Should I trade or sell my 00 Mustang? I'm looking at a 05 Lincoln LS?

My mustang has about 80k miles on it. I bought it used a while back. It's a auto with power locks/mirrors/windows/seats with ABS & it's an 8cylinder. It was good when I first started driving along with only had one car seat in the back but I might be getting ready for baby number 2 so I need something bigger & more family oriented. With or without the second edition I want the Lincoln cause I think it's more of an adult car(no offense) and it'd fit my style alot better. Along with give us more leg room & help me save some gas money(Lincoln will be a 6 cyl).

Should I trade my Mustang or sell it myself & use that as the down payment for my Lincoln?

You'd be much better off buying a 2007 MKZ rather than the LS. The LS is a really nice car, but on the troublesome side. The MKZ is bulletproof. I would sell the Mustang yourself, when the nice weather comes around. That's the time of year that you'll get your best money for it.
