  1. Getting new tires fiasco

    I let the service manager know I had damage on both front rims. The service manager later called me saying that the technicians said that they noticed the damage on both front tires before they commenced work. However, that is factually impossible because the damaged wheels have a 9" and a 9.5"...
  2. Getting new tires fiasco

    You were right on the money. Just checked the car; I have one 9" up front and one 9,5". The 9.5" was on the left side as expected. Unfortunately they also put the wrong tires on the rim. So now I have one 9" with 255, one 9" with 275, one 9,5" with 255 and one 9,5" with 275. So I can't switch...
  3. Getting new tires fiasco

    If this is indeed the case, I am not going to give up on having them pay for my rims just yet. Over the phone the service manager confirmed that the technicians notice the damage on both front rims prior starting the work. If however they managed to switch up the front and rear tires I can...
  4. Getting new tires fiasco

    That would take a special kind of stupid ;). However it would make a lot of sense, as it would explain how they managed to damage both my front rims. They only damaged one side of the car prior to doing any changes, but then put the wheels back on incorrectly which is why now it appears both my...
  5. Wheel/Suspension shop near Manhattan

    Hey everyone. Long story short; I had my tires changed on my car this weekend by a Ford Dealer in the Hicksville/Levittown area, and they managed to damage my two front rims quite severely damage the suspension or do something wrong during the install because on left turns my front...
  6. Getting new tires fiasco

    As some of you already expected; the dealership is taking 0 accountability on the damaged rims. Since this will turn into a their word against my word game, I will just take this as an expensive life lesson. On the chunking sound, they expect a missing weight in the wheel. I am not convinced...
  7. Getting new tires fiasco

    Thanks all for the replies. Appreciated. I am all on board the "Next time make sure you you check and document everything beforehand; and make sure it is still the same when you pick it up". It's probably just going to be a tough lesson. In terms of reporting it to the service manager however; I...
  8. What did you do to your S550 Mustang today?!

    Today I had my dealer mess up my pristine rims when changing tires.... Of course I didn't notice until I got home. Any ideas on how to touch them up? (If the dealer doesn't take ownership of their mess up)
  9. Getting new tires fiasco

    Ever since I bought my Mustang GT PP earlier last year, I've been pretty anal about making sure it is being kept well. So after having driven almost 4.000 Miles, the rims didn't have a single speck on them. However since I am about to embark on a 3 month road trip throughout the entire US, I...
  10. Road Trip: Mustang GT or GT350?

    We are staying a couple days near Springfield to visit Zion and Bryce. I have put the Narrows in my to-do list. Thanks! Skyline Drive is currently part of the route, and I probably should be able to at Tail of the Dragon in the schedule during our days in Asheville. It seems to combine well...
  11. Road Trip: Mustang GT or GT350?

    Thanks for the insight :). First off, I want to stress that we are not driving from Point A to Point B everyday, the map obviously doesn't reflect it but at all places we considered most interesting we stay two or more days. Also, my wife and I luckily both enjoy driving a lot. We have done...
  12. Road Trip: Mustang GT or GT350?

    Will send you a PM with the links (they are in fact 4 different routes, because the tool I used, roadtrippers.com, only allowed for 60 waypoints per trip) Yes, all seasons is probably the best way to go. Will browse the forum to find some good options. Will certainly start a blog thread by...
  13. Road Trip: Mustang GT or GT350?

    We are now a couple of months further and I am still absolutely loving the Mustang. Have been able to find plenty of nice New England roads to really play around! So far I have put 4500 Miles on the car. However, this topic originally started with my road trip. We have finally finished our...
  14. Road Trip: Mustang GT or GT350?

    Thanks again for the help. In the end I got everything sorted out, from insurance to parking. Picked the car up earlier today and had a nice first trip from Baltimore to New York. And of course some pictures!
  15. Road Trip: Mustang GT or GT350?

    So it's been a month, and I finally got to a decision: I am going with 2017 Premium GT PP. In the end something as simple as price was the decisive factor. I really couldn't justify spending the additional 20k for the GT350 over the GT. Since I won't be financing the car, the 20k I save is...
  16. The Down and Dirty ADM Thread

    Some dealers have no idea how the market is currently. Just got quoted 78,345 on a 2016 GT350 Tech pack! I wished them good luck. I am pretty sure they are not going to sell it for that amount, given that quite some dealers are selling them at MRSP or with minimal ADM (up to 5k).
  17. FS: 2016 GT350 Track Pack 62K OBO

    Do you by any chance have pictures of the interior?
  18. Market is improving

    That is around the price point I am waiting for (54k). Unfortunately this one already sold: http://www.oceanmazda.com/Inventory-Pages/Sold-Vehicle-Page?InventoryId=14134958
  19. Market is improving

    Yeah we are now in a strange situation, where quite some dealers are selling 2016 GT350 tech packs at MRSP, however USED 2016 GT350s are still being priced at a premium. Have been trying to find a used one at a little under MRSP, but so far to no avail. This while I have had quite some new...
  20. Looking at new '16 GT350

    I wouldn't pay over MRSP right now for a 2016 GT350. There are enough dealers around the country already selling them at MRSP. Besides that, on the auction sites you see that even selling them at MRSP is becoming challenging.
