Some times waiting for a warranty and parts is a double edged sword. Clutch repairs should never take that long, especially when the secondary market is so plentiful with quality replacement parts. Hope your back up and running sooner then later.
20’s with low miles and in excellent shape bring the money. Just is what it is. HE’s bring above that. Go check BAT and you’ll get a decent snapshot of what the market is like on these cars. If you’re going to keep what you’re after for quite a while don’t worry about a few grand here or there...
Out of curiosity, are you using oem each time? If so, think I’d go aftermarket. I’m fortunate, and can get hoses made locally that literally never fail. Sucks what so many are dealing with with such a basic part.
No doubt if we’re talking loaded 350’s and R’s, and especially with a lighter R. The last car I ever had that came without ac was an 87Gt with manual windows and a manual. It was real common back then for the Ford dealers to order the LX’s and GT’s without ac. The no ac didn’t last long though, lol.
The collectability of a base R is great for those that want that. No issue’s there, but the useability of the car in hotter climates or even on a track it’s pretty disingenuous to set aside what the ac’s for. The Track Attack cars were run without ac at one point and then it was reinstalled due...
It’s ironic because a happy customer will refer you new ones, but one that had an issue and it was corrected or taken care of will actually make the sales for you simply because how they were taken care of. I still go back to the same dealer(mesa)mostly for trucks, that is out of state simply...
There’s a good way to negotiate and a bad way, obviously. That said it really comes down to someones approach and what they put off. Funny part is most dealers can spot a professional person in the first 30 seconds of an interaction. Conversely they can spot the chip on the shoulder as well...
I haven’t messed with the 500 yet. Any idea how much of a pain it is or isn’t to swap the lines? Any idea if the parts are actually available? Found listings for the lines but the fittings weren’t coming up.
Sucks for you, bunch of crap. I will say this if you were remotely still interested. Me being the …hole I am I’d do there deal, 14 percent and all. And as soon as the car was registered and the title was transferred I’d walk in to my credit union and refi it for 5-5.25. And then those …holes...
So, 2020 350’s that are low mileage and nice bring all the money to. 70’s is the norm. They just didn’t make that many. I had a 2020 regular 350 as well. Fantastic car. One thing that’s good for owners and bad for buyers is they hold there value and still bring over msrp pretty consistently.
A non r Heritage350 just sold on BAT for about 78k with the BAT buyer fee. An HER will be considerably higher. A forum member sold his HER a little while back with, if memory serves me low to mid 20k miles for 80k. That was a steal and went quick.
Now the OP wanting to know if it’s worth it...
