@@sjm8510 I agree with everything you said. I started my dealership because I hated both new and used dealerships. I’ve been swindled and bamboozled many times as well. I wanted to do it right. Unfortunately the many kinds of people associated with the business I just didn’t vibe with. My background is in artificial intelligence and have patents in online commerce. I spent most of my life in tech, finance, and medical. The car business is actually quite easy and dealers can definitely make money being honest. There are good and honest dealers but they’re are certainly the minority. My advice to everyone buying a car: 1. Get financing outside of the dealer. Even if they’re offering 0% financing. 2. Get a Carfax. If they don’t provide it for free, then I wouldn’t deal with them. 3. Take a long test drive 20-25 minutes. 4. Bring a friend or family member who can witness the sale. 5. Ask for a discount. And always remember there’s millions of cars available to buy. Never put your self in a “I need this now” mentality. 2023-2024 is the revenge of the customers. It’s certainly going to be a buyer’s market. I’m buying in Q3 of 2023 since that’s when prices should be the lowest.

@@matthewsalmon2013 Auctioneers, pre-inspections, and if there is a detail sheet at auctions clearly indicate details of the cars at auctions, if something is misrepresented the auction house takes the hit.

I'll say it again, this guy wanted a viral video, he got it, and thousands of comments.

In the early 2000s, I was at an auction and they had a convertible 04 mach 1 on the block. They didn't even make those lol.

I rented one of the later editions and, before we took it out, Hertz confirmed that a safety cable was connected between the engine and body because (as they explained) returns had come back with an old V6

There are so many none Shelby parts on that car! For one at first glance.. the GT-H had a deleted Badges , Spoilers, Fog lights, a Metal grill. And a more aggressive front bumper.. that’s just a first glance.. 😅 what someone did in this case was just slapped the decal on the side of a Standard Mustang Gt and tried passing it off as a Shelby Gt-H

I found a guy doing this with a GMC Sprint. It had SS emblems on it. I told him it wasn't an SS and he swore up and down it was. So either he was scamming or he got scammed. SS is a Chevy designation. Sprint had a similar model, but they were SP. So watch out for that people!!

I have a 2006 Mustang GT Convertible for $4,000. I put another $1,000 into the suspension, replaced the ignition coils, coil and injector plugs and called it good ever since. LATER for your auction, I'll be on craigslist. 😎👍

It’s also obvious that it could be a fake just from looking a the trunk lid. All s197 Shelbys at “Shelby” over the left taillight on the trunk lid. This one is centered.

That's a weird one to fake. The Gt-h still has the same engine as the gt just without the silver plastic cover on the intake manifold. It's essentially a gt with different badges and few bolt on parts + mild tune.

By the way, the engine was a the exact same, just no Shelby bolt on parts. However the car is a 2009 so anyone who knows anything about these cars would understand it's not a Shelby, simply a clone.

Not necessarily a scam. The ford dealers swapped those sill plates out when they got scuffed up or damaged. The badges got stolen alot. On the later rentals they put them on the inspection sheet. It was the same engine. The 4.6 was the same. Look for side moldings and run the carfax. The ones sold through hertz came with paperwork from Shelby where they had Shelby reps recert them. I worked at a luxury hertz location and rented them once a month and drove them to Daytona with my wife. So, none of this stuff is an indicator. My next door neighbor has an H, ill check his engine cover but I'm sure it was the same. I drove a f150 and my wife had a Shelby California Special. The CS was what the H was, with different stripes. She just sold her CS and made 24k on hers. We kept the mileage to less than 10k. That's why we rented the H. That and I got a discount as a manager.

No shelby plaques on the fire wall. They are on the driver side core support. Its the same engine as the Mustang GT as they were all Mustang GTs from Ford. This one has the intake manifold cover which none if the Hertz Mustangs had.

You can always just check the VIN. Always start there and then move to other items. The VIN doesn't lie unless the seller illegally changed the VIN.

Very few civilian consumers will buy a used car at auction, without issues or misrepresentations ! Do NOT do it, would be my recommendation. Businesses do buy them, but they have options to assist, if there are problems. Civilians do not.
