Keep reading below, then schedule a test drive in Houston. Bringing your own numbers to the lot settles this faster than any spec sheet.
What does a new Ford Mustang cost at Group 1 Ford of Southwest Houston?
The Mustangs we have in stock are in our online new-vehicle inventory, and the sticker price is the first line of your price. For the 2026 model year, the Mustang EcoBoost Fastback starts at $32,995. The Mustang GT Fastback starts at $46,800, and the Mustang Dark Horse starts at $64,080.
Those are the maker’s starting prices, so each trim’s number belongs to that trim alone. Pick the trim first, then build the rest of the price from it. We sell new Ford vehicles, including the Mustang, from the Southwest Freeway location.
How much more does a Mustang GT cost than an EcoBoost?
The GT Fastback starts at $46,800, and the EcoBoost Fastback starts at $32,995. That is a $13,805 gap at the starting price before tax and fees.
The gap is not only in the price. The 5.0L Coyote V8 in the GT is rated at 480 horsepower at 7,150 rpm, or 486 horsepower at 7,250 rpm with the active valve performance exhaust. The 2.3L EcoBoost I-4 is rated at 315 horsepower and 350 lb-ft of torque. Ford’s published specifications list those figures for the 2026 model year.
What Texas taxes and fees go on top of a new Mustang’s price?
Texas charges motor vehicle sales tax on the price of the vehicle. The Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts (2026) puts the motor vehicle sales tax at 6.25 percent of sales price, minus any trade-in allowance. Title and registration fees sit on top of that.
The title application fee is $33 for a purchaser or owner who lives in a listed county, including Harris, Dallas, Travis and Fort Bend. For every other Texas county, it is $28, according to the Fort Bend County Tax Assessor-Collector’s title transfer fees. The base registration fee for a passenger car is $50.75, and the TxDMV’s registration line also includes $1 for the Insurance Verification Project, so the registration line on a renewal notice is shown as $51.75 (Texas Department of Motor Vehicles, 2026).
Harris County adds a local registration fee of $11.50, per the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles fee chart effective 2026. Those county fees change what you pay at the counter, so check them against your own address before you finish the math.
How do you get a trade-in offer before pricing your Mustang?

A May 2026 5-star Google review shows how the process can run. In that review, a customer wrote: “By far the best experience I have had with a dealership. We have been looking for many years at a new pickup. Have been close several times with other dealerships but each time the dealers lied or tried to sneak extra cost. I found a good deal on their website and they honored that price. My salesman was Lalo and the main finance personnel was Pablo. It was all done remotely as I live 3.5 hours away. We agreed on an out the door price, I put a deposit down, did finance remotely, and rented a one way suv to Houston. Being a Saturday, the only place I could drop a rental off at 6:00 pm was at the airport, so they sent a driver to come pick me up. I still can’t believe the ease of buying a new pickup with them. This was the first time I asked for an out the door price and was given it within 5 minutes through text message. No other dealer has given me this with such ease. Then Lalo went out and took photos and videos and sent to me. Thanks so much Lalo and Pablo for a great experience. My wife loves her new f-150.”

Group 1 Ford of Southwest Houston — and specifically Jeremias Rodriguez — ran a clean deal. No games, no bait-and-switch, no moving numbers around to see if I’d blink. We agreed on the structure ahead of time, and they honored it. I showed up, signed, and drove out. That shouldn’t be rare… but it is. If you’re tired of dealerships playing chess while you’re just trying to buy a truck, go see Jeremias.”
