Used Mustangs priced around 120,000 RMB are typically from 2016. Below is relevant information about the Ford Mustang: Origin: In 1962, Ford developed its first concept car for the Mustang—the Mustang-I concept, a mid-engine two-seater sports car. The name "Mustang" was chosen to commemorate the legendary WWII American P-51 Mustang fighter. Due to the impracticality of the two-seat design in the Mustang-I concept, it was rejected by Ford executives. In October 1963, Ford introduced the Mustang-II concept, switching to a front-engine layout with four seats. Philosophy: On April 17, 1964, after repeated evaluations and modifications by Ford's team, the first-generation production Mustang was officially unveiled at the New York World's Fair. From then on, the Mustang showcased its style to the world. Ford's timing was impeccable, as the post-war baby boomers were just entering car-buying age. This generation had vastly different demands for cars compared to their parents—they sought to express their individuality, and the Mustang was born to meet this desire.
I've been in the used car buying and selling business for many years, and the Mustang typically goes for around 120,000 yuan, commonly seen in models from 2009 to 2013. Imported Mustangs depreciate quickly—new ones cost 300,000 to 400,000 yuan, but after 5 to 7 years, they drop to around 120,000. The exact year depends on the car's condition: you can easily find a 2011 model with under 80,000 km, or a higher-mileage 2012 model with around 100,000 km. Why are they cheap? Mainly due to high insurance and maintenance costs, like engine carbon buildup and frequent minor transmission issues, which can cost thousands to fix. The market is better in cities like Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, and Shenzhen, but be cautious about the car's history—don’t just focus on the year. I recommend checking the vehicle records and listening for engine stability during a test drive. Older models like the 2009 are common but not worth it. Overall, stick to post-2010 models for peace of mind.
