why is it a turd? What's wrong with your car?

It's weird, the 05 SSSC I owned, had a 24 page (not joking) history of warranty claims/fixes for stupid stuff breaking/replaced.

My 09 SSTC has had the universal cobalt power steering recall and one headliner clamp adjusted. I need to replace the battery as it doesn't hold a charge all that well anymore, too much music left on in my car too loud while washing/drying/waxing the car...I learned my lesson and now have a shelf system installed in the garage at home,

However, my cousin and his 2010 SSTC have had multiple warranty claims and issues.

It just seems like these cars are either problem childs or problem-free. Odd

Oh just small things keep adding up... Lately the sun or moonroof whatever started rattling, and the stupid fake chrome interior door handles are flaking off already, just had another recall fixed while my intercooler was broken, blah blah blah

So.... anyone have any issues with sensors when it gets really cold? I've had some weird ass issues, like my airbag light staying on, my TPM system saying it's not working, and my remote start not working from time to time. ******* pissing me off...

It's because it's a base model.

I think you're gonna pay more than 4k for a clean 400whp Fox/SN95.

Some might, but not me I like foxs but not ones people already have done up and want $ for. I guess I like rolling chassis or stock ones, kinda like a blank canvas ready for you to make what u want out of it

Foxes aren't worth much, even built. I see built ones go for like $10k tops.

I mean you can by low 9 second beautiful turbo drag radial fox's for 10k... and it might cost you $4k to get that power if u want to buy over priced things, but one persons lost is anothers gain, nothing holds value after u buy it

I suppose. But my Little B has a Mustang, we just rebuilt the engine over the summer, did GT-40P heads, XE270HR Comp Cam, he had the engine bored out 0.030", and everything hot tanked, honed and cleaned. It's got Megasquirt, Long tubes, an H pipe and Bullets, along with a bunch of suspension goodies from the previous owner. He also sanded the whole thing down, and painted it Competition Orange, himself. Chrome GT-500 rims...you might see it running around on Woodward, but there's no way he'd sell that car for 4k, and that's not even 400whp.

I'm still on the fence about it. I don't want to throw insurance back on my car and then not get to drive it for another 2 months.
