Hey guys, I just bought a 2017 GT350 with 17k miles last week. Drove it back 4 hours from Tampa, Fl. and I am in love with this car. Glad to join the Shelby Fam!

I came from a Civic Type R that I had for a little over a year but before that I owned a 2017 Mustang GT, definitely missed the V8.

Congrats on the new car, she’s a beaut! Be sure to check out the “GT350 Basics” sticky.Sage advice in there.

Almost the same line up as yours!! Owned a 2017 Mustang GT Premium and a 2019 CW Type R. Just trade the GT for a 2017 AG GT350 with 22k miles on it 2 weeks ago.

Enjoy the car bro!

Nice ride, I also have a 17 350, I had some issues at first, which I attribute to the previous owner beating on it and not taking care of it (then the dealer botching a few things) but I'd never give on up on this car. As others have said, the pure enjoyment of driving it is something else... My fiance even wants to go on cruises randomly just to hear the exhaust.

Wow sorry to hear about the issues. If you don’t mind me asking what were those issues?

Transmission issues when it arrived from out of state (I am in FL but bought it in AZ and it was shipped to the dealer). Their inspection even documented the noise coming from the transmission. It was then in the shop for 2 months and misdiagnosed as some internal components such as bearings and whatnot, I get it back and it's making the same noise. So now they order a brand new transmission, it's there for another month and then fixed.

Dealer dented the rear quarter panel as well, still has not fixed it... They also did an oil change that was "complimentary", however that was not the case as I saw it was deducted from my maintenance plan. Not only that, I heard metal on metal noises coming from the engine, I check the oil and it's bone dry. A tech eventually came out and had to put in 4.5 quarts in to bring it back up to normal.

They also are replacing the alternator and both rear wheel bearings (I drop it off this coming Monday). While it's there they are going to do a balance test and see if there's any performance issues with the engine, if that's the case I get a brand new engine. The general manager is giving me 4 months worth of car payments/insurance payments to comp me for my lost time, they are also fixing the dent while it's there too.

All in all, the car is awesome, it's the dealer I have had issues with....

Great looking car! Welcome to the club, it really is a car that will make you smile just driving it. Have fun and if you have the chance get it on a track (or at least curvy road!)
