For Sale

1999 35^th Anniversary Edition Ford Mustang!

4.6L V8. Power everything, moonroof, 4 wheel ABS, driver & passenger SRS, Automatic. 50,000 miles. White, garage kept and a total blast to drive (unless you’re in the snow wherein this vehicle could be referred to as “the death mobile”).

Know anyone who wants to purchase my Mustang? With twins coming in late June, there isn’t enough room in the backseat to house the twins. So like all responsible parents we’re upgrading “the fleet” and plan to get rid of the Mustang and pick up something more in line with having two kids: a minivan.

I can’t believe I just wrote that. My wife can’t believe it either. We’re shocked. We’re dismayed. We’re becoming everything we hate about suburban America. We’ll no longer be referred to as “dinks” (dual income no kids).

Now we’ll be “parents”.

Oh the humanity!

Anyway, the whole automobile purchasing scene is a nightmare and makes my skin crawl so the least time in the dealership for me, the better. I emailed my local Honda dealership (we’re getting an Odyssey minivan) and got their best price for the new vehicle. Not bad.

On a whim, I took the Mustang in there to see what they would give me for it. I have to say, I was shocked and amazed at what they offered me for it. It was $1,500 higher than what NADA.com says its worth. Not bad I said. Next stop, Carmax to see what they’ll but it for.

After that, I may just advertise it myself on autotrader.com. If I can sell it in 6 weeks or less, great. If not, then I can fall back on the dealership or Carmax. Either way, buh bye Mustang and hello minivan.

What is this world coming to?!
