5 great deals on U.S. wheels
When you hear 'Detroit,' you may think bust and bailout. But look past the headlines to find nice prices on sharp cars.
Ford Mustang GT
Market price: $22,217
Cost of ownership:
Miles per gallon: 15 city 23 hwy.
It's a safe bet that few Mustang shoppers are ogling its nice ownership-cost rating, which is driven by its resale value. They're probably more interested in performance, and they won't be disappointed. One caveat: Although the 2009 is a good deal, the 2010 features electronic stability control, which helps prevent wipe-outs. You'll pay up to $6,000 more, but it's worth it if you can do it.
