Used Mustang GT For Sale By Owner

What is the Mustang GT?

The GT is a popular trim level of the Ford Mustang that offers a significant performance upgrade over the base EcoBoost models. It is powered by a potent 5.0-liter V8 engine that produces an impressive 460 horsepower and 420 lb-ft of torque. This powerful engine gives the Mustang GT its throaty exhaust and exhilarating acceleration.

While the GT retains the iconic Mustang styling, it features several exterior enhancements that distinguish it from the EcoBoost models, such as dual exhaust with quad tips, a raised blade-type decklid spoiler, a unique high-gloss black-painted grille, and a unique rear valence.

Inside, the Mustang GT comes standard with cloth seats and basic amenities such as the SYNC infotainment system and a 6-speaker audio system. The GT trim levels include leather-trimmed, heated and cooled front seats, a larger touchscreen display, and an upgraded 9-speaker sound system for a more luxurious cabin experience

Mustang FAQ


Are used Mustang GTs reliable?

Used Mustang GTs are generally considered reliable sports cars when properly maintained. The 5.0L Coyote V8 engine is a robust and durable powertrain that can withstand spirited driving.

Some standout model years known for their reliability and longevity include:

2018 and 2019 Mustang GTs received top reliability ratings and had relatively few complaints about major issues. The independent rear suspension improved ride and handling without major problems.

The 2008 Mustang GT also earned a perfect reliability score, with no glaring concerns apart from some electrical issues which are common in modern vehicles.

The 2014 Mustang GT, being the last of the S197 generation, is highly regarded for its stout Coyote V8 and overall dependability.

No used vehicle is in perfect condition. Even in reliable Mustang years, you might experience issues such as:

- Paint bubbling or peeling, especially on horizontal surfaces exposed to sunlight
- Electrical glitches with SYNC systems and sensors4
- Clutch or transmission issues if not driven smoothly
