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.

Price of the Chevrolet Corvette: Pros
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2007 2dr Hatch 400-horsepower 6.0L V8
6-speed manual RWD
Hard to find a car near this performance level for the dollar.
Price of the Chevrolet Corvette: Cons
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2007 2dr Hatch 400-horsepower 6.0L V8
6-speed shiftable automatic RWD
Costs quite a bit of money
2003 2dr Coupe 405-horsepower 5.7L V8
6-speed manual RWD
Can get very expensive with too many options and dealers are reluctant to discount the price, but that is changing as cars with large V8 engines get harder to sell.
