The past four months have not been kind to the Ford Mustang as it has seen a steady decline in sales but October changed all that with a healthy increase over the previous month. Mustang sales may be settling in for the long hall as buyers hold on to their current vehicle and cash waiting for the all-new 2015 Mustang coming in early 2014.
I guess this begs the question, would you buy a new Mustang now or would wait for the 2015 model? Let us know in the comments.

I am waiting to buy the re-designed turbo V6 2015 Mustang with similar power to the current 5.0 litre V8.
