At Gary Crossley Ford, we are excited to announce that the Ford Mustang has been awarded the 2023 Best Value in America Award from Vincentric, a leading automotive research firm. The Mustang, which has always been a fan favorite in both the new and used vehicle markets, offers an incredible value proposition for its price, providing a fun driving experience that is hard to beat. This year, the Mustang outperformed six competitors in the sports car segment and came in at 7.2 percent below its expected ownership costs, making it a top performer in the category.
Vincentric determines the winners of its Best Value in America Awards by analyzing the cost of ownership for approximately 2,000 vehicle configurations, taking into account factors such as depreciation, insurance, repairs, maintenance, finance, fuel, taxes, state fees, and opportunity costs. The firm then calculates a vehicle’s expected cost of ownership based on a statistical model that correlates price and cost of ownership within that specific segment. The vehicle that comes in with the greatest percentage below the expected cost of ownership is determined to be the best value in its category.
David Wurster, the President of Vincentric, notes that the awards aim to guide consumers in making informed vehicle purchase decisions. This year’s awards saw several electric vehicles winning in their segments, demonstrating that EVs can be the best value choice despite their typically higher purchase price, thanks to fuel and maintenance cost savings.
We are proud that the Ford Mustang has won the Best Value in America Award and we believe that it is a testament to the exceptional quality and value of this iconic vehicle. If you’re in the market for a sports car, we invite you to visit our dealership and take the Mustang for a spin. We think you’ll agree that it’s one of the best values out there and we’ve got plenty for you to choose from at Gary Crossley Ford.
