What would you think this modded GT 500 is worth?

The add reads like typical dealer puffery. 10k for wheels and tires? Don’t look like carbon fiber to me, or magnesium.

The Warranty I'm not sure if its gone already, my service guy I had this convo with him awhile ago and his answer to me was they have to prove that the mod caused or contributed to the failure, dont know if the tuning kills it point blank or not upfront dont know just passing what i was told along.

If you blow something major, Ford will look into the pcm and they will know it has been tuned. If the problem is major enough, you will have to prove that your tune had nothing to do with the failure. Good luck with that. I've only seen one case where that was the scenario. You'll be looking at lawyers and lots of money proving your case. That is why I dont tune, because if I pop a 25K engine and a 30K trans, I dont want to be on the hook for it.

Your gains are not worth the risk.

Thanks again for everybody’s input like I said I’m going to pass on the car I think everybody’s concerns are well thought out and certainly warranted even though I did talk to the original owner like one of you said
“let this be somebody else’s problem! “ I’m going to tough it out and look for a stock one and I may have found a 2021 in FBP w/ standard seat etc at 91k

Just make the purchase understanding that if the motor pops at any given time you will be out a whole lot of money. If your ok with this make the purchase. Also the mileage the dealer put on the car would concern me.

Pipe dream, ants in the pants.I ask myself what mods would the 500 need? Suggest OP look at the 500 closer learn what is stock and what is not "Ricardo seats" are not a mod.

Happy hunting..

I looked at this TX car as well, but was turned off by the CF hood. I am fine with a painted black roof, but the dark hood on a white car looks awkward to me. The lack of a warranty was also a show stopper.

I am glad the OP decided to pass on it, as there is a reason it has been sitting for so long.

Aftermarket warranty perhaps ?

Aftermarket warranty perhaps ?

Will an aftermarket warranty cover the mods listed for this car?
