Hence 'caveat emptor'. I agree that the OP probably doesn't have a case, but that doesn't excuse the dealer from unethical (but not necessarily illegal) practices. Such a major issue like an engine replacement would make me think twice.

I agree, but that's not my point. Unless you personally know the history of the car there's always that doubt. Why would someone buy a car without knowing the circumstances of a major repair? What if the car had come off of rental service where abuses are common? I'd want to know why the...

Been thinking about this one since it was first posted. If I was considering a used car and knew that the engine had been replaced, the first thing that'd come to mind is that the car might have been abused. I'd be concerned about the trans and rear as well andI wouldn't take the chance. I'd...

If I can't delete that spoiler with the PP option on a 'vert, not getting the PP will be a huge disappointment.

Not trying to be disingenuous or sarcastic, but if that's typical for your area and/or your specific circumstances (age, record, loss history, etc) then that's your price of admission. Your options are to move, drive an older less expensive car, or drastically reduce all of your auto coverages...

I chuckle when I read insurance related posts on this forum and other Mustang and car related forums to which I belong. We spend $30-$70K (give or take) on our Mustangs. Many of us drop hundreds more on mods, some thousands more, all without batting an eyelash. Yet we quibble over what is a...

There's always someone who might have more info than what gets posted. And yes, I have read it. I clearly stated that I saw something about the spoiler delete but couldn't find the post. There are over 220 pages. Thanks for the insightful input...dude.

I'm planning on an '18 GT 'vert. I want the PP and some other goodies but don't want the spoiler on a convertible. I thought I read that 'spoiler delete' can't be had with the PP but I can't find the thread. Any word on this that this is confirmed?

I'm thinking of NOT doing any mods, or very minimal adds at least. Blasphemy, I know. One possible exceptions might be the exhaust. I'd like to sample the active exhaust first...if it's not pleasing enough then I won't order that option and wait for aftermarket axlebacks instead. If I can...

I was one of those complainers. The S550, at least back then, was underwhelming. It took a while but I grew to like the 15/16/17...even thought about trading my '14 for a '16 DIB 'vert last year but I got cold feet though. I guess it still wasn't compelling enough. The '18 refresh is...

True story.... I normally won't take my 2014 to 'soccer mom car speedway', otherwise known as Walmart. But last year on the way to a show I needed to stop there. I parked in an almost empty lot far, far from the store with no cars near me at all. When I came out I looked off in the distance...

I'm anxious to see OF in person on a 'vert. I was fooled by Triple Yellow which I thought could be the color when it was introduced. But in my opinion it looks much better on a coupe than a ragtop. If I like it on a convertible I know I'll be torn between an 'in your face' color like OF, or a...

Having retired in 2014 after a 34 year career as an auto claims adjuster, most of it either in the field as an adjuster or inside as a total loss/salvage specialist, I'm in complete agreement with the above. And as far as credit history is concerned, there is in fact a correlation between...

One of the primary rating factors, at least here in NJ, is one's credit rating. Regardless of miles driven or a spotless MV record, if you show pattern of poor credit and late payments, you're a much bigger risk and will pay accordingly.

That's assuming the dealer reported it. Carfax isn't the end all to be all and is only as good as the information that someone else provides. As far as I know, dealers, or independent body shops in the case of an accident, are under no obligation to provide damage or mechanical replacement...

Wimbledon White as a regular paint option would make me very happy.

My '14 GT 'vert is garaged, but it's no queen. Bought new in May 2014, it's got 18K, never seen snow, and the few times it's been rained upon is when I'm caught in an unexpected shower. Those are the exceptions and as long as it's dry and there's no snow/salt on the roads, it gets driven...

I'm Tom, age 65, and have been a lurker here for several years. In May 2014 I retired and treated myself to a new '14 triple black GT Premium 'vert, 6spd and 401A black/cashmere interior. I was also in the middle of a divorce. It was good trade. At the time I missed the cut off for ordering...
