You have performance package wheels. Is your steering wheel all leather or does it have a softer material on the sides? If it has the softer material you have the Performance Package and they must put the BFGs on (summer tires only) to sell it as a CPO.

Nice find.….Congratulations!! ¡Those aren't necessarily P.P. wheels though. Should I say that wheel design is not necessarily indicative of P.P. That wheel was one of 2 options for 2013 and 2014 20" wheel designs. Although probably common with P.P. models don't use that as gospel. Check the build sheet and inside door jamb label.

a few tiny scratchs especially from luggage at the trunk.. gotta claybar polish seal and wax get some cheap floor mats check all filters and stuff

test everything and use plan to get it fixed ..... check to be positive recalls have been done..
but got lucky dealer was sooo slow all month and that day... and luck was able to find low miles, lady driven, florida car

This is way better than the Armada ( only had it 5 weeks) I miss my F350 Lariat ( I traded in on the armada) but the repair bills I do not miss

plus I haven't had to make a car payment all year and this one not due until 4/27 so like a $1700 dollar savings,, didn't have to do brakes or other stuff to Armada like $500 savings, and getting a refund on the Armada 3yr/36 warranty.. so more money and didn't spend the $1500 repair on the F350( just traded it in)
and have lowered payment by $100 a month in all.... so saved myself like $5000 so it was easy to put $2500 down on this it got me the 4yrs/81000 full coverage plan and with the Armada booked at more than the SHO no TAX!! so saved more money same happened going from F350 to Armada

The Mrs has Pirelli Pzero (summer tire on her GT and only the rears seem worn at about 10000miles... go figure LOL

Any body switch to the Allseason tires? does it help or hurt?

I switched my stock goodyear f1's at 2000 miles with all season continental extreme track DWS and really like them. Absolutely amazing in the snow/ice without sacrificing much if any traction on dry pavement.

although mine is white, if i would have ordered instead of off the lot, i'd have got red like the brochure in '10 had. great looking ride & the amazing thing is the whole car buying world doesn't know how good they are as the blue book prices are dirt low. don't think you're going to be able to do what i did to ensure my usage of the sho, since was driving a pony, took the wife out for spin & did a great job of scaring her. good luck with her she's a beaut!!
