Ford Mustang: Best buy for depreciation

The Ford Mustang tops the chart of the top five best depreciating sports cars at one year old and 10,000 miles. The Ford Mustang beats models from Porsche, Lotus and Nissan, according to research from Cap Hpi.
Top five best depreciators at 10,000 miles:

• Ford Mustang  — 99.5 percent retail value retained against RRP 
• Porsche Cayman — 96.5 percent retail value retained against RRP 
• Lotus Elize — 93.4 percent retail value retained against RRP 
• Nissan GT-R 89.9 percent retail value retained against RRP 
Commenting on the findings, Clive Wilson, at Cap Hpi said: “The new Ford Mustang met with positive reviews in the media and is proving a hit for the brand. The majority of buyers are picking the V8 for the authentic muscle car experience, while the Ecoboost engine accounts for around 30% of sales.
“Depreciation is often the hidden cost of motoring but for anyone looking for a good value sports car, the Ford Mustang provides a savvy new and used purchase.”
Ford recently announced the Mustang is the most popular high-performance sports coupe, ahead of competitors from Porsche, BMW, Jaguar and Mercedes.
Figures for sports cars with 250PS or more put the Mustang at the front of the pack from January to July 2016.
