Newbie With a 2011 SHO

[rickoshay]

I am a new owner of a 2011 SHO and looking forward to learning more about this car here on this forum. So far I am pleased with it, about 23 mpg, drives and rides well, and much quicker than I thought it would be! I hate to say but I think it is as fast or maybe faster than my old 67 Skylark with a big block! I am the 2nd owner, it has a lot of miles (184,***) but mostly road miles between SC & Pennsylvania. The original owner was very meticulous, has the service records that he said he will give me, told me a few hours ago that he had the ptu replaced about 20 - 25k miles ago. He even had a new set of SHO floor mats still in the bag that he gave me. I trust him with the upkeep of the car, we're friends through an old car club (he has a pair of Ford Fairlane GT's) but I'm a bit nervous about that many miles. Still, looking forward to enjoying this car.

Ask about the water pump/timing chain - turbo replacements or turbo oil feeder lines replacement/leaks

I would get a look under that car for salt damage and check the vin against any ford recalls. https://www.ford.com/support/recalls/
