[QUOTE="662, post: 16323477, member: 161934"] Ignition cycles are reset when the computer is flashed, so if you see a number like 100, then it implies someone recently flashed the FW. This is a metric Ford uses to refuse to warranty engines and useful to know if you're buying used. It's not exhaustive proof of tune, b/c Ford may have flashed it in process of some repair, but if someone tunes the car and it needs to go back to ford, they will usually restore the factory settings and others will remove a tune before they sell a car... I'm a optimist on the deal, I would waffle on the perceived risk of a buyback car and let them use the extended warranty to resolve the concern. The value is: [URL='https://www.floodfordesp.com/esp_plans.php?PlanDetailID=36&ModelID=34&VehicleYear=2017&VehicleMileage=16000&StateID=44&TimeCheck=2&AWD=0&Surcharge4=0&Surcharge2=0&Surcharge5=0&Surcharge3=0&Submit=Continue']Ford ESP Plans[/URL] The GT350 is expensive to cover and you're probably advantaged in that the floor manager does not usually deal with the warranty pricing and likely he will assume his cost is lower than it is when you bring it up.
