A Mustang owner had bought a minivan for his family and decided his sports car deserved more time on the road. Selling it, though, depended on finding a buyer who would meet his price. Otherwise, he was happy to take it home.
After seven years with his 2019 Ford Mustang GT, the owner brought it to Toronto Auto Brokers in Ontario. In the dealership’s October 28 video, he explains that he no longer drives it much and recently bought a 2026 Chrysler Pacifica S.
His Mustang had covered just 23,147 kilometers, or about 14,383 miles. He said he bought it with only 800 kilometers on the clock and had kept it stock, without a tune or other modifications.
Gideon, the dealership’s buyer, liked the car’s condition and reviewed its history. An inspection still had to follow, but the first obstacle was money: the owner wanted about $35,730, while Gideon was thinking closer to $30,010. All amounts here are approximate U.S. dollar equivalents, converted at the October 28 exchange rate.
Room to Move

For the owner, the Mustang’s appeal had survived the move to a family vehicle. Asked what he liked about it during a drive with a dealership employee, he named its color and sound, along with the way it drove.
“I just hate seeing it sit around when somebody else could be enjoying it,” he said. He also told Gideon that he owed nothing on the car.
Negotiations moved quickly once the opening figures were out. The owner dropped his asking price to about $33,580, and Gideon countered at roughly $30,720. Then the owner offered about $32,150 to finish the deal.
Gideon tried roughly $31,440. That final gap of about $710 was enough to stop the seller.
“I’d rather take the car and bring it back home and look at it and smoke a cigar,” the owner said.
A joking offer to keep the Mustang in the showroom and send him daily photos did not change his answer. Gideon agreed to about $32,150, subject to inspection.
One Last Check
Condition was only part of the purchase decision. Gideon also wanted to confirm that the Mustang had Performance Package Level 2, recalling a previous car whose owner had mistaken Level 1 for Level 2.
This time, he said he checked the option list and confirmed both the 401A package and Performance Package Level 2. He also said the mechanical inspection passed, allowing the paperwork to proceed.
Using the same exchange rate for comparison, the owner’s stated original purchase price converts to about $35,370. The agreed sale price was roughly $3,220 below that amount after seven years, before any taxes, maintenance, insurance, or other ownership expenses.
He had already named a possible successor to the Mustang once his children were older. After a few years with the minivan, he told Gideon he might return for a BMW M4.
