Default Should I buy a used 2015-16 Mustang?

Hi, I have been looking for mustangs online and figured out that Ecoboost is the best option for me. The price is reasonable. Im looking at 2015-16 Ecoboost convertible in either premium or base for around 22-24k with around 25-35k miles so what do you guys think. Should i get this mustang with 25-35k miles and will it be a reliable car to drive? Also what do you guys think about the price.

Look at KBB for pricing information. If you like the car and that is what you can afford, buy it.

So an ecoboost with around 30k miles is good for 23k?

i agree with both proeagles and Irtoo De, run a kelly blue book for the convertable that you want, if you have a smart phone, download the app, it's free and easy to use, and if it's what you want, and the price is right, go for it,
the ecoboost engine is not the same as the focus rs, it's similer, but larger, i've done research on reliability of ecoboost, there wasin't much on the mustang ecoboost, but for the f150 3.7 version, saw alot of bad reviews on them
the bad reviews for the mustang ecoboost were mostly from people who did exhaust mods and a flash re-tune, and things got scewed up from doing the re-tune, have heard that doing a re-tune can increase a good amount pf power, but needs to be done by someone that knows what there're doing
Good luck

I just bought a 2017 Ecoboost convertible premium for $23.5k with 24K miles on it. 24K to 25K seemed to be the popular price for this model and mileage. A 2015 or 2016 should be a few thousand cheaper.

These are prices in the southeast US.
