Ford Mustang 1998-2008 – 2019 Market Review

Ford Mustang 1998-2008

Ford’s move to replace its entire FPV range with one US-made model (the Mustang) has brought kudos to the brand and upset some applecarts in the used Mustang market.

Businesses that once made a living from importing basic cars must now focus on the versions Ford doesn’t bring in (not yet anyway) and volumes are significantly lower. People who five years ago paid $100K for Mustang GTs now cannot sell them for anywhere near the money they owe because a Ford dealer will supply a 2019 car with warranty for less.

Asking prices for the Mustang Cobras that Ford tried to sell from 1999-2002 are generally excessive; $20,000 for a coupe more realistic than the $30,000 often asked.
