I need help with this yall ! So torn.

[stickshifthappy]

So , my wildtrak will be delivered in the next week or so and my 2015 mustang which I originally was going to keep must be sold so I can be in a better position with the bronco..
I don't HAVE TO sell the mustang but it would greatly help me with a lil tigher financial situation currently. Basically I'd be losing one horse but gaining another ..my question is, am I stupid for getting rid of this car? Or is the bronco that much fun that I won't mind ? Or buck up and tighten the belt? I know this is very opinion based but I just wanted some light hearted feedback to soften the loss of my baby..here she is..

It ain't my money so I'm gonna go with suck it up, and put 'em both in the corral.

That Mustang is just too damn perty.

I kept my 2015 Mustang after I took ownership of my Bronco back in 2021. After about 6 months and probably putting less than 2000 miles I ended up getting rid of it because I really didn't drive it as I was more interested in the Bronco. Point being, keep it and see if you still enjoy the mustang and if not, sale it.

KEEP IT!!!!

Make your decision later on.
You may not like the Bronco. It’s a totally different animal . Or you may want to switch up your rides.

Keep the mustang until you know for sure. And if you don’t have to sell, then don’t right now. I was put in the same situation. I don’t regret selling because I needed to move on to something different. But I knew that for certain, so I was okay with the decision.

You are uncertain right now, so don’t make that decision if you don’t need to. You will know more about the new Bronco after you get it and drive it for awhile.

It’s not like you can’t sell the mustang for a good price point, so just keep it for now. Till you’re 100% certain.

The fact that you’re asking us here, indicates, you are unsure.

DOUBT means DON’T

This is just my opinion. Hope it helps!

I sold my '03 Cobra Convertible years ago to buy a pickup. Then, sold the pickup and bought 3 Jeeps in succession. Recently sold a '06 Rubicon w/ 30k miles and a '16 SHO and paid cash for the Bronco. No Regerts, YOLO!!

Two entirely differenet animals.... I traded in my 2015 camaro rs for my badland bronco 4dr. Totally different driving characteristics......and purpose........the bronco sucks in twisties/race track and you Mustang would equally suck in the terrain the bronco excells in!!!.....KEEP BOTH

Pull the V8 from the Mustang and put it in the Bronco. Best of both worlds!

Without knowing your whole situation/the details, generally speaking, whenever the words "tighter financial situation" are apart of the conversation, clearly the "stupid" thing to do would be to buy ANOTHER vehicle (not to mention a top trim version). Not selling your current vehicle obviously makes that situation even worse. Everybody would like to have a nice Bronco AND a Mustang but if it straps you in any way shape or form, probably not a smart move. Just pretend the Bronco is a boat. Would you go out and buy a boat without worrying about the money? If so, then go for it.

I wouldn't sell a 2015-2018 Mustang since that was best looking version of the recent ones, in my opinion. They messed up the headlights after the first 3 years. And I like it more than the new 2024 model.

However, if you would struggle financially, sell it. It's just a car, and they get old/worn down. You can always buy another one in very good condition in the future, when financial conditions improve, if you really want to.

I have Traded my Mustang for Fusion as soon as we had a 2nd child and once I saw the reveal of the Bronco I traded the Fusion for it. Now I don't miss my Mustang that much. But, when my Kids are out of College, I may get a used Mustang 5.0 if they are still available and keep both Horses.

 

[HoosierMan]

I was in a similar situation. I have a 2011 Mustang GT that I ordered back in 2010. I only have 27k miles on it and have always planned on keeping it, but at one point considered selling it when I ordered the Bronco. Now have both and have no plans on selling my Mustang! Neither are daily drivers and both are a Joy to drive!

Let's keep the common sense, and logic out of this discussion please.....

I had the same dilemma with my 2012 Boss 302 and our 2022 Badlands last summer. I had averaged about 1,000 miles per year on the Boss (The Boss was another special order from Ford. I attended the Boss Track Attack with my daughter, and I loved getting it out). I was the only one who ever drove the Boss and my wife didn't enjoy riding in it.

Ultimately I decided to sell the Boss when we got the Badlands. If we hadn't got a 7MT Badlands I would have kept the Boss. My wife loves driving the Bronco. Ultimately it was a good decision give up the Boss since it would be driven even less than it was already being driven.

Bronco is just the gateway drug to modifications. Expect to want to mod your ride even more when you are thinking about your financial situation.

Maybe you can rent the stang on Turo.com to help alleviate some of the burden to make this all work out better for you.

If mostly driving on pavement and don't need the utility aspect of the Bronco (for hauling stuff around or whatever), then keep the Mustang. Bronco in particular Wildtrak (lockers, skid plates, swaybar disconnect, ground clearance, etc) for pavement?

Don't me wrong, I'm a long time open top 4x4 owner and fan. But I didn't get into them for pavement. One of the best things that happened for me was the Bronco delay, because while waiting I bought a sports car, and realized what I'd been missing in terms of pavement handling. The Bronco is like steering a boat in comparison.

If you can swing it keep both, that's what I'm doing, although I'm into both vehicles for way less cash than you, so that's easy for me to say.

So , my wildtrak will be delivered in the next week or so ….

Solution: change from a Wildtrack to a Base, and keep the Mustang. Mod the Base as your budget allows.
