Why are there so many 15' Mustangs for sale?

[Mr Monte]

I love my SS. Would love to see a picture of yours Monte.

The Coyote 5.0L & LS3 6.2L put power down differently. My wife & I switch cars often because we enjoy each for what they are.

I know a couple of people with 2015 turbos 4 that want to sell them. According to one owner he said the value of his car has tanked.

people get bored, want the latest and greatest, and take an absolute bath when they sell a 15-17 with a power adder for barely 30k. lol

They’re paid off and time to get into a 2020/2021.

The V6 and Eco cars get dumped a lot it seems. I’d venture many were leases or people got bored or grew out (or up... GT, etc) of them.

So here are some fun facts according to Autotrader. The GT takes the crown for most cars for sale, and surprisingly 2017 has a lot more than 15/16 models which I suppose could be due to lease returns on the 2017. 2015 being the 50th anniversary year should help the resale a bit as anniversary years are usually more desirable. My guess is the cost of owning a GT is too high for many so they end up selling.


2015

V6 - 102
EB - 216
GT - 287


2016

V6 - 115
EB - 240
GT - 254


2017

V6 - 144
EB - 388
GT - 420

My crystal ball says that the reason for jump in GTs for sale was the fact that MY 2018 brought us the Gen 3 Coyote as well as a freshen up in styling.

Are you suggesting that people who bought the 2017 GT are more likely to sell/trade to get the 18/19/20 GT than those with 15/16 GT? That doesn't make a lot of sense.

those 2017 owners might have purchased their GTs used as a gateway car waiting the next generation engine or refresh in styling. There's no info on if the owners are original or 2nd or 3rd owners. MY 2018 also brought us the A-10 tranny.

I think a lot of people get a hankering for something new.

As of early March, I started to plan for ordering a new GT500, assuming I could find an allocation without an ADM (seemed likely with enough footwork). Then the virus hit and all hell broke loose, including a massive pay cut and sketchy job security. No end in sight as of this writing, so the plans for that Shelby are off the table, probably for a solid year at least. But now that I've had more time to think about it, I've wanted a Porsche since I was a kid (and have done the GT500 thing before), so thoughts of a 718 GTS 4.0 are there too.

For right now, my nicely modded, low mile, paid for, GT is fitting the bill pretty well....but most car people know the itch for something else.

Most of the 2015's are paid in full or have very little balance remaining. I got a 5k discount, and the 0% for 72 with no money down and only owe about 7k on the car. I could get 14k on trade or sell it outright for 18k but have no desire for anything new. I like my 2015 Turbo and there is nothing out there that interests me at the moment. If the Cuda comes out as planned and it's done right I may consider trading in the Mustang.

I had a Porsche once and will never own another. Too expensive and a pain in the ass to get serviced. The Mustang Turbo has been flawless for 5 years and only required oil changes and tires.

Paid off, and traded for new?

Agreed, there are definite downsides to the P-cars....

I've also kicked around turboing my '15, as I love the car in general and it would be the best bang for the buck. Ran a Marti report on it too and found out it a rare bird as I ordered it, not that it'll matter in my lifetime...

Because mustangs are the most popular sports car in the world, owners always move on to newer models...Id love to have a 2020 gt pp1 10 speed but I'm into my 16 deep, so I'm keeping it!!
