Was yours a '16 tech package? The tech cars are much harder to sell because of the stigma and the class action suit. As many have said, unless you track it, should be fine, but if you run it hard at elevated RPM's for an extended amount of time, it will eventually go into limp mode when the diff and trans temps go too high.
Tech pack '16's are analogous to a car that doesn't have a clean Carfax. Car might be right as rain, but reality and perception don't always match up. The good news is, you can pick up a tech car for a pretty significant discount if you're willing to A) concede it's not going to be trackable and B) concede you're going to have a more difficult time finding a buyer.
HB? What is the website link? I'd like to follow this myself...I just checked the HB website and the lots of actions on right now with the trial scheduled for Feb 4 2019... I guess we will know pretty soon.

I live in a warm climate also, never hit LM once. I've auto crossed in the middle of summer many times. Temps here reach the mid 90s with 30%+ humidity all the time.
Took it through a canyon in Colorado a couple years ago, about 45 minutes of spirited driving in low gears. 12k feet up with temps in the upper 80s. Didnt even know about the whole tech/track thing back then. Never hit it.
Had the fluids checked...all look fine...maybe I didn't hammer it that hard? Lol
I have another view on techs...I may sound biased, but I'm really not. I'm not trying to sell my car.
I think the values are low because of the things that we see on these forums but the general public who doesn't read this or care about it are going to see these techs as good values.
Not everyone who buys one of these wants to or will ever take it out on a track. To them, the car does what they need it to do and they'll be happy.
Still there will be others who don't a track pack car for fear that the car has been hammered on...In fact, one might find it advantageous to find a low mile tech and just put the coolers on they'll pay close to the same money as a 17 without the worry, or less of a worry we could assume, that the car was driven more easily than a track pack was.
Just a thought...

Yes you can. The coolers can be retrofitted.
Ford sells both kits. You'll save money if you run a manual pump on the transmission cooler but if you swap transmissions you can add both for about $7500 in parts.
Figure about 3500 less in parts if you keep the transmission it has and run an external pump.
Oh boy.....to be clear for everyone reading this thread so there is no future confusion.
For 2016, you cannot have a Tech Package AND Track Package car FROM THE FACTORY.
However, an owner can add whatever upgrades, coolers, window dice, etc. as they see fit.

Right...and likely educated enough to know the coolers can be added, which was my original point.I believe the people who buy a low volume car like this are educated. You might get some people who think they look good and buy one. Most people paying up to 50K for a three year old "mustang" are not your typical car buyers. The reason I know, is I have been browsing around at privately owned 2016's for sale.. Most of the people I have talked to who have them for sale.. know about the oil consumption and the limp mode.. In fact, one I looked at locally the guy said I was the third person to ask him about the oil issues and overheating..
