Interesting question / mso

[gtjoey]

Guys, if I come across a car STILL ON MSO....and buy it does the warranty start 3 years from now, I thought from the old indy pace car corvette days there was a cap or limit to mso....
Was it 10 years? just asking as someone has an itchto by a REAL beater driver........:biggrin gtjoey1314

This was addressed in an earlier thread. I believe Ford started the clock on all of them no matter the circumstances.

Herb is correct and I'm the one that started the thread a while back. Additionally, it is possible that a private party can buy an MSO car and the selling dealer starting the warranty without the purchaser's acknowledgment. MSO sales are typically held in tact when its a dealer to dealer transaction or sometimes a dealer to corporation/transaction. My Heritage is on MSO, 150 miles, unregistered with an expired warranty.

Sam is correct.... but,

I purchased a car Ford dealer/to dealer..........I was told the warranty started on the transaction date........did not matter if reg. or not......so we got 1 year left Joey.......

I got my car with an MSO. If I had kept her in wrappers I would have made a profit less storage costs, but then again I would have lost out on the use of the car and meeting a lot of other owners. I know I made the right choice.

The dealer started the warranty on my car as soon I placed a deposit for it. :thumbsdow It didn't leave the dealer's lot for another 2 weeks. In the end it didn't matter since the extra two weeks of warranty would have done nothing for me; the car is built "Ford Tough."

Dealers are not stupid, its the people that work for dealerships that are the idiots.

At least the ones that are profitable and still in business.
