I drove the 4 hours to look at this car. Wasn't overly impressed. The asking price is $42,900 at this dealership. It was listed for $35K a few weeks prior to this dealership acquiring it from a Ford dealership in Texas. 10' paint looked pretty good. Up close inspection showed a lot of fisheyes, runs in the paint, bad over spray in areas. It was "presented" on the phone as a rust free car. Not so much if you look in all the nooks and crannies. Driver's side frame for the front bumper "shock" was split from rust, but was coated in black undercoating. It was obvious the rust was sprayed over on this car to hide it. I probably believe the mileage is correct and when you google the VIN, it clocked a couple hundred miles in the last 2 years. The pics of the interior having clear protective plastic on the internet makes me believe the interior is still original. However, they did not have those protective covers, my guess is they were throw away at some point between transactions. Sold at Mecum in 2020, wound up at a Ford dealership in Texas, now listed for sale at an independent dealership in Missouri. My thoughts were buyer's remorse and it keeps changing hands. Transmission shifted way to harsh in 2nd, engine very ticky (hydraulic lifters?), idled very high, A/C did not work and neither did heat, but did blow slightly warm, windows did not meet up properly when rolled up/closed, and the list goes on. Really disappointed as it looks great online. Attepted to negotiate price, but they are still too high IMO. They offered to "wholesale" it to me for $37,500. My search continiues....3F03H240976
