Default Difficult decision

Had someone offer a pretty clean 1995 mustang gt 302 as a trade for my 88 today. I'm half tempted to accept it. But I've got a lot of work in this old 300.

I would like the mpg.
I miss having a car.
I miss the v8 sound and power.

But I'm sure I'll miss having a truck I do accept the trade.

Any thoughts?

That's hard, if you like the car and don't need a pick up then I guess go for it. The car should be worth more unless something is wrong with it. That would have me a bit concerned as to why the guy would go for it. Personally I don't care for that style mustang, I would prefer a 5.0 fox body

I'm gonna have a closer look at the car tomorrow. I'm not sure why he wants to trade for this truck. I have some digging to do before I decide on anything

Thought long and hard about the truck today. I think I've decided to keep it. After all the work I've put into it, it would just be a waste to trade it off.

95 Mustang would not be my first choice of a trade, parts are stupid expensive.

Good decision. I've been down that road a few times before with my truck. I always come back to the same conclusion. I love my truck and will never get rid of it.

I have had too many life experiences in my truck and there is nothing that can replace that. I don't care if gas is a bitch, and if its never quite running perfect. I believe not a single vehicle out there could replace it.

I'm with you 100%. I don't think I'll ever get rid of this truck. It took me close to 6 months of work to get this truck on the road. No sense in throwing that away
