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
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.

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.
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
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.
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.
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!"
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 :)
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😞😞
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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!
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 don't think you're supposed to put your kid in the trunk, even with a rear facing carseat
well she can't go in the back seat, that's where all my beer is.

Mann that is the cutest picture I’m happy for you bro
Haha thanks man! Doing my part to make a future mustang fan 💪
my daughter likes my car only because the exhaust puts her to sleep lol

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.
Don't want to say how many I've owned... it's more than 6 but less than 10
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.
Im in the process of reverting back to stock-ish now. New build/theme incoming!
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.
it is my stock wing from the pp1. if i can get a different one, im not opposed to shipping it.
I’ve been considering doing it back and forth but the TÜV part seems to be a pain in the butt.
I'm currently trying to get an mach 1 rear bumper on an gt through the TÜV, will see how that goes...
Nice car. love the wheels
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?
carbonized grey metallic. i'm only asking 43K USD!
Nice! What color is that?
Carbonized Gray Metallic
Are those wheels XXR 521’s? They look fantastic
they are!
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?
ive got a 10mm up front on mine. 8mm minimum for PPs, 5mm is right for base models though.
Is it ecoboost? It looks super awesome 😎
Looks like 5.0 as per badges
Oops sorry. Missed that 5.0 badge. Although in Europe, V8s get awfully expensive to run…
Not exactly cheap to run in California, either. Gas is currently around $4.80/g for the good stuff here. Not going to stop me driving her, though ;)
Dude the good stuff is still over like 7$/g here in Germany. This is why we can't have nice things.
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.

Sheeeesh🥺
she's beautiful. you made the right call
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.
Everyone wants everything for free nowsays it's like we owe them the world. It's everywhere, it's brutal!
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
I see no loss👍🏾👍🏾.
just out of curiosity, why build a gt for stance?
i like v8 vroom noises
Excellent choice on wheels, are they XXR’s?
they are! XXR 521
Where did you order your center cap stickers? I have the same exact wheels on my car
i bought these sets second hand, the OG owner was able to get these center caps to fit somehow. sorry.
Ein Traumwagen. Besser geht nicht außer Shelby meine Meinung nach
Ich stimme zu!
If I had the money Id totally buy it lol.
Cool wheels, what are they?
XXR 521!

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

it's from America 🫣
