Summary
$51,300 average asking prices on CarGurus imply the 2021 Ford Mustang Mach 1 has depreciated only 6.8% over five years, far less than earlier benchmark estimates.
KBB pegs the Mach 1's fair purchase price at $43,700 versus its $55,045 original MSRP, which would mean a still-low 20.61% decline; Edmunds listings average about $50,000, implying roughly 9% depreciation.
Limited supply helps explain the resilience: only about 6,300 of the 52,414 Mustangs sold in 2021 were Mach 1s, reviving a badge absent from showrooms since 2004.
Within the 2021 Mustang lineup, only the Shelby GT500 retains value better at 90.8% of MSRP, while the broader Ford average is about a 50% price drop after five years.
