You'll love the car anyways. Its a fun little machine. Since yours is a 16 you should have the updated American engine and no problems. I think the Spanish engine issue is a little overblown considering how many cars are on the road and how few people actually come to this forum.
Theres a big sticker on the front of the engine that tells you which plant it came from when you get ready to look.
2.3 production switched from Spain to US 2 years ago and some parts are still made in Spain and shipped to the US. Late 2015 and all 2016/2017 have US built engines. No one has produced a shred of physical evidence to support claims.of differences between the engines.
We "Valencia Mustang" owners are real happy that you have a Cleveland built motor, Cheers big ears...
I'm aware of that, but still some with blend dates of the same period ... May, June had Spain build engines, that's why I checked.
doesn't matter what you think, no one wants the Spain build version 1, if you get one well you knew you taking a gamble buying first year model car which shouldn't be a big deal if you don't mod and keep warranty. The evidence is clear, much more than normal blown motors are Valencia vs Clevelands that's enough evidence for most people.
