Have you sold your mustang to help with a down payment on house? Or Remodel your home, kids college. For a positive outcome.

I’m up in the air about selling my coyote. It’s a 2014 5.0. 31k on it. I’m looking online and coyotes with 60k on are going for like $23k. I figured I can get some good money.

I’m having my first kid. My lady says we don’t have to. But if it could put us closer to buying a home then I just might....

Yep. Sold my 93 cobra in 2009 to buy my first house. Just recently sold that house and used the equity to get into a 800k house.

Thats tough. That’s a Cobra too. Mines just a premium 5.0. But it obviously all worked at the end for you.

Sell it, buy a house. There will always be a mustang to buy. In fact, after a year, you can buy one outright with equity.

It was tough cause I would always look at mustangs while I didn’t have one. The 93 was pretty nice vibrant red with black Interior and bbs rims with an s trim. But it definitely worked out. Sacrificing my mustang ended up with me walking away with over 250k when closing.

I agree with this. Unless you have some sentimental value with your car, you can just get another one.

all good, you have the fox, so sell the coyote. i had an older white guy (look just like joe biden, no joke) say to me while i was parking my fox, that the foxes are going up
in value and gave me a thumbs up. im saying this guy looked like a stock broker type, in his 60s. i never expected that to come out of his mouth. caught me off guard.

You talkin' about me?? LOL
I always wonder what people think about me having a foxbody being older than most owners. [Cool]
Well, frankly, I don't care, still LOVE it.

I have put my mustang on the back burner for years. But I'll never sell it. Got my 20% and bought a home last year. Have a two year old. Saving up to buy my first big rig now.

I did...sold my 98 cobra FALEEN and 03 GT to add cash in the bank when we purchased a home. All worked out in the end and a house was worth the sacrifice for sure. Few years later, saved some pennies and upgraded to a 13 Boss 302. Although, I do still miss the FALEEN...

Yes, this one was purchased to keep. It’s going to be handed down to my son and I already promised him that.

Yep, I think so lol. Now I’m a believer of just cover it up and forget about instead of selling it

if you are lucky enough to go in on a refi with lets say your grandparents house, then all you would have to come up with is closing costs and not no 20 percent down. its worth a shot if you have really elder grandparents that like you alot lol

and if youre really lucky, your grandparents will be under prop 13 tax assessment exclusion which can be passed on to a grandchild, if i recall.
