Possibly buying GT350 today, any last minute advice?

[FirstGT]

Hopefully the owner's manual is in the glove box and if not I suggest that the dealership should be able to provide you with a 2018 GT350 owner's manual at no cost assuming that you are dealing with a Ford dealership?

What color is this vehicle and does it come with OTT stripes or a Black painted roof?

Like you I am not a fan of clear bra's or PPF for that matter but understand and appreciate why other enthusiasts want them on their vehicles.

Would you be able to remove the clear bra from this vehicle assuming that some OTT stripes might not be involved?

If you are interested in the 2018 GT350 production numbers just let me know and will provide them to you for this vehicle?

Yes OTT stripes, so I'd imagine clear bra might be issue then. I have a couple solid leads already for wife's car for detailer so maybe I'll see what they say

He's buying it from a Ford dealer. They should be able to help him out on this type of stuff, for sure.

Yup, this ^^

Carfax shows regular service intervals so hopefully OASIS backs that up


Thanks everyone for your input. I'm trying not to get too excited as it's not a done deal but I'm looking fwd to it. I looked at car originally Wednesday and was already looking mods up that night.

Stripes aren't an issue with PPF. Mine has PPF, they make the kits where the stripes are done separately instead of 1 whole hood piece. Essentially the hood is 5 pieces, left hood, left stripe, center, right stripe, right hood (obviously same with the rest of the car - roof, trunk etc). It's better doing it this way so it doesn't lift up on the edges of the stripe over time with one whole piece.

Good to know. Thanks!

Hello; This likely will not apply to a car from a Ford dealership. I have been following some threads about problems with tuned used Mustangs. Some have had severe issues. I started a thread asking how to learn or know if a used car has a tune.
Best answer so far is to try to get a dealer (Ford???) to check.

Good luck and enjoy if you do the deal.

I traded in a 21 C8 Corvette for a 19 GT350 last year. While everyone else thinks I made a mistake, it was a great decision. The GT350 is a raw and visceral car. I couldn't be happier with the 350. If you get a chance to track it, you have to do it. The car is amazing on track, especially with some Steeda suspension upgrades. Pick up sway bars and the stop the hop kit and the car rides on rails.

I think everyone likes the gt350 over a c8. Or at least they should!

The only issue with these cars is seeing the types of doofus social media influencers who own them. They are a great car and every time you get in it to drive, you'll feel like it's your first time. As someone said, if it has a warranty, buy it with no regrets.

C8s are not my cup of tea looks wise. And the non z06's motors are so boring and uninspiring, I'd much rather have a 350.

I'd definitely want to sort out any questions about the exhaust pipe before buying. I'd ask the dealership to explain what's going on, and if I wasn't sure about their answer, I'd get an independent mechanic to check it out. It's a good way to avoid problems or surprise repair bills later on.
Hopefully I'm not too late to chime in

Since it has a warranty, if it feels good on the test drive, buy it.

Just don't put any track stickers on it.

Indeed

Looks better, sounds better. Yeah, GT350 for me as well.

Just some plastic or similar that melted to pipe

I have a buddy at non Ford dealer offering warranty for 72/72000 for 2500 from alpha warranty. Any one have info on them by chance?

Zeigler Ford looks like 2500 for 36/30000

Car comes with 3 month 4k miles from dealer

I'd looked in earlier in the week and just confirmed again, only shows 2021 and up. unless I'm doing something wrong.

I'll PM the sponsor directly though and see what they say. Thanks for the input!

Paperwork signed. My bank didn't get loan back in time so waiting on that then she's officially mine.

Brand new pilot super sports installed yesterday as well
