"Learn Two Ways To Buy Used Ford Mustangs
At Wholesale Prices!"
Yes, we're a car wholesaler. And yes again, we really like Mustangs. We like the way they look. We like they way they drive. We like the way they sound. And we think they're a lot of car for the money.
And we're far from alone on this. J.D. Power gives the Mustang it's top rating score of 5 for Style, Body And Interior Quality, and Performance. It's also a nearly annual winner of edmunds.com's "Editors Most Wanted" and/or "Consumers Most Wanted" awards. It's also a Cars.com "Best Bet" award winner, just to name a few of a long list of independent accolades.
When you think of a Mustang, you think of its classic looks, its refined handling, the GT's V-8 power (how about 0 - 60 in 4.9 seconds?), its "blast-to-drive" 5-speed manual, and the V-8 exhaust note (a classic).
We're mostly interested in the eighth generation (1999 - 2004) and ninth generation (2005 - 2007) Mustangs we see at the car auctions we attend.
 The eighth generation Mustangs, like the current models, offer an excellent mix of fun, performance and affordablility, and are very likely the best of the Fox-body-based Mustangs (produced since the 1970's and ending in 2004).
Our favorite in this group would be the GT with its very healthy 260 horsepower V8. But if you're interested in something both faster and more unique, you may want to consider the limited edition Mach 1 with its 305 horsepower V8 ... or the supercharged SVT Cobra with a 390 horsepower V8.
Both of these were produced in 2003 and 2004 and can be a bit challenging to find, although a little patience is well worth it.
With the coming of the ninth generation in 2005, "value" remains one of the Mustang's key draws. And the redesign harkens images of the old Mustang styles of the 1960's while ride quality and handling are better than ever.
For those who find the standard Mustang coupe or convertible too tame (with a very capable 4.0 liter V6 with 210 horsepower), for roughly 5 to 6 grand more you can opt for the GT convertible or coupe with its 300 horsepower 4.6 liter V8.
Of course, there's now the Shelby GT 500 (brought back in the 2007 model year) with its supercharged 500 horsepower 5.4 liter V8. And as you might guess, these are extremely rare at the auctions.
With 4 decades of success behind it, yes, we think the Mustang is a solid choice as a used car purchase for those looking for more out of a car than just "transportation".
And we can make two suggestions to help you save a lot of money when buying one:
You see, we purchase vehicles at Dealer-Only car auctions. Cars at the auctions sell for their "trade-in" values. That's what "trade-in" value actually is ... it's the price Dealers pay for cars at their own auctions.
And due to our low-overhead business structure, after buying a car at the auction we're able to resell it with only a modest markup. Our customers save by being able to bypass the markups for sales commissions, fancy showrooms, Dealership employees, advertising expenses, high rent districts and so forth. The net result is fairly significant savings for car buyers ... usually in the $2,000 to $4,000 range.
ONE:
We're always on the lookout for the nicest used Mustangs for sale at the wholesale Dealer-Only auctions we attend, whether it be a coupe, convertible, GT, Mach 1 or Cobra.
