Are Ford Mustang models reliable?

Owners and experts consistently highlight the Mustang’s strong performance, engaging driving feel, and distinctive styling. Across the years, the car’s appeal also comes through in its broad range of engines and the way it keeps the classic pony-car formula intact.

• Owners rate the Ford Mustang between 4.42 and 5.0 out of 5 stars across all model years in the data.

For used buyers, long-term ownership risk is best managed by checking condition carefully and reviewing maintenance history, especially on older examples.

What should I look for when buying a used Ford Mustang?

Across all model years, at 73.7% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.

Older model years carry meaningfully higher accident rates, so always verify the vehicle history report on pre-2022 models.

Key things to evaluate:

• Safety package: frontal collision warning with automatic emergency braking, lane-keep assist, a blind-spot monitor with rear cross-traffic alert, rear parking sensors, rain-sensing wipers, and automatic high beams
• Infotainment: a large 13.2-inch infotainment touchscreen and a digital instrument cluster with Sync 4, plus Apple CarPlay and Android Auto

Which Ford Mustang trim should I buy?

The 2024 Ford Mustang offers these trims:

• EcoBoost: the entry engine brings a 2.3-liter turbocharged four-cylinder, a 10-speed automatic, and the most accessible starting point for shoppers who want Mustang style and everyday performance.
• GT: the V8-powered GT adds 480 hp, a six-speed manual, and a more serious muscle-car feel; it is the best-value trim for buyers who want the classic Mustang experience.
• Dark Horse: the top performance trim adds 500 hp and several other performance enhancements for shoppers who want the most focused factory setup.
• GT Convertible: this open-air version adds the GT’s V8 character in convertible form for buyers who want performance with top-down driving.
• EcoBoost Convertible: this version adds the convertible body style to the turbo four-cylinder setup for shoppers who want open-air driving at the lower entry point.

What Ford Mustang do most buyers choose?

The Ford Mustang years with the most listings are 2025, 2024, and 2023.

These higher-volume years tend to be popular because they give you more inventory to compare and a wider spread of prices and trims. They also sit close to the newest generation, which helps them stay attractive to shoppers who want modern features and familiar Mustang character.

What is the Ford Mustang's resale value?

Most model years are moving lower year over year, which is good news if you want to buy used. A few years are holding firmer or rising, so the market is not moving in one direction across the board. The sharpest declines are concentrated in the newest examples, while some older and mid-cycle years are showing more resilience.

The 2018 model year is holding steady, with prices close to flat year-over-year.

The 2023, 2014, and 2022 model years have held their value best, with prices flat to rising year-over-year.

Should I buy a used Ford Mustang now or wait for the next model?

Buy now if:

• Deal availability: The 2025 model has 33.7% good and great deals, and the 2024 model has 35%.
• Sweet-spot year: The 2025 model has the most listings at a current average price of $42,325. The Ford Mustang offers an iconic rear-wheel-drive sports-car character that blends performance, style, and everyday usability.

Consider waiting if:

• Powertrain/efficiency: The 2024 Mustang's entry-level engine is the EcoBoost 2.3-liter turbocharged four-cylinder that produces 315 horsepower and 350 pound-feet of torque, and the GT's Coyote 5.0-liter V8 is good for 480 hp and 415 lb-ft.
• Tech: All 2024 Mustangs come with a large 13.2-inch infotainment touchscreen and a digital instrument cluster, and Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are standard along with Amazon Alexa integration.
• Safety: Standard safety features for all Mustangs include frontal collision warning with automatic emergency braking, lane-keep assist, a blind-spot monitor with rear cross-traffic alert, rear parking sensors, rain-sensing wipers, and automatic high beams.
• Starting price: The base 2024 Ford Mustang EcoBoost has a starting price of $32,515.

If you're buying used today, the 2025 model year offers the best mix of value and availability. If you want the latest tech and features, it may be worth waiting for the next model year's inventory to build up.
