I'll be there the second the car comes in. I hate dealers.

If the car is not sold yet, isn't it the dealers property?

They can do whatever they want with it

Sure, but I'd hope they wouldn't encourage this kind of behavior. Ford even recommends not to run the car hard for the first few miles of break-in.

One of my fears as well. Luckily my sales manager is very professional. The rail yard is about 20 minutes from where the dealer is and he said as soon as he finds out the truck is on the way with the car he will call me and I will watch it be unloaded

It looks like they drove by Midway Chevrolet on Bell Road in Phoenix. The Ford dealer in that area is Bell Ford.
Very good job detective. Shout out to the Waffle House on the corner. :cheers:

Does sound like he hits the rev limiter in first.

ask him if you both can go pick it up from rail yard since the truck drivers keep loading them wrong and have messed up the front and bottom more then once and seems to be loaded wrong over and over.

i can almost guarantee you if you weren't there for the delivery of your car it was driven by multiple sales people. I listened to the sales guys talk about taking out the cars(they've had 2-3 350s) for a spin before the owner got there to pick it up when i was buying my GT

It reminds me of the 1990 Corvette ZR1 recall. They had a rash of mysterious engine failures, camshafts, I think. They traced it back to the asshole who was driving them on/off the transporter.

Dealership owns the car not the salesman that can't afford the damage he might be doing, let alone the whole car. Its just irritating because they could cause potential future failures, which ford will refuse to fix because someone but a CAI on the car.

edit: Also people buy new expecting this to have never happened to the car... If they wanted some abused mustang they would buy used
