SC on 10 lbs with 3 core intercooler
Raptor shift light
FR500 steering wheel
4.10 gears with speedcal for speedometer
Steeda bump steer kit
Mach 1 brake kit 14” up front
Maximum Motorsports 4 bolt caster camber plates
HID head lights and fog lights
Saleen s281 wing
Cobra front bumper
Cobra hood
Boost gauge/AF gauge
New NITTO 555r's with probably less than 500 miles.
25% tint
Oh and I had the whole car repainted which was 3k and took 8 months so the paint looks like glass in person. I didnt have it painted because of an accident but because of the faded paint these things have.
I kind of want to keep the car but also at this point it is a paper weight, I never drive it. Some of my friends say dont sell I will regret some say "you dont drive it get ride of it".
Kind of torn.
One thought I had was list it for something high and if it sold for that I would have a smile on my face.
So I listed it for 12k and thought to myself I would be FIRM. Well I dont know HOW but a friend saw the ad on facebook (I had the hide from friends selected on the ad) and he started messaging me saying he would give me 10k today. (which honestly I have turned down 10k from strangers). My friend is jumping around ready to run to the bank and give me 10k for it and I told him I MIGHT do it but am SUPER torn.
The thought I have is if I had something like a 6 speed S550 which in my opinion is better all around I would be comfortable letting it go. Also with my car I have never been a fan of the saddle interior which I bought all new interior to swap it to black.
Another thought is could I replace this car for 10k? Like if I was in the market could I get another one comparable for 10k?
Also I know if I keep it I will want to continue putting money into it I will probably never even close get back. I have a built motor for it on a stand, MMR900. I was going to put this motor in it and go turbo but this will be alot more $$$ for the turbo kit, retune, injectors, fuel system, etc.

Any advice is appreciated?
