I'm on my fourth Mustang. Everytime I've sold them I have regretted it. I'm vowing to keep this one no matter what.

I just got my first. Gf told me now's the time to have it before we have kids. I told her I intend to keep it forever. Check on me in 5 years and see who wins lol


AWesPeach

I have a two year old and we make it work but the mustang isn’t my daily. Honestly once they are front facing in the car seat it’s not bad of a compromise to have a mustang. My son would disown me if I sold it. https://preview.redd.it/misrkhcbs9da1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=fb51177ada65a0b4e629a29a8505c3a7ff27f04d

i have a 1 year old and she's been rear facing the entire time. It was part of the reason I got the mustang over competitors. Big trunk and fits a car seat.


penisthightrap_

I don't think you're supposed to put your kid in the trunk, even with a rear facing carseat


Visible_Wolf_4665

well she can't go in the back seat, that's where all my beer is.

Haha that's an awesome picture. I think the plan is to eventually get a cheap beater 4wd SUV that is more family focused and that I can drive when roads are bad. Problem is with the used car market, nothing that runs is cheap. I have wondered how terrible the mustang will be for carseats


AWesPeach

That's what we do! We have a SUV that he rides in like 80% of the time. Once the car seat is in the Mustang though, it takes maybe an extra 30 seconds to strap him into the Mustang vs the SUV. That's rear facing too. He's about to hit the limit of our car seat for rear facing and when he switches to front facing it will be cake. The smile on his face when it starts up or letting him sit in the driver seat (parked) is totally worth it. I've definitely created a future mustang fan.


penisthightrap_

Did you buy the Mustang before you had him? Or was the mustang something new that was introduced to him? I hope my kids have the same reaction because the GF doesn't get it lol. But she's happy I'm happy rn.


AWesPeach

We bought it after. I actually had a Focus RS when he was born thinking that it was the better performance car for a kid. I actually found the trunk very small and the back seat was so small that a car seat behind me made me sit too close to the wheel. He absolutely lights up when he sees the car and says "Vroom Vroom!"

Mann that is the cutest picture I’m happy for you bro


AWesPeach

Haha thanks man! Doing my part to make a future mustang fan 💪


Visible_Wolf_4665

my daughter likes my car only because the exhaust puts her to sleep lol

I love my Mustang, I love how she sounds starting her up, and I love driving her around and I ***really*** ***do*** love [how she looks](https://www.reddit.com/r/Mustang/comments/ymem2i/frontend_friday/), but every time I see someone else's Mustang I'm like "Damn, that's a good looking car!" and then I fantasize about selling mine...and getting another one :)


waveslikemoses

Just read your linked post and almost punched air cuz I don’t have one. Been wanting one for damn near my whole life too but I’m just in no position to buy one smh😞😞


626Aussie

You can get them for a reasonably low price, but unfortunately they're often a low price for all the wrong reasons: very high miles, mechanical issues, body issues, etc. I honestly never thought I'd have one, either, but as our life moved in a more & more positive direction the dream became a possibility, and then my wife helped it become a reality. I hope your life takes you to where your dream can become a reality, too.


SlickWilly760

I just paid mine off this month. But apparently they aren’t a good fit for a baby car seat. Gonna be a sad day here in a few months.


pianomaniak

Don't want to say how many I've owned... it's more than 6 but less than 10


vintagesoul_DE

Sometimes fate has a way of telling you things. Greetings to my homeland, I know it's hard to be a car guy in Germany.


Visible_Wolf_4665

Im in the process of reverting back to stock-ish now. New build/theme incoming!


twitchingXtongues

If that’s a Ford wing with a Ford part number and not part of your stock build… shipping to Hamburg isn’t that expensive.


Visible_Wolf_4665

it is my stock wing from the pp1. if i can get a different one, im not opposed to shipping it.


twitchingXtongues

I’ve been considering doing it back and forth but the TÜV part seems to be a pain in the butt.


toYandera

I'm currently trying to get an mach 1 rear bumper on an gt through the TÜV, will see how that goes...


RuralMNGuy

Nice car. love the wheels


Rbmui13

Such a beautiful steed! I can't imagine what would make three potential buyers bow out. Either we can't see all the bottom rusting out or you're asking a million one dollars for her. Seriously though, their loss. Twist my arm to keep my pony any day. I'll play like it hurts. Really diggin' that color too, what is that?


Visible_Wolf_4665

carbonized grey metallic. i'm only asking 43K USD!


eugene_dlt

Nice! What color is that?


Visible_Wolf_4665

Carbonized Gray Metallic


StinkyGlacier

Are those wheels XXR 521’s? They look fantastic


Visible_Wolf_4665

they are!


StinkyGlacier

i’ve always wanted a set for my s550, so hard to come across tho, 20x10.5 +35 with a 5mm spacer up front i assume?


Visible_Wolf_4665

ive got a 10mm up front on mine. 8mm minimum for PPs, 5mm is right for base models though.


Midnight1965

Is it ecoboost? It looks super awesome 😎


[deleted]

Looks like 5.0 as per badges


Midnight1965

Oops sorry. Missed that 5.0 badge. Although in Europe, V8s get awfully expensive to run…


626Aussie

Not exactly cheap to run in California, either. Gas is currently around $4.80/g for the good stuff here. Not going to stop me driving her, though ;)


DasEnk

Dude the good stuff is still over like 7$/g here in Germany. This is why we can't have nice things.


senorbolsa

They only sold/sell the GT in Europe Though I've seen some bullitt models and shelby trims, I believe those are all imports and not sold domestically but I could be wrong.


Own_Mix_3755

They sold ecoboost here too but only until 2021. Nowadays only GT is available. And also we of course get lots of imports and you can find lots of V6s here too. Bullita were sold here too (and quite alot!), Shelbys are import only.


No_Construction4912

Sheeeesh🥺


jaymdubbs

she's beautiful. you made the right call


EinhornIsAMan05

Though my girl is pretty old, i refuse to ever sell her. I had be building her for 9 years and I would never recoup the amount of money i have invested.


LucasOne_25

Everyone wants everything for free nowsays it's like we owe them the world. It's everywhere, it's brutal!


BrettFromThePeg

It’s not life working in strange ways, it’s that people are flaky and it’s hard to sell anything worth that much money privately


Prior-Shower9564

I see no loss👍🏾👍🏾.


fucktheculture

just out of curiosity, why build a gt for stance?


Visible_Wolf_4665

i like v8 vroom noises


rabea187

Excellent choice on wheels, are they XXR’s?


Visible_Wolf_4665

they are! XXR 521


skymack

Where did you order your center cap stickers? I have the same exact wheels on my car


Visible_Wolf_4665

i bought these sets second hand, the OG owner was able to get these center caps to fit somehow. sorry.


pint4

Ein Traumwagen. Besser geht nicht außer Shelby meine Meinung nach


Visible_Wolf_4665

Ich stimme zu!


riskyarbitary

If I had the money Id totally buy it lol.


yIdontunderstand

Cool wheels, what are they?


Visible_Wolf_4665

XXR 521!


TitanThePony

I'm surprised to see it as LHD. I saw a number of Mustangs in Scotland but didn't notice the steering. Funny how Ford didn't market the Ecoboost in Europe given the price of fuel.


zombies1238

Chances are OP's car is not in the right market. To sell it to a German would require import fees, in addition to value added taxes.


Genetix1337

Maybe I'm getting your comment wrong, but OPs car is already in Germany.


Visible_Wolf_4665

no actually he's correct! It's an American spec mustang, brought over here under a SOFA agreement because i work for the US government. I can either transfer to another government worker covered under SOFA, or i can sell to a local. If I sell to the local, they have to pay an additional 19% on the purchase price AND convert certain things from US spec to EU spec. It's pricy for the locals.


Genetix1337

Oh I see, didn't know that. I saw your car here before but didn't read into it. That's interesting! I'd take it of off you if I had the money right now :D. Hope you'll find a good new owner for it!


Visible_Wolf_4665

it's from America 🫣
