Hey Guys,
Considering a 2004 Mustang GT 40th Anniversary but there's some issues with the car that my be a deal breaker. I was originally looking for a Terminator but I came across this and thought it might be worth looking into.
Here is the car:

I'm new to the Mustang scene but not new to the modding scene in general. I'm coming from an 08 Mitsubishi Evo X that was fairly well modded and tuned. This Mustang looks to have a fair amount of upgrades according to the description including a Kenne Bell SC, brakes and suspension work.
So far so good until I called the dealership and was informed that while at the dealer lot the motor was blown. I asked what happened and the salesman explained to me that "this is warm weather car and when it was started in the cold weather the motor simply blew." So there is one big red flag right there. The salesman also stated that the dealership was rebuilding the car and putting all the mods back on. I asked who was going to tune the car after the work was completed and he really didn't have an answer.
I'm not in a rush to get this or any car since this will be a summer car only but I thought I'd ask the community if this would be worth pursuing or best to walk away from. I take everything any dealer says with a grain of salt so i'm not too concerned with the half-ass answer I got as long as the car is put back together properly.
Any and all opinions are welcome and I appreciate your input.
Right now I have an email into the dealership requesting a list of all the mods on the car and who tuned it originally as well as the real reason the motor blew up. I also asked who would be tuning the car after all the work is completed.
I'll update this thread once I hear back.
Thanks again!
