What Should I Look for in a Used Mustang for Sale?
Aside from the obvious, like rare trim levels and exotic limited editions, what do you look for in a Mustang? I’ve learned the features that drivers love in their Ford cars. Let me share with you a list of some of the best features on Mustang models.
- Blue Advantage Blue Certified Mustang cars: While this may not be a feature, blue certification in Ford cars is a great thing to watch for. You’ll see the Blue Advantage Blue Certified logo on our online inventory, marking our certified cars. Learn more about what that means with this Blue Advantage blog.
- Mustang GT and GT Premium Trims: These aren’t the rarest trim levels, but they are some of the most popular. Keep reading to find out why drivers love the Mustang GT and GT Premium.
- Low Mileage Mustang Cars: Look for used Mustang cars with under 100,000 miles driven. Mustang cars can be extremely long-lasting, but a lower mileage vehicle will gain you one or two extra years.
- Mustang Enhanced Security Package: Understandably, you want to keep your investment safe, so why not invest in a vehicle that does its best to keep itself safe? That’s what the enhanced security package is all about.
- Mustang GT Performance Package: With this package, you’ll receive all sorts of performance upgrades, including enhanced brake calipers, chassis, steering, and more.

Why do drivers love the used Mustang GT and GT Premium models? Here are a few reasons that I’ve heard from our happy customers:
- 5 L V8 Engine: It all starts with their powerful engine options. Drivers who choose the GT or GT Premium are generally interested in powerful performance and responsive steering.
- Multiple model year options: The Mustang GT and GT Premium have been around for a while now, meaning that you can find relatively new options or models that are a few years old. It’s easy to compare features and know you’re getting the best value option.
