I think back to the old muscle car days. Those things really were a pile of garbage by today's standards. But by yesterday's standards they were hot stuff. You got a whole 12-month $12,000 mi warranty. Then you got to put a set of points in it every two thousand miles. Then you had the bias ply tires that would get a flat if you went over a sharp Rock. Every one of those cars had well used jacks. but we expected that so nobody complained about it.
Here I am thinking about buying a used 2011 GT500 with 50,000 miles on it and not too worried about it.
The Ops car died and I know how I would feel if this happened to me. But as stated earlier with a brand new long block and Ford being concerned about making sure you're happy it's likely the engine will have been well examined before sent to the dealer. That's a good thing. and if you ever turn around and sell it you can explain exactly what occurred and it's likely you will get a few thousand less for it. But if a guy like me buys it would say 20 or 30,000 miles on it I wouldn't be concerned a bit. and this is real life because I do stuff like that. Just not looking for a GT350 right now. I think you're going to be fine.
