I purchased it mainly for the warranty. I supercharged my last mustang and I was always nervous about something blowing up. Thought the saleen with a supposed 3 year warrenty was the more responsible way to go. Now I'm not so sure.
Well.... Ive posted my problems on these two Saleen specific forums.

Guess what, they shut one down and completely deleted the other. I would not trust either one of these or a word they say. They are clearly in Saleens pocket and do not...

Haha, I figured the same but, he has done nothing but deny the fact that they shipped something with problems saying that it passed their quality control so it is fine. Even after my dealer tried to convince them and I supplied a Ford Authorized Body Shops statement saying its their...
This actually drives me absolutely mad. Doesn't hurt anything but come on, have a little pride in your work sticker guy.
The dam thing isn't centered, first thing I see when getting into the car.
The shift knob also needs some loctite to fix its alignment issue.
Haha, turns out I only have good one picture that my wife took. All my other pictures are problem pictures.
I'll get some pictures tomorrow, it need a bath first
I honestly like its look, they did very little to the car cosmetically, but its fits my simple tastes.
I am finding more and more comfort in the fact that Saleen basically just bolts on other manufactures parts. Im kinda thinking I basically just overpaid for the install haha. I really wanted that warranty though.
Kenne Bell I believe is responsible for the entire supercharger setup including...
Look what just showed up. Saturday overnight delivery that had to be pricey. Could these 4 little shims really be the fix to the problems I've been having for months? Man do I hope so, I will find out Monday, THANK YOU KENNE BELL!
Update on belt and pully noises.
I decide to call kenne bell directly to see if I can make any progress. 1 minute into explaining my issue the support guy goes "yea, we have a shim kit for that, whats your address I will get one sent out today"
Holly shit, my local dealer and I have been...
The suspension parts the the yellow label is just springs. You can buy them for about $400 off their website.
I bought it for one - warranty and two the kb whine, was a nostalgia thing for me growing up then the termies were screaming.
I read and read before ordering. Couldn't seem to find any current information on the cars just info from a couple years ago. Also read rumors that an old owner had taken over and turned things around.
The main reason I ordered one was because they GUARANTEED a two week turn around. I figured...
So far in my opinion this must be the instructions in the saleen employee handbook for handing customer complaints/questions.
Step 1. Deny, deny, deny (no matter how big or small is issue)
Step 2. Place blame on someone else (we suggest Ford or one of their dealers)
Step 3. When given...
Well, guess Derek is also the Facebook guy too. Wonder if he also builds the cars and delivers them, that would explain why they are building them so slow.
Seems like there are about 3 people that work there. I always get transferred to Derek.

I've definitely considered it. I've been reading the Magnuson Moss Warranty that seems to apply to this situation. In Saleens Warrenty Policy it even claims they warranty all these things. I reported it in 2 day of having the car, would have been one but I am horrible at taking photos and it...
I was considering a black label too but thought another $20k for a body kit was a bit too much for me. I'm glad I didn't go with one now if I'm having paint issues on 100% of my painted parts I wonder how the black labels are looking like.
Yep, my local dealer became a Roush Dealer shortly after this issue with Saleen, I test drove one of their RS3's much better fit and finish.
The tune on the RS3 was much more drivable too. The Saleen likes to surge and is not smooth. But the whole loosing $7,000 on a car I only drove for 2000...
Haha, given the number of times it been in for the same issue I might be getting close the the lemon law taking affect.
I think they were counting on me giving up also, but I'm a pretty stubborn guy, I work to hard for my money to have a company like Saleen rip me off.
Mechanical issues
Well I'm driving along, I have about 400 miles on the car, start hearing a ticking noise, it gets worse overtime, start hearing belt noises. It started mainly on cold startups but got to the point it always made the noise.
I take it into Ames Ford, they keep the car for a...
Agreed returning of personal property, items missing out the the car.
When I selected the donor vechicle, I clearly overlooked the leather color, it say ceramic. For some reason in my mind I thought it was black.
I get the car and shit, its white leather. The car is scheduled to be picked up...
