Hi everyone, two months ago I posted this regarding a used 2017 GT350 I bought. I ended up returning it because of the low oil level. Thank y'all for all the replies and kind words.

Since then I changed my mind and decided to get a new one to avoid potential issues as I met before. I even hired a car broker to help me find a deal. Eventually the broker found two new 2018s, one with $2K markup and the other with $5K. Of course I said no and luckily I got full refund of the service charge from the car broker. I did some search myself and found that one below MSRP, and the dealership is only 160 miles away. The whole process was very smooth. The sales person and financial manager are the best. Shoutout to Gridley Country Ford. I went to Gridley and drove it back to bay area and even came across a grabber blue GT350 on the way back.

The first thing I did was to have the whole car ceramic coated. I'm really happy with the car and look forward to pushing the startup button everyday. Put 200 miles on it so far, checked oil level twice and haven't seen any consumption.

Here are the pics:

Sweet, Great color combo and great deal. Less than a year ago it was almost impossible to get a GT350 in California without an ADM.

A guy in my office (not too far from you) has a 16 tech pack in the same color/stripe combo, I have a magnetic with blue stripes so I am obviously fond it. The metallic gray shines really nice in the sun.

Hope you can hit the track with it once you break it in. Laguna is not that far away. :wink:

Bonus points for having a Shelby parked outside of a yoga studio. Very California.

Thanks man! I think blue stripe looks better. Look forward to the track days!

I didn't know they changed fobs. That one looks much better than our 15/16's.
I won’t complain as long as there’s a Shelby logo on it. Last time it was a Mustang logo on the fob when I bought a used 2017 GT350.

Thanks you! SF Bay Area.
Congrats, nice to see another Magnetic Shelby in the Bay Area! Time had eased the markup game somewhat. When shopping for mine except for the Morgan Hill Ford Store not one dealership I could find on the entire West Coast would sell for sticker. Of course they were sold out of allocation for the year.

Congratulations - and here's hoping you have zero engine problems, as we share builders (and exterior color)!
