Used Ford Mustang: the years to buy and the years to skip
Every Ford Mustang from 2010 to 2025, across 3 generations: what each year typically sells for (about $13,000 to $41,500), 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
The latest generation of Ford's muscle car, with a digital dash and an available manual.
Years to target: 2024–2025. It has a strong reliability record.
| Year | Typical price | Verdict | Crash rating | Typical miles |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2024 | $40,500 | Target | 5 of 5 | ~20,000 |
| 2025 | $41,500 | Target | 5 of 5 | ~15,000 |
Worth knowing
- These years are too new to show a long-term track record, so check recalls. Insurance on V8 models can be steep.
The trim we'd park in our garage
Look for the EcoBoost Premium: it adds heated and cooled seats, upgraded audio and nicer interior trim over the base EcoBoost. The V8 GT is listed separately.
