Buying a GT350 or 24'GT-DH

[bnightstar]

Ok, actually I thought this was a crash with a wall in a parking or something, but was too high


In 2019-20 models you can also see this panel gap, maybe smaller…

First get the VIN number. Second paste it in google see if any copart photos will come out. Next use the VIN to get a CarFax since the car is imported from states it should have a CarFax look at it. If nothing concerning then consider buying it. Never Ever buy an US Mustang without doing the first 2 things. In Europe almost all of the US cars are copart cars because it's easier to fix and remove the salvage title. You can get a great car but you can get a lemon. Having in mind that a GT350 even lower years is a 60 000 euro car risking that money without a 35$ carfax is a big gamble.

Second GT350 vs Dark Horse the GT350 is amazing car but the Voodoo is actually not reliable and super expensive (20 000$+) but the sound that thing make and that 8250 rpm red line is all that matter. The Dark Horse in Europe will be very different than the American Dark Horse. We will only get Non-Handling Pack examples and rumour has it it will be only 449 hp. So you are better of going after a left over Mach 1 than a Dark Horse.

With that been said if I were you I would go look into the Mach 1.

but the Voodoo is actually not reliable

This is the only part of your post I read and I'm offended, sir! Rabble, Rabble!

Yeah this really is debatable but the early years GT350's are worse than the newer ones as we all know.

Without a doubt, “we all know”.

Don't jump on me I know I'm in the GT350 section. I have a friend of mine who's first GT350 lost it's engine, the second one got sold and now he has order for a Dark Horse. This engines are not exactly bullet proof.

OP if the car is already in Europe and you have no warranty support, I’d consider passing on that 350 (even though I’d take a 350 over a Dark Horse any day) unless you can source a new hood (OEM or aftermarket) as that paint bubbling is only going to get worse. As a few others mentioned, respraying the hood isn’t going to solve the issue, it’s an issue with the aluminum itself.

Is in Europe. I’ll try to ask in Ford Spain and some importer business about it, send a hood from the states… uf

Maybe you should stop speaking for those of us who actually have a GT350 and return to the GT forum.

Very rude of you. I was trying to help OP. Hope you enjoy your GT350 and doesn't rattle itself to death as stated in earlier posts.

I stay in my lane and don’t comment or offer an opinion on things I don’t have first hand knowledge of. Voodoos blow but why, due to engine design issues or owners lack of care issues? How many of each is not known, so to say what you said was based on what? No engine is bulletproof if it isn’t maintained properly.

Don't waste your breath my friend... just ignore it. This happens all the time to us GT350 owners.

Did you ever put it on track if not I rest my case

If he doesn't track it, then the engine isn't reliable? I'm not sure you have causality nailed down there.

He's not inherently wrong, but has to continually qualify his post.

So, you're saying high-revving track focused cars can possibly consume oil and go pow. I'm for one shocked!

Ummmm…what?
