Unfortunately, it's the worst possible time for anyone to sell any vehicle.
- Winter
- Model Year transition
- Specific to the OP, 1st year of ownership
- It's a sports car
- Tariff policies were a contributing factor to previous buyer sentiment and current inventory. There was a surge of...
Ya, sorry about that. I deleted that post after double-checking some things.

DSWs in a 19 inch tire are pretty limited. In a 20 they are more incremental, given you can use the sidewalls offered. So...while DSWs are a great...
Skye had some stickers affixed to the windows, but the odds of saving those was close to zero; there was no way to remove without tearing them to pieces. The dealer did take photos of those before removal.
Inside, I received several build and QC sheets, the ones used by the factory. At the end...
The listing of "7-speed Automatic" could be caused by two things:
- The page option designs (icons) available for their site
- Some people call/consider Dual-Clutch Transmissions automatics. The distinction between the two isn't always understood by the people using the verbiage
The car will...
If a Member or someone you find has access to it, I've read several comments of "Black Book"; this is a service used by dealers to determine trade-in values, what they'd be willing to pay.
For retail pricing comparables, I use Autotrader. It's granular, in search and vehicle features, allowing...
Edit,
"Special Service" and "Police Interceptor" modules. I have read of GOV catalogs for special purpose vehicles from Ford, Chevy, Dodge, etc. They do offer state and GOV departments access to cars and trucks Joe Six-Pack cannot buy. Like LS engines in a Citation. LOL. You get the idea...
You can start tracking the coolant level. Check the overflow bottle once a week, or as often as you feel necessary. The level will vary for all kinds of reasons, but if you see a long-term trend of down, something is leaking, yes.
When the engine is cold to the touch, and with a torch, inspect...
I did some general searches using Autotrader and just Google.
Several dealers have pages on their sites, saying, "Come on in! Sit down and order your GTD!", like it was as simple as ordering a pizza. :giggle:
Five dealers have listings with nothing other than a shell, not even a photo, stating...

For '24s and '25s, starting discounts of 5-10% from MSRP are common in my area.
Checking '26s, discounts of 2-7% off MSRP are on offer, depending on the spec.
Dealer lots of all...

The differences in going from a 30 to a 50 weight oil are not slight. Two reasons for the 30 weight are tighter clearances and low-tension piston rings used in a modern engine.
Changing weights after installing a Whipple...
For those that love the GTD Spirit of America but are a bit budget constrained, MiniGT will offer one in April.

There's also going to be a MiniGT GT3 in a Rolex 24-hr Daytona livery. Some of these are coming...

This is one site which offers Density Altitude readings. You can also check the web page of the closest airport.
Given Winter conditions, several tracks are showing an air density which is typically present at much lower elevations, sometimes...
I was offered something similar for my hood and rocker panel decals.
Protection of decals is an option each person would have to weigh for themselves. No wrong answer. It's purchasing insurance. You weigh the risk of damage against the cost of coverage and come up with a solution you're happy...
Curious, I went out to the Ford site to see what was posted.

Problems with ride height interfering with the electronics are mentioned in this thread. I feel it's worth reading through and being aware of the instance.

Fobs have both active and sleep states.
The fob can go active in two scenarios:
- The device is in motion
- The unit is receiving an 125kHz Low Frequency wake signal
The fob will sleep if unmoved and resting for about 40 seconds; this is to preserve the fob battery.
The car's door handles...
Given enough contrast, a black roof could look killer. A black top on a dark car, the effect would be muted, possibly to the point of appearing poor. But a black roof on a bright lime, orange, blue, white or something akin to those, would appear much better.
Before getting the roof made over...
I know you mentioned jacks and tools, but some things I'd consider must-haves:
