  1. just do your homework just because a vehicle has a salvage title does not mean its a piece of crap. i know a few local guys who flip them. they own bodyshops and use correct parts etc. just doing the work themselves saves thousands that the insurance companies didn't want to pay. they buy the cars cheap at auction and rebuild them. if you are really considering one. ask for records and find out of the seller did the repairs also take the car to a independent local bodyshop or mechanic for a once over if you do it right you can get a great car for short money and get many years out of it

  2. Here's a thought.....

     

    I've heard that ford used the aisin transmission on the sport to handle the extra hp and torque of the 3.5.

     

    Wondering how the 6F35 will hold up with the increased torque of the 2013 turbo??

    wellll since its a boat anchor now it will remain just that. my car has NEVER shifted right and most likely never will. i just hope it blows up before 60k so i can get a new one (that probably won't be any better) the continued use of this trans will deter me from buying anything its mounted in. its piece of crap design

  3. thanks! it seems to be behaving right now

     

    hmmm i was afraid of those fuel fillers.

    my problem is i drive the hell out of it its 6 1/2 months old and has almost 16k on it. now i am battling a rattle the dealer can't find which will require another trip in. as for the trans at this point i am going to let it grenade itself and hope its under 60k if its over 60k i will just get a lawyer and my receipts for the 15 visits for trans problems.its new trick is to randomly stall out on left turns. its done it 4-5 times now. i have never been so disappointed in a vehicle in my entire life.

  4. depends on the rim but usually not. most are not even painted at all. standard wheel cleaner will remove 90% of the stuff that sticks to it.

    my 18" edge rims were but my 17" stock SEL rims were bare metal so its a toss up with ford

  5. the custom work on the stock rims for my car is DONE! did it in the spare time between customers jobs but in total 6 hours of taping and bmw black sapphire paint (very close to my tux blk) later the OEM SEL wheels are transformed into BAD ASS
