now the real question is... ofcourse if you dont mind saying
... how hard was it accepting the trade value?? well i am sure there is a crapload of people looking for a barely broken in 13-gt500

Sold it for exactly what I paid for it. Lost about $500 in taxes. I should have done a in/out from dealer

how'd you lose only 500 in taxes if you traded it for exactly what you paid for? ttl on a '13 shelby would be a lot more than 500.
thats what really sux about dealing with cars....the tax man gets fat every time. then add in the ttl on the explorer. :cryying:

I'd have kept the Shelby, found a less bulky child seat (you'll wish you'd gotten something with a removable seat/base setup, trust me), and gotten over the HID kick and picked up a less expensive family ride.
To each their own.

I paid about $1000.00 (not my payment it was 850.00) a month for 4 months. Taxes were $4300.00. So my payments covered almost all the taxes.

Oh man that sucks your wife decides what you drive. I don't understand when shit like that happens to some men. Ya should have just kept your car and bought her an explorer! Felt selfish?? WTF? How could you feel selfish for getting her a car?
There is always time for another toy, I had to get rid of my toys twice because of my children and it's 1000% worth it.
That was a very nice Shelby, but family comes FIRST. To the guy with an Explorer Sport, how quick is it? What kind of mpg's are you getting? Can it tow any decent weight? Just curious as I'm thinking about an upgrade from my V6 Venza - Thanks.
OP, congrats on the upcoming birth.... Life's about to get a whole lot more exciting & I mean that in a great way! :beer:

LoL. I bought her a BMW a couple years ago. This was more for me I guess

If my wife told me what i could or could not drive, i'd be a pissed off individual. No way i'd ever be able to have a car like a gt500 for a few months then drive a boat of a suv LOL.
Ditto to that. A lot of unselfishness there! I give him a ton of credit. He WILL be rewarded for that down the road. :rockon:
I can tell you from personal experience that you can definitely enjoy a vehicle like that after selling a HP car. I had to sell my '03 Cobra and bought an '02 Infinity QX4 (SUV). I loved it. Comfortable. A lot of utility. Rode great. I missed my Cobra at times but getting into a nice comfy vehicle that met our needs definitely eased the pain.
I may be crazy, but i never once said anything about her making me buy this thing. I wanted it. Seemed like the right thing to do. I will own another cool car in the next couple years.
Should have sold the kid and used it on upgrades.
cannot wait to try it. My wife has a hard time parking her little 3 series. cannot imagine putting this thing in anything other than a space straight on..
I am stoked. will be getting the windows done and calling it a day
:nonono:
You should have kept it, it's really not selfish unless it would strain you financially. Trust me the exhaust puts them to sleep and when they are two and above they will love to hear the car start up cruise under bridges etc. These cars are really important when the little ones are not so little and they can remember the cobra cranking up. Congratulations on the baby!
LOL. I remember the dual car seats in the back of my '92 GT convertible. Two kids in a Neon ACR in car seats as well. Two kids, now teenagers, still fit in a Mustang. There is no need to get an SUV for one kid. But, hey...gotta do what you gotta do.
