Hi all, I'm Dan and I currently own a sonic blue 2005 Ford Mustang GT. I'm the original owner, after saving up for a downpayment on it from the time I was 13. It got me through the end of high school, into college, and my first "real" job out of school in Harrisburg, PA. It's only at 98,000 miles at the moment, and I've kept great care of it, but every year at inspection more and more things need replaced or fixed.
I've had my eye on a new Fusion Sport since reading about them last year, and have been keeping a lookout for a blue one. I found one nearby yesterday, and with it being the end of the year, there's great incentives and financing that I qualified for. They gave me a great offer for the Mustang as a trade in. Now I just need to get over the "pain" of losing my Mustang and finalize it all. Have any of you had to do something similar?
I just feel like I've outgrown the Mustang and the obsession I had for them growing up, at least for the time being. I'm married now, no kids, yet. If I had space at my house, I'd consider keeping it and getting the FSS as well. But with the offer they gave me on the trade in, it's kind of hard to resist keeping money for a downpayment in the bank. I know the smart thing to do would be to trade it in, and maybe 10 years from now I can get a 2027 Mustang
I'm considering the FSS because I think it's a good transition type of car out of the Mustang. It's fast, but it's also practical. More than 2 people can ride in it. The AWD will help me in the PA winters. And my 05 Mustang feels like it's from a century ago with none of today's tech in it.
Anyway, I've read through some posts here and have an idea towards feelings on the FSS. Looking forward to chatting if I go through with it! It's just hard giving up my "first" car that has so many memories!
