Well..Not going to have mustang much longer

**VaderGT** · 02-06-2012, 06:56 PM

I placed an order today for a new Subaru STi sedan in dark gray metallic. I really really like my mustang but now I am in a relationship with 2 kids..i need something that is practical that i can drive year round and get the kids in if need be and still be fun..the mustang didnt fit the bill for winter or the kids really and my beater car cavalier is not very good either. So I am going to be trading the car in once my order comes in..so guess my last 8-12 weeks with it

Just curious how much are you getting on the trade in? Your car is very nice I bet you could sell it for a decent amount. I do love the new sti's and even the wrx. I loved my 2002 wrx. My lease is up soon and its too much to have a nice stang and a nice dd for winter! I am considering a 2011 wrx.

23,000 I am happy with that amount..I dont know if I could get much more then that due to the 5.0

**89stang** · 02-06-2012, 07:11 PM

Wow that is a good deal!

**sutyak** · 02-06-2012, 09:06 PM

Sounds like a good trade!

Happens to everybody man! Sounds like they're giving you a nice amount for your car. STI's are hard to beat for an all around ride. Good luck.

**VaderGT** · 02-06-2012, 09:41 PM

my GF is also buying a regular Impreza hatch..She is kinda bummed..she didnt want me to do this for looks..she thinks the mustang is much sexier but she likes the idea that it can be used if need be to take kids in.

Wait a minute....your doing this for a girlfriend? Really? Your kids? A ring on her finger?

**VaderGT** · 02-06-2012, 10:03 PM

LOL no not at all...I have been looking to replace my cavalier and I just cant afford both new car payments..so to me this is my way of getting a car that can go in anything and still be fun

Some people are like that. Sold my paid off '06 Silverado to help my gf pay down her '10 Escape. Refinanced it also. Dropped the payment $200. Money issues can be a stickler in relationships.......

She is the mother of your daughter. If my girlfriend wanted me to sale something to contribute more to the household....well....it would be her cause money was fine till she came along. Or she can get a better job. Now...if it were my kids, different story.

has nothing to do with her..I made the decision totally for me. If I never would have even went to a Subaru dealer with her to look at an impreza i would have never saw the STi and probably wouldnt be getting rid of the mustang..It just really caught my eye and I want it..so I bought it..Not sure why i am justifying my purchase though on a forum

Bacause people think they have to air everything on the web nowadays and when you do, nebby folks are going to ask questions and you feel the need to defend whatever you aired out.

Nice upgrade.

My girlfriend just picked up a 2012 Subaru Impreza Sport Hatch this past Friday. We looked everywhere for one and there were none sitting on the lots in western Pa. So far we/she has put almost 400 miles on it and first impressions of it are great. When we went to the dealership to look, they had an STI in the showroom as well... Had me thinking about trading in my TBSS on it... they are definitely nice vehicles. Goodluck with it!
