I've just been using one of the strut bolts. Seems to work fine.

Took mine out on Monday and gave it a wash afterwards. Might get a chance on Saturday too.

I bought a new 2012 GT/CS that sat on a dealer lot for 1.5 years. MSRP was 47.5 and they sold it to me for 28. Granted it was a GT not a GT350, but they were really desperate to move it.

Do they even check for tuning during the Ford CPO process?

I use a bracket that attaches to my grille. It doesn't cause any damage to the car. The way I see it if I do not have a front plate then there is a non-zero chance of being pulled over for not having a front plate. Same reason I do not tint my windows. I want to minimize my chances of...

I can also recommend this bracket. Have had it since I bought the car and have no complaints.

Ah okay, thank you! I am also in Maryland. How does it work here? Just wait and it comes in the mail?

I paid off the car loan. On a related note, what happens now? Last year when I bought the car I received the title from the DMV and it lists the bank on it at the bottom. Do I have to go to the DMV to update that? Or does a new title just get sent automatically? Never had a car loan in the US...

Nothing beats the challenge of driving an MT-82 for 6 years (especially in winter at -40) :crackup: On the plus side it taught me to shift like a fancy Nancy using just my fingers and letting the guides do the work.

I am as OCD as the next guy. But if you intend to drive the car then you will pick up scuffs and scratches on those plastic trim pieces regardless. Now I understand the desire to be THE person to cause those scratches and not have scratches on a newly purchased car, but they will re-appear. It...

Just don't let those SC2s freeze or there is a high probability they will crack and be ruined. 10 miles is 10 miles but hopefully the drive itself does not take too long. Also do not let it sit outside the dealership in those freezing temps. Make sure it is brought inside right away.

Can you not change the default start-up settings with Forscan?

I would honestly be more concerned about spraying my car with a "salt neutralization fluid" than I would be about driving my car in salty conditions, especially in OPs case where there is absolutely zero evidence that his car has ever seen salt to begin with. Often these types of things cause...

My personal opinion is that if you are not going to drive the car then it is pointless to keep it, unless keeping it in the garage and ensuring it is in perfect condition makes you happy (which I acknowledge it does for some people). I used to be in that camp actually but then I started feeling...

I don't have any cold weather experience with the GT350. However my previous Mustangs regularly experienced cold start temps of -25C and below in the winter. I waited for the cold start revs to come down (sometimes 5 minutes or longer depending on the temperature) and then drove while keeping...

You are talking about a modern vehicle, not a Fiat from the 1980s. Even if it had been driven in the salty brine a few times, the long term consequences of that are negligible. I drove my previous two Mustangs all year round back in Canada, including the briniest of brine, and the only rust I...

If you go down the internet rabbit hole regarding GT350s you will see oil consumption issues pre-2019, and random engine failures post-2019. Usually problems are amplified on internet forums because generally people do not post threads about perfectly functioning vehicles.

Is it possible to have the dealership take the car to an inspection shop of your choice prior to purchase? That way you will at least have some piece of mind. Get them to include it in the price of the car.

If I had to guess I would say military guys who shipped their cars over while stationed in Germany or elsewhere in Europe.

On my 2012 GT I had driveline vibration issues. At one point I could only feel it in the steering wheel. Harmonics can be weird sometimes.
