Been considering one but idk now😢

Hey thanks for sharing. As a previous GT350 owner I can relate to this experience. I bought new 2017, gen 1 voodoo went in 2019. Replaced with gen 2. Then drove it another 4 years. When the factory power train warranty expired I paid to extend it through Ford. Not a car you want to own out of warranty, or if you do just be ready. Alllllll that being said, incredible car. I will most likely buy another one after I’m done with my 911. If the motor blows up I’ll fix it, if it blows up again? I’ll fix it again, and again, IDGF, the car is that good and lives up to the hype. There is no doubt in my mind that in 10-20 years you will see low mileage examples crossing the block at Barrett Jackson for a quarter million or more, the cars are that special.

I got a new zero mile 2022 GT manual $52,000 msrp with 10k mark up 🤦‍♂️$62,000 total. I was looking at 2017 gt350 that was going for $54,000 at 25,000 miles used. I was afraid the used gt 350 would have problems so I didn’t get it. My 22 gt I got 6 year 100,000 mile bumper to bumper warranty and service contract. Plus gap insurance I was pushing $72,000 for a 22 Gt 🤦‍♂️ 3 years later I’m at 46,000 miles with no problems (knocking on wood) Sheez glad I went with a GT premium pp1

Previous owner surely drove the piss out of it. Proper break procedure in was aslo likely ignored.

Awesome video! I was so happy to find out it's right here in WA! Hope to see you on the trails!

Where did you get the suspension?

Stressful? 🤡

Thanks for this video. I had been thinking of picking up a GT350, but I'll drop the idea. I love the concept of the car and they're great when they work, but obviously the execution has been a disappointment.

Where did you get the bed? I want one for mine😳

Had mine until 60k. The air condition went out, the magnaride went out, and just causes you to be paranoid constantly because you’re worried about oil consumption

GETTING A WARRANTY IS DUALLY NOTED

Thank you SO much for the detailed hardware list!

i have a 22 ZL1 myself, but harness sounds like a rodent got to it.

Super sick but the music makes me seasick

I am have a similar mile 2017. Problems glore, Will never ever sell it. Its too much fun. I do not recommend as a only car. My problems are mainly due to fact dealerships don't see many, and I do track day things. I also have a 2020 gt350R When it runs right you will fall in love when you are trying to find a issue thats so bizzare it makes you want to rip your hair out. In my xp major problems will happen early under 12k miles. Its a oppion but I wouldn't buy one that HASN'T been tracked. They seem to have more major issues when babied. The 2020 I got had 3800 miles on it and smelled like a new engine. Biggest advice let the oil temperature and coolant temperature come up before driving.

Personal story here. I had a total engine replacement in my GT350 as well, but I am certain the original owner did not properly break the vehicle in. It would eat a lot of oil, and after 3 oil tests Ford gave me a brand new motor under factory warranty. Now it was my turn to break the engine in the right way. 1k miles, no hard pulls. Consistently variable revs, no highway driving, no gooning anything - this was hard to do since the car was meant to breathe. 10k miles later, not a single drop of oil burned. Those piston rings are completely seated. I hate to say it, but it is highly likely the person you bought this car from did not have the patience to properly break this extremely high strung motor in No other issue for me aside, this is an extremely rewarding car if taken care of like any high performance car should be

I still miss my 350, had a 2016 in red. Amazing sound, crazy fun to drive but burned 1L of oil per 350km’s on average so it had to go unfortunately. Still one of the best handling cars I’ve owned.

Awesome video.

Can u make some soa brackets? I'll take 5

Enjoy it and sell it before warranty ends. I wanted the 2020 gt350 heritage but it's going to be a money pit. beautiful car though.

You had me at the statement "I'm going to go have wings and get drunk cuz this car is going to cost me a million dollars again" BTW, any wife that would support you with anything resembling that statement is a keeper.

That is not a Mustang it's a Shelby

I had a 2016 gt350 got rid of it as soon as I found a 2020 gt350R. So glad I did

Thanks for sharing, I’m loving my base GT even more

You had to own these new........Too many potential problems because of neglect by owners that are unaware of the procedures.. You just dont jump in one of these turn the key and rock...Get a 5.0 GT and if you want fast throw a huffer on it they take forced induction real well.jUST AN ADDED NOTE HAD THEY DESIGNATED 1 GUY IN THE DEALERSHIPS TO GO OVER ALL THE PROCEDURES THE SAME GUY AND MAKE HIM CERTIFIED BY THE FACTORY LIKE THE GERMANS. THERE WOULD HAVE BEEN A LOT LESS PROBLEMS WITH THESE.

Thanks if I guy i will get heavy warranty

Thanks for the video. It just confirms my decision to go with a LS7 Z06 Corvette instead of a GT350. I heard the GT 350s were plagued by numerous problems Gen one and GEN two. I went ahead and fixed my valve guides and changed my harmonic balancer, and all I have is loads of fun with the Z06.

Were can i get ur rework kit?????

Thank YOU SOOOO MUCH!!! I am definitely staying away from these cars. I don't want to sound mean but you own a piece of shit for a car..... I have a gen raptor and a 13 gt500 NO PROBLEM EVER with each. I was seriously looking to get a 350R but not after seeing your video. What you have is basically an early 70s muscle car that has been home built because that is the same experience you get every time you take it for a drive wondering what is going to break now. Best of luck to you

Man I’m considering of getting 2020 or 2019 gt350 but hearing all this bs I feel like the gt500 would be best for me.

I put 30k miles on mine. replaced the Air conditioner twice. thats it. Traded it in and got 46k for it.

Thank you!! Helped me out so much. Best “real world in depth” video I’ve seen on TH-cam. My nb4+ will be here tomorrow. I wonder why more rpm. Wasn’t expecting to hear that. I’ll gladly take it.

mustang was my dream car in general, and gt 350 in particular, especially for 8250 rpm, i was about to sell my v8 8250 rpm audi rs5 and buy gt 350, god protected me for not doing that. thank you for your valuable input

Ok but thats why people should only buy stuff they can afford repair, especially with high performance engines. Its pne thing to afford a purchase but its another to own it. Im financially very well but would still not consider this car because im not that rich that money doesent matter to me at all to keep spilling big checks into a car that i dont really need and its just a weekend car.

I always wanted a gt350 but I couldn’t afford it so a got a 2023 Mach 1 thank god no problems at all

i have had 2 shelby gt350s i still have one now both first gens. These cars need a proper break in period which requires you to follow the instructions in the manual book and whats even more crucial is warming up the car to the right temperatures before even considering of going full throttle. even in the summer when its plus 30 outside i let the car warm up and it takes around 25 - 30 minutes to fully warm up. most people have not followed these 2 procedures and hence the engine issues. i know gen 1 motors with over 90k miles on them with 0 issues. some people have understood this and their cars run just fine.

I just read the headline and I can tell you from my friends' experiences, absolutely NEVER buy a GT350. Ever. The engine will blow up. It's not a matter of "if", but "when". One of my friend's had a GT350R that spun a rod bearing at VIR and Ford refused to warranty it because, get this, he added Ford Performance rear suspension upgrades! No kidding. He even got Ford Performance to issue a letter saying that the upgrades that he performed did not impact the engine, and Ford STILL refused to fix it! Another friend of mine has a "1 of 37" 2015 GT350R. His engine blew up 2 weeks ago. Never, ever, ever, never ever buy a GT350. Ever.

Thanks!…. Great video. Scary stuff😮

Any running videos yet?

wouldd have been better to see that sexy lady drive it around lol

Nice build sir

Alright i will just stay with my s2k and supercharge it. Sounds like less headaches

This is a really great video. Also good to gear a gen 2 video story. No BS, so thank you for sharing the full experience. I have 2016 GT that I treat as a weekend car(bought new), have done probably 10 track days with it. Its pretty solid. I've had the itch to go grab a Gen 2 350R. I know I will absolutely love the car, but man, the risks are so high it seems. If I can get an extended warranty then that's a different story. I've been drooling over the 350 since I bought my GT. I remember in 2020 right before stupid car prices started, there was a brand new 350 track package in Bellevue for 48K....Yes, 48K. I will forever be mad that I didnt buy it.

I'm currently debating a 2016 GT350 with the track package and a Whipple supercharger. The car looks clean with just over 10,000 miles. Do you have any thoughts on running these cars with the Whipple?

Thanks Loved the honesty

So, it sounds like you got a beat on GT350. Did you know how many owners had this car before you bought it? It's not uncommon to have some cars with 4 owners before someone buys it! And that is insane! So, the engine was pulled, then I'm sure the techs cocked up the wiring harness, which is why you needed that replaced after. It's really too bad that you had to deal with all this BS! There are a LOT of GT350 owners out there that have no oil consumption or issues with the car. I think you just got a car that was hammer to fuck first, cleaned up super well then you bought it during CoVid when someone evidently unloaded it, to get out from under the huge monthly payment. This is of course pure speculation on my part, but it's what I think, in my opinion. I think the take away for people looking to buy one of these cars is.... To take a hard look at it, do research on what to look for, check for records, look at how many owners the car had and then go from there. Thanks for the video, shame you had to deal with all those problems.

I was thinking about buying a similar Mustang , but after watching your story and seeing all the other stores about these cars. I decided to stick with my 2015 Toyota Camry V6 that hasn’t cost me anything more than some oil changes & a new battery , and I am at 50K miles. I would say buy a Japanese engineered car going forward . As they seem to make a better product.

Click bait.

I bought a 2015 mustang GT in 2018 from Carmax with the 50 yr anniversary package. It only had 5000 miles on it. The only issue was there was metal corrosion on the hood that had bubble up on the paint. So they painted the hood before I would except the car. 2 yrs later it happened again on the hood. So then carmax payed to replace the hood. Now 2024 I had to pay to have the whole car painted with only 40,000 miles on it. I absolutely love this car and to me it's worth it. Anyways if you own a mustang be prepared to spend money on it.

Wow!!!! Now! That's what I call bad luck.... Hope that is the end of the story best of luck.
