| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2010 | 4dr Sedan 250-horsepower 3.5L V6 4-speed automatic RWD | This car was built before 12/31/2009 so after my family/friends discount (a friend gave me) I also received a $3500 instant rebate. |
| 2009 | 4dr Sedan 250-horsepower 3.5L V6 4-speed automatic RWD | A lot more car for a little more money - 3.5L V6 costs just a bit more than the regular 2.4,2.5L V4s. |
| 2008 | 4dr Sedan 250-horsepower 3.5L V6 4-speed automatic RWD | Charger with 250-horse v6 priced the same as 4-cylinder ford fusion, chevy malibu, or toyota corolla. It is a much better car for the price. |
| 2006 | 4dr Sedan 250-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic RWD | Reasonable price, good discounts, excellent used car buy because of high depreciation. |

| Price of the Ford Mustang: Pros | ||
| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2012 | 2dr Coupe 305-horsepower 3.7L V6 6-speed manual RWD | Less than $25k out the door w/ all taxes & other BS ain't bad for a 300hp car that drives this well and this fast. |
| 2011 | 2dr Coupe 412-horsepower 5.0L V8 6-speed manual RWD | 2 thousand dollars less than its competitors. |
| 2010 | 2dr Coupe 210-horsepower 4.0L V6 5-speed manual RWD | The 2010 in December was a great price! Even though this is my fun vehicle ( I have eight others, I can easily afford the payments and insurance. Actually, adding this to the "fleet" only added an addition $53 to my six-month premiums. |
| 2007 | 2dr Coupe 300-horsepower 4.6L V8 5-speed manual RWD | I can't believe how reasonably priced this car was. |
| 2005 | 2dr Coupe 210-horsepower 4.0L V6 5-speed automatic RWD | Alot of car "fun to drive" for a really good price. |
| 2005 | 2dr Coupe 300-horsepower 4.6L V8 5-speed manual RWD | Cheap for the performance level, and cheap to own long term. |
| 2002 | 2dr Coupe 190-horsepower 3.8L V6 5-speed manual RWD | Very cheap car for the performance and styling even in the 6 cylinder model. |

| 2010 | 2dr Convertible 315-horsepower 4.6L V8 5-speed automatic RWD |
Very nice fit and finish. |
| 2007 | 2dr Coupe 300-horsepower 4.6L V8 5-speed manual RWD |
I have driven the car over 10200 miles since Feb 2007, and have had no problems, squeeks, or rattles. It is very well built. The leather on the seating surfaces is perforated and appears it will last. The plastic on the dash could be better executed. |
| 2007 | 2dr Coupe supercharged 500hp 5.4L V8 6-speed manual RWD |
FABULOUS for $45k demographic!!! where can you discover so many technical/engineering things stuffed in a $45k USA supercar?? score Ford!- almost bought the zo6 /zr-1 ///m3 e92 alternatives! put the $30k to $75k into a NON DEPRECIATING 2nd HO |
| 2006 | 2dr Convertible 300-horsepower 4.6L V8 5-speed manual RWD |
Have found nothing of note that was not done very well. |
| 2002 | 2dr Coupe 190-horsepower 3.8L V6 5-speed manual RWD |
Only repair in 6 years was the CD player while under warranty. 80000 miles and very solid. |

| 2013 | 2dr Coupe 420-horsepower 5.0L V8 6-speed manual RWD |
Rattle rattle rattle rattle rattle...noises come from everywhere. I'm writing them all down and will make one trip to the dealer. So far, the seatbelt anchor appears to be rattling, the driver side window, the seat when the lumbar (squeak, squeak) is at its fullest, and also when it's at its lowest setting (squeak, rattle, squeak). It sounds like a 1980s VW. |
| 2008 | 2dr Coupe 210-horsepower 4.0L V6 5-speed manual RWD |
creaks, rattles and moans. cheap hard plastics, shiny center console |
| 2005 | 2dr Convertible 300-horsepower 4.6L V8 5-speed automatic RWD |
Some interior plastics and switches feel cheap. |
