I doubt the dealer will go that low regardless of whether they knew the history of the car or not. There's almost always a point where the dealer will just want to get the car off their inventory and that's typically when they'll take much lower offers. If that's not the time for this car...
There's no Ford OEM paint code for the Shelby factory wheels. Helios did the wheels using that multi step process shown above so it's almost impossible to match 100% if you only need to fix up a wheel or two. You could powdercoat or repaint but it'll never be a 100% match unfortunately unless...
As Catmonkey stated, get the car diagnosed, find out what the problem is, then figure out what you want to do. In an hour or two with a decent tech and the right tools you should have a damn good idea of what the problem is and what it's going to take to either fix it or decide to sell the car...
"Ceramic Pro" is the specific brand of coating the shop is quoting you a price for. However, if you're also looking at Xpel, that's something different. Xpel is a covering that protects the finish from the rock chips. It's like a plastic type covering that the installer puts over certain parts...
I have the Extremes on my otherwise stock exhaust 13. Great sound at idle and cruise but they get rowdy once you're into it. They would be plenty loud with LTs and an off road. I've heard the ATAKs on a friends 14 and I do prefer the sound of the Extremes to those. They're roughly the same as...
In MA, without the cats, by the law, the car fails visual inspection. That's just what it is. It would also fail in NH, by visual inspection, if you don't have cats. Now, are they ways around it? Sure. Personally, I don't like not having the cats in the car. It sucks to drive in good weather...
Great looking car! I was looking at one very similar, but with the PP wheels out of Danbury, Conn. They sold it 2 days before I called on it. Yours is only the second one I've seen in that color combo. Very Nice!
Subframes are fine to lift from. It's when you get into people lifting cars from radiator supports and such that causes problems. Subrframes are part of the unibody when they're bolted in and tight, unlike radiator supports. I need to install some driving light replacement bulbs and do an oil...
Just brought it home this past weekend. All stock save for the hood struts and some replacement floor mats. The original prop rod and mats were in the trunk from the seller along with the original dealer car cover.
6,036 miles when I picked it up!! Seller bought it from a dealer in Ohio in 2017...
