Talk Me Out Of Test Driving A GT350

[Mach 307]

Talk to Granger. That’s where I bought mine. You have to select the lighting and key packages separately though. As an FYI. Ziegler should be able to do it too.

Ford directly offered 3 year 0% financing on my ESP for my Mach which is very cool. I wonder if Granger or Ziegler offers that same package? Last I heard Granger was done with ESP’s on GT350’s. Which originally made me think you couldn’t get one at all.

I doubt he’ll be able to buy a Ford ESP warranty. I looked into getting one for my 2020 and was told no.

Did you go directly to Ford? I was under that impression, but then was told by some that dealers will still do it.

I looked around and was told nope, no more ESP on the 350. Granger said no. Google search said none offered. I was offered some 3rd party one on mine when I got it in January but I do not trust these types. They never want to pay. So, I took a chance and car has been great besides the AC going out. So it’s been a wash. Oil consumption over 4K miles is negligible. So yes, make sure the AC works and not for 5 minutes, keep it on a while. The 350 eats AC systems.

Talk to the guys where you’re going tomorrow and see what they say

@PP0001 Also, it scares the shit out of me to replace the carbon fiber wheels or wing. Out of my tax bracket haha.

Owned 4 R models from various model years and did not have an issue with respect to CF wheel damage but I never tracked any of those units and incurred all my spirited driving on the backroads of South Carolina, Arizona and California.

If you planned to track an R model I would suggest you purchase an aftermarket set of wheels and/or tires that way you could keep the original OEM Cup 2 tires and CF wheels intact but all that sounds easy but comes at a significant cost.

That I did see. I presented that to a few other owners and they said if you call directly, Ziegler for instance will still do it. Luckily this car is still under powertrain til December 2027 under the name “Certified Customer”, so I may be able to just extend, which is way easier.

If I remember correctly you have to call them direct for the warranty since the site does not show it.

The ESP warranty only transfers if the previous owner signs the paper to transfer it. Mine had ESP thst was good till 2027 but not active for me because the person who bought it, has to transfer it to me now. I have no idea who that is.

Fair enough. Just odd because generally on Oasis it’s tied to a name. I believe it may be a Ford Certified warranty rather than an ESP potentially. For instance on Oasis for my Mach 1, the warranty is under my name “John Doe”. Not “Certified Customer”.

EDIT: It’s an FBA not ESP.

Yes in the oasis report for my car I see the coverage but not the customer name. I was going to pay the 50 dollars to transfer it to me, but the person who bought the coverage has to sign it over. And as I said I have no way to get that name or contact info. This is all documented on a Ford website. Ford will not give you that info. I asked.

Makes sense. I looked into this further and this car has a FBA powertrain warranty. 2 years/100k mi. Expires like January 2028. Transferable to each owner. Different than an ESP, didn’t know FBA was a thing.
