Used Ford Mustang GT: the years to buy and the years to skip
Every Ford Mustang GT from 2010 to 2025, across 3 generations: what each year typically sells for (about $15,500 to $48,000), its crash rating, and whether it's a year to target or skip. The best bets are 2010–2014, 2016–2025. Look harder at or skip 2015.
2024–2025 Ford Mustang GT
The newest Mustang GT refines the formula with a Coyote eight-cylinder, a manual option and digital cockpit.
Years to target: 2024–2025. It has an average reliability record.
| Year | Typical price | Verdict | Crash rating | Typical miles |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2024 | $46,500 | Target | 5 of 5 | ~20,000 |
| 2025 | $48,000 | Target | 5 of 5 | ~15,000 |
Worth knowing
- Prices remain close to new with steep early depreciation, and early builds had several recalls and infotainment glitches.
- Performance cars like this usually cost much more to insure than an average car, often 30% or more. Get a quote before you buy.
- Budget for higher running costs: summer performance tires cost about $700 to $1,200 a set and wear quickly, and brakes cost more than on a regular car.
The trim we'd park in our garage
Seek a GT with the Performance Package for Brembo brakes, a Torsen limited-slip and optional MagneRide dampers.
On the test drive
Confirm all recall work is done and test the touchscreen and digital cluster for glitches. Get a pre-purchase inspection and a vehicle history report before you buy.

- Adaptive cruise control: optional from 2024, never standard in this generation.

Worth knowing
- 2015: owner complaints spike (436, mostly the electrical system).

- Performance cars like this usually cost much more to insure than an average car, often 30% or more. Get a quote before you buy.
- Budget for higher running costs: summer performance tires cost about $700 to $1,200 a set and wear quickly, and brakes cost more than on a regular car.
The trim we'd park in our garage
Look for a 2018 or newer GT with Performance Package 1: it adds Brembo brakes, a Torsen limited-slip, extra cooling and firmer chassis tuning.
On the test drive
Ask about oil consumption on 2018 and later engines, and check manuals for grinding shifts and clutch slip. Get a pre-purchase inspection and a vehicle history report before you buy.
Safety tech
- Automatic emergency braking: optional from 2018, never standard in this generation.
- Adaptive cruise control: optional from 2018, never standard in this generation.

2010–2014 Ford Mustang GT
A classic pony car with a big jump in power and a traditional muscle car feel.
Years to target: 2010–2014. It has an average reliability record.
| Year | Typical price | Verdict | Crash rating | Typical miles |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2010 | $15,500 | Target | 4 of 5 | ~135,000 |
| 2011 | $17,000 | Target | 4 of 5 | ~125,000 |

| 2014 | $22,500 | Target | 4 of 5 | ~100,000 |
Worth knowing
- The 2010 car keeps the older 4.6 V8 with much less power, and the solid rear axle makes bumpy roads feel choppy.
- Performance cars like this usually cost much more to insure than an average car, often 30% or more. Get a quote before you buy.
- Budget for higher running costs: summer performance tires cost about $700 to $1,200 a set and wear quickly, and brakes cost more than on a regular car.
The trim we'd park in our garage
Aim for a 2011 or newer GT for the 5.0 Coyote V8. A 2012 to 2014 car with the Brembo Brake Package adds bigger brakes and better wheels.
On the test drive
On manual cars, check for notchy or grinding shifts and a slipping clutch, common signs of hard launches. Get a pre-purchase inspection and a vehicle history report before you buy.
Safety tech
- Automatic emergency braking: not offered in this generation.
- Adaptive cruise control: not offered in this generation.
- Blind-spot monitoring: not standard in this generation, so check the listing.
