The 2024 Ford Mustang offers these trims:

• EcoBoost: The entry engine is the 2.3-litre turbo four-cylinder with 315 horsepower and 350 pound-feet of torque, paired with a 10-speed automatic; this is the best-value choice if you want the Mustang experience at the lowest starting price.
• GT: The 5.0-litre V8 brings 480 hp and 415 lb-ft, plus a six-speed manual and the option of a 10-speed automatic; it suits you if you want the classic muscle-car character.
• Dark Horse: The top performance model produces 500 hp and adds several performance enhancements for buyers who want the most serious track-focused version.
• EcoBoost Convertible: This adds open-air driving to the EcoBoost formula and suits you if you want the Mustang shape with a more relaxed touring feel.

What Ford Mustang do most buyers choose?

The Ford Mustang years with the most listings are 2024, 2025, and 2023.

These higher-volume years tend to be the most popular used picks because they give you more inventory to compare, more pricing spread to work with, and more chances to find the trim and body style you want. They also tend to be the easiest years to shop if you want a balance of availability and current-market pricing.

What is the Ford Mustang's resale value?

Most Mustang model years are down year over year, and several recent examples have seen meaningful price drops. That creates better opportunities for used buyers, especially if you are shopping newer model years that have already moved off their peak pricing. A few years have softened only slightly, while one has edged up, so the pattern is mixed rather than uniform.

The 2021, 2024, and 2022 model years have held their value best, with the smallest year-over-year price changes.
