To trade in... or not...???

I have a '97 Convertible, base model, auto transmission, nothing added aftermarket, approx. 73K miles on it now. With all of the 0% financing out there, just trying to figure out if I'm better off sticking with my 'Stang, or if I should seriously start looking at trading it in or selling it. The car is well-maintained, no body damage, no major mechanical problems (does need a new wheel and new tires & I've noticed a few very minor flaws in the convertible top). Just wondering what I might be looking at, as far as upcoming repairs and higher-mileage vehicle maintenance.

Any advice or guidance would be much appreciated! I love the car, but my hubby is convinced it's going to cost us a lot to keep it on the road.

Thanks! Kori

I think that your car would be worth around 4k .... thats my quick guess .. as for the new cars ... 0% means that you have to be approved and you have to pay off the car in a shorter time .... i guess 3 years.... so your payments are higher .... depends on the down payment ...

i'm sure you know about this ... but just in case ....

says your 97 convertible Mustang 3.8 V6 automatic isworth $8900. Not that this is for sure *the value* of your car because that is relative, heh. But I thought the $4000 sounded very low so I looked.

Bought a 2003 F150, 0% interest for 5 years direct from Ford.

Not sure where you are getting your loans from, but you should shop around !!
