To keep or not to keep?

Recently I've had the thought of selling my truck for a 2004 manual mustang GT, I would ultimately put Bassani X pipe with Borla Stinger exhaust, coilovers, supercharger(one day), Sparco racing seats, etc.. I found a 2004 Mustang with 41,140 miles on it for 11,995. My truck's KBB is around 19,000...

My question to all of you is, what would you do? Any questions I can ask myself to help determine if I want to do this?? Thanks guys

If only, I've talked to my dad about that. He was open to buying a mess around toy, but we really don't have any room in our driveway for anymore cars.

Keep the truck and when you can get the A Mustang too.

But in the long run the truck will be more handy and is still fun.

Or go find a Mustang in need of work and resto then it's not such a pinch on the wallet to have both. And while you may or may not be able to drive it while it's under construction. It'll be one fun project and end up being whatever you want it to be in the end. And you can use your Truck to pick up the parts, motor etc... Plus it'd be fun for you and the Pop to do together.

That's what I'd do.

I wish, my dad has no interest in a project car.. On my own, meaning my own finances and I don't have the money
