What Our Members Are Saying about the Price of the Ford Mustang

Price of the Ford Mustang: Pros
YearBody/PowertrainComment
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.
