Long story short I've decided to keep this one until the wheels fall off and see just how much I can get out of it. I drive it daily so that will hopefully keep all the mechanics in good condition
Less than that. I looked at trading mine in on a new mustang and they were going to give me 20,000-22,000 depending on the dealer and at the time it only had 12,500 miles. This was in November.

I was told by a mechanic friend of mine, one of the worst things for a engine is just sitting around doing nothing.....bad for seals...engines are made to be used...not made to just sit around & deteriorate....
