still for sale?

Hi All, Sorry for the cryptic title. I am loving the car, however i'm getting a bit fed up with the notchy portions of the transmission. going from first to second there is a real annoying part when the shifter gets to the gate of 2nd gear. I have heard that the blowfish may fix this kind of...

I don't get why the heck they'd accept it if they outsource the actual work.... I don't need a middleman.

Agreed, i'm in the process. I may take it to ford and see if they could inspect it, and if they find it or notice that it looks out of sorts (won't be difficult to see) then I can take that to the shop that outsourced it, and demand a refund, as I'll have to have it reworked elsewhere.

Yea they said they had to redo the body work 3 times. = 6 trips X 25 = 210 miles. Such BS yea right? it's a massive shop, 8 bays, and in my email back for an estimate it's "well of course we can help you fix your car, bring it on by". Guess I'm the idiot for not asking if they do it on...

Sorry for the delay guys. I've been busy with work. I stopped by the shop on Friday and the owner/manager Jason still wasn't there and hadn't returned my call. I emailed him threatening legal action against them unless I received a call in 2 hours. 15 min later I get a call from Jason...

Good point, I'll call my local ford dealer and see if there is anything they can do. It would be nice to see what the RPM's look like the 200 miles. noted, and will for future reference. Yea may take it to Ford and see if they can just run an inspection and diagnostic on the car...

Yea I mean I get 18 ish in my PP in the city. Which is my point exactly, to get the average for the tank down to 17.5 means that the drove it in the 15-16 range quite awhile. Agreed, which I'm not okay with. This is a shop that works on Lambos ferraris etc... doesn't make any sense. Yea...

Yea I'm emailing now, giving 2 hours to resond to my call. That way I have something in writing. I've been instructed to document as much as possible. my EXACT thought. This entire last week it was "oh it'll be ready mid day Monday" then every day from then on "oh we need just one more day...

Yea I should have set the mykey, but knowing it doesn't limit RPM's i didn't, I didn't think it'd ever even leave the lot! But yes the 17 mpg is what really upsets me, you can't take back 214 hard miles. Agreed, I left my message in a very polite term, that all he needs to do is justify the...

How would you do that? making sure it all is in good condition? Bill was right over $1100 for the body work. I appreciate the advice. I agree, and that's why I'm so upset, it seems like they got a badass rental for a few weeks, and then made me pay for it... I'm also worried about the future...

yea I mean this is my first real world purchase, it's my baby and it bothers me that someone would abuse my car and my trust. Good call. Will be upgrading security and setting up "MyKey" for any further repairs.

That's the plan. Houston mustang FB group, yelp, and then BBB if they still don't fix it.

Yea, I assume they'll come back with "well our body shop is not on site" which I was never told, and to justify the miles, it'd have to be 35.6 miles away (6 round trips to fix it 3 times). Yea that's how I'm feeling, definitely a joy ride which is just ridiculous. Yea clutch seems to...

Haha maybe more than that? I'm at 1/4 now, and I had used like 40 ish when I dropped it off. Idk but if you're gonna hot rod around in my car you could atleast be smart enough to fix the gas to where it was... In the process of doing so. still awaiting a response from the head schmuck

Okay thanks for the responses, I was beginning to think I'm going crazy. Annoys me that they'd take advantage of young people with decent cars, and who the hell wouldn't notice more than a half tank of gas AND the mileage..... Another member in Houston said he saw my car on Thanksgiving (The...

Hey all, Looking for some help and advice for my situation. I recently took my car into a "reputable" shop, they quoted me 4 days to fix a crease in my quarter panel. they had to re-do it 3 times, and after 17 days they completed the body work. When I went to pick it up, I viewed the car in...

You da man, I appreciate it. I'm in the FB group if you guys are as well, I'm the only Brice I think.

Yoo one of you guys have this? I talked to one of the other members about trying his MGW, but I'd probably be more inclined to do this, as it's a bit cheaper and easily installed. If one of you doesn't mind, I'd appreciate to test it out as well, as I'm located in NW houston with you guys.

Yea I posted a question about a strange smell after hard driving and got that it was the clutch. Im the same way, don't burn it or anything, can drive as well. It will really piss me off if it fails or whatever the guy above is talking about. The consensus of my post, was that the guys said...
