Why do people who drive Mustangs usually sell them?

Because over time, on one hand, the novelty wears off, and on the other hand, it's not very practical, with relatively high fuel consumption and limited space. Below are the specific details about the Ford Mustang: Vehicle Positioning: The Mustang is a sports car under the Ford brand, with dimensions of 4778/1877/1417mm in length, width, and height, and a wheelbase of 2720mm. Powertrain: It uses two types of engines, one is a 2.3-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine, and the other is a 5.0-liter V8 naturally aspirated engine. The Mustang's 5.0-liter naturally aspirated engine has a maximum power output of 343 kW and a maximum torque of 556 Nm, equipped with multi-point fuel injection technology and using aluminum alloy cylinder heads and blocks. The Mustang's 2.3-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine has a maximum power output of 220 kW and a maximum torque of 434 Nm, equipped with direct fuel injection technology and using aluminum alloy cylinder heads and blocks. Suspension: The Mustang's front suspension uses MacPherson independent suspension, and the rear suspension uses a multi-link independent suspension. The multi-link independent suspension can improve wheel traction and enhance the car's handling.

I've always found the Mustang quite an interesting car. After driving it for a while, you'll understand why many people resell it. Among the owners I know, quite a few were initially attracted by its appearance—the muscular lines paired with a large displacement engine do look cool. But in reality, driving it daily for commuting can be quite tiring. The fuel consumption is ridiculously high, easily hitting 15 liters per 100 km in the city. The rear-wheel-drive layout makes it particularly prone to skidding in rain or snow; once, I nearly had an accident driving it in the mountains. Maintenance costs aren't low either—just replacing four tires can cost as much as half a major service for a regular car. More importantly, its practicality is poor—adults can't even stretch their legs in the back seats, and fitting a large suitcase in the trunk is a struggle. So after two or three years, once the novelty wears off, it usually ends up on used car platforms.

From the cases I've encountered, the fundamental reason Mustang owners sell their cars is changing needs. When you're in your early twenties, you buy this car for the attention it brings, but it becomes awkward when you reach the marriage stage. My friend got married last year, and the two-door design made it particularly difficult for his in-laws to get in and out, not to mention the baby safety seat wouldn't fit in the back. Additionally, the Mustang's suspension is tuned to be quite stiff, making long drives uncomfortable with backaches, and his girlfriend always complained it wasn't as comfortable as an SUV. With the rise of electric cars now, many are selling their gas cars to switch to Teslas or similar, saving money while keeping up with the trend. But honestly, the Mustang holds its value fairly well—after three years, you can still sell it for about 70% of its original price, which is better than some European cars.

Anyone who's been into car mods knows the Mustang is a paradox. The stock 5.0L engine sounds amazing, but it can't keep up with Porsches in the same price range on the track. Several buddies in my car crew went through this phase - starting with Mustangs to learn drifting, then switching to lightweight Japanese performance cars. Another issue is the high modification costs - just a brake kit upgrade runs 20-30k yuan, and ECU tuning often triggers warning lights. I once saw a modded Mustang suffer brake failure from overheating on track; the owner contacted used car dealers right after. Truth is, many owners don't stop loving the car - they just want better equipment after gaining experience.
