Used Ford Mustang Buying Guide
Sixth Generation, 2015-Current
Style & Comfort: The used Ford Mustang is stylish, inside and out. With their high-quality materials, modern Mustang cabins feel downright luxurious. Features like leather upholstery and chrome interior accents to add serious glitz to your daily drive.
Technology & Convenience: Depending on model year, you'll find two infotainment systems in this generation. Sync 3 is the latest model. It includes Apple CarPlay and Android Auto technology, making your drive safer by displaying smartphone apps like Maps directly on the central touchscreen. The older MyFord Touch system supplies vital functions, including hands-free calling and music streaming.
Safety: With anti-lock brakes, stability and traction control, and a rearview camera in every single model, the fifth-generation Mustang is designed to boost safety in tricky conditions.
Performance: This gang of Mustangs is like no other. For starters, it was the first to introduce a turbocharged four-cylinder engine to combine sporty speed with wallet-friendly fuel economy. Like previous generations, this one also offers V6 and V8 engine options, though with more horsepower than ever before. The Mustang GT spits out 435 horses and 400 pound-feet of torque for all-out acceleration. You can optimize your ride for drag races with the six-speed automatic transmission or enjoy complete control over gearshifts with the manual six-speed.
Fifth Generation, 2005-2014
Style & Comfort: These models' slick throwback style includes an old-school dual-hooded dash and a fastback roofline. Trendy details, like an instrument backlight that switches between white, blue, green, and orange, give the cabin a modern vibe.
Technology & Convenience: Depending on model year, you can find quite a range of entertainment options, from CD players to the MyFord Touch touchscreen interface.
Safety: Beginning in 2010, all of these muscle cars included anti-lock brakes and stability and traction control as standard equipment. Before that, this equipment was standard on V8 models and optional with the V6.
Performance: Equipped with the V8 engine, these used Ford Mustangs fire on all cylinders with 300 horses. In addition to all-out speed, these muscle cars give you the responsive handling and tight steering necessary for all-around ace performance.
What Drivers Love about the Used Ford Mustang
The used Ford Mustang caters to drivers who can't get enough speed and style. With its powerful V8 and thrifty turbocharged engine options, it's no wonder that this muscle car has such a devoted following. The Mustang delivers a rush of speed whenever you ask, and, in sixth-generation models, the independent rear suspension helps you blend muscle with a smooth, responsive ride.
What to Look for in Your Used Ford Mustang
Throughout recent generations, Ford has continued to improve the Mustang, enhancing cabin materials and on-road refinement. When you test-drive a sixth-generation model, the first thing you'll notice is its seamless blend of power and smoothness. However, fifth-generation models also improved on their predecessors with noticeably better handling on winding paths or around sharp turns.
Used Ford Mustang Buyers Beware
For more than a decade now, the Mustang has been bringing its A-game. All of these used models are equipped with four-wheel disc brakes for a quick stop from high speeds. However, if you're shopping fifth-generation models, check the features list to make sure they include anti-lock brakes and stability and traction control. These important safety features help keep the Mustang from skidding over slick surfaces, and, before 2010, they were optional on V6 models and only standard on the Mustang GT.
