Another update.
The first dealer I called called me back today. It’s the dealer I’ve used since I bought my first new car in 95 (a black mustang GTS). They said bring it by anytime and they’ll put it on the lift and see what’s up. If it’s not bad, they can get parts ordered and handle it. As I’ve said, almost certain it’s not major. The dealer ford called for me called later. They are 2 months out for transmission work. I explained to her that it’s not exactly trans, just cooler and lines and she said if the other dealer can’t do it, to call them back, but she said sounds like they might be a bit quicker if they can get it in.
That said, I’m bringing it Wednesday am. I told her that once I got it there, that’s it, I won’t chance driving again with the apparent leak rate. Getting there should be easy though. I’m going to drop it off and leave. Up to them then. They do have a rental place next door they use. Ford will only pay for a ford rental, or so I’m told. That dealership for sure. I’ll worry about loaner/rental when time comes. I’d be good for a couple weeks, but after that, I’ll need a ride. More importantly to me, I’m paying a monthly note for a gt500. I don’t want to pay that same note for a gt500 sitting at a shop while I drive something else. But I’ll cross that bridge when I’m come to it. For now, I’m glad I have a place to bring it and make progress not months out.
