- After nearly 2 months and way too much drama, I finally have my 2014 Shelby GT500 back. Sorry for such a long explanation but a lot happened since I purchased the car from Carvana. In short, she's 100% and I can't wait to make some more videos with her!

There known for the reverse grind
Do you agree a night and day difference between your GT350
Bro, I hear your pain. I bought a 2010 GT500 in January, and a "small" series of issues ended up costing me $18-22k. But now, it's all tidied up and I'm putting close to 800hp at the wheels and it's a modern classic, for sure. There is nothing like this beast on the road; you know how it is. Manual trans, supercharged V8 - let's go Brandon!
@@grod4844 Awesome man.My 2010 900hp Grabber Blue super snake hasn't given me any issues granted the car only has 3 thousand miles on it.Can I ask what were the issues with your GT 500
@@anthonylaudano9751 Nice! Yea, when they first did the inspection when I bought her, she had a few things going on:
supercharger had been leaking fluid/oil because one of the screws wasn't on right that held the pulley assembly on the engine
-bunch of little lights were out, like license plate and stuff you wouldn't notice just hitting the blinkers and turning on the headlamps
-exhaust had a crack in it, so we had to replace all of that
-front control arm bushings were in rough shape, so I replaced the entire control arms and bushings - since they were going to have to remove them anyway; btw, drove much better after this was done. If your turns are hard/rough to make, then I suggest this to make it smoother/lighter
-since we were going to replace the supercharger, I ended up getting a Whipple (originally a gen4, but they ran out, so I got a Gen5 3.0L)
-since I was getting the new supercharger and they were going to be under there, I also got -
--spark plugs
--fuel injectors
--voltage boosters
--fuel rails
--increased size expansion tanks
--dual pass heat exchanger
--intercooler
--oil separator
--etc. etc.
Basically replaced anything that would eventually wear down or have to be replaced by 100k miles, while upgrading what we could within reason
Wow I also had a similar experience with Carvana....I purchased a 2019 Fiat 124 Spider Abarth.....they disclosed it had 2 small scratches one on the front of the car the other on the passenger side mirror...Ok No Biggie....when the car was delivered it was raining so I figured I know what the cosmetic issues were and it was not a problem.....next day car is dry and in my garage...I look over the car and the Entire hood has Hail Damage over 80 dents and a few on the left rear quarter panel....Hold on it gets better....Car had only 11k on it.... after 5 miles of driving the check engine light comes on.... Plus there was so much break dust on the wheels they didn't even wash the car....The car had a Long list of performance up grades that were Not disclosed....I pulled the shops Number from the carfax report and talked to the shop Owner.....The previous owner Added big brake kit...exhaust....New Clutch....Increased the size of the Turbo which Voided the balance of the factory warrantee and a few other things....This car was raced and they would not Budge on the price so I had them take the car back....Good luck with your New Shelby....
I don’t think I’ll ever get a car through caravana after seeing how much bullshit they spew out. If you’re just a reg moron and want some slush box car sure whatever go through them but for a car person sounds like a nightmare.
“We can’t replicate the problem” is the dealerships “go to” for we don’t wanna work on it.
No kidding, “Let’s just keep it here for two weeks so it looks like we were trying”
Dealerships are always the worst! Glad you got everything figured out man. Hope you enjoy that beautiful GT500
Thanks man!
They were dishonest from the start. They found out about the transmission problem when they took it off the truck. They didn’t want you to see it on delivery.
exactly why they wanted him do do parerwork before driving it
Nice car. My brother in law has a GT350. He hates the racing stripe look, but I think it looks pretty cool. Beautiful color.
Ok, how in the hell does a dealer mechanic not test for a bad synchro? That seems ridiculous for them to make such an amateur diagnosis. Glad you got it resolved.
That car has more miles than meets the eye. You should have no stone chips and no transmission problems in such a low mileage car. What was the condition of the clutch and was it the original clutch? Something doesn't smell right.
Rock chips, scratches and supposedly the tires had little tread depth left!? Something doesn’t add up. You would think any Mileage discrepancy would’ve shown up in a carfax etc. Could’ve been trailered across the country and they just didn’t care enough to protect it.
Syncro broken and you are provided with an entirely NEW trans......????.....1st surprised Ford has NOS transmission assemblies to be bought ..............Did they keep old shifter with new trans?.......Did they instal new clutch assembly?.......Finally if you were furnished a rebuilt trans was your original trans rebuit or did you get another core.......Obviously your trans was very low mileage not a 60k mystery core. Do GT500s have numbers matching transmissions?...
So I'm assuming those are the old, outdated tires? :D Looks great Brandon. Congrats again! Love the whine, for sure.
They absolutely are! 😂
What a crazy dealership experience dude! Glad you got it back. Good call on the ruby red. It's gorgoeus and you can't appreciate the depth until you see it in person.
Enjoyed your story. I also had a bad experience with Carvana when I bought my 2016 GT350. Paint, tires, and 72 days to get my registration. Carvana was terrible on all communications, Silver Rock was awesome and let me choose my own body shop with no deductible.
I've had bad times with the Ford dealer as well. one of our officers came into the garage to tell us their Explorer shaking when driving, so I road tested it and confirmed it need transmission work. we sent it to Ford and the dealer claimed they tested it 3 times and drove just fine, they brought it back to us, I then road tested it again the next day because I was busy with other cars... The Explorer still had the same hard shudder, we sent it back to Ford AGAIN and they sent it back to us saying its fine so that same day i recorded as I tested it and sent it directly to the Ford guy we were dealing with, and they replaced the torque converter with no further questions. (We believe the dealer wanted to avoid the warranty as the pay for manufacturer is not the same as from a customer.
As much as I like the GT500 especially in those years I’d be fuming mad at having to put a transmission in it and issues with it you had. When it has so low of miles and what you paid. I guess you make best of it. I bought a challenger SRT8 in June and had a few issues but luckily the most expensive was covered under warranty. Having to replace front tires and rim because whoever owned it previously must’ve hit a curb or something. When it arrived it had a few more paint flaws then I expected. When you buy a low mileage car doesn’t mean it’ll be flawless.
also if you want an exhaust system. i am a firm believer in borla. i have the s type axel back on my 4.6 gt and it isn't obnoxious. father in-law got borla atak on his 21 ss Camaro and didn't disappoint either. Borla has really nailed down getting drone and excessive cab noise down but still be rowdy.
Just tried to buy a 2010 GT500 from a major dealership in Ft. Lauderdale. Nice car, but...when it was started the exhaust odor stayed strong which indicated that there were no catalytic converters in place. I had them put it on a lift and, sure enough. no cats. So now they tell me that they can't sell me the car until they install a complete OEM exhaust system with cats. Great - I'm getting a new exhaust system or so I think! Next, they go off to put some numbers together. When they returned to go over the numbers there is an additional $8500 amount on the invoice. This number represents the exhaust system repair of $3000, a reconditioning fee of $3200 (oil change and wash down) with the rest being miscellaneous dealer fees, but no taxes! Obviously, I'm expecting them to sell me the car for what it was advertised for plus applicable taxes - so much for expectations. It gets better...I express my sticker shock and they begin to whittle away at their $8500 additional dealer markup. They get to where they are offering to remove $7000, but then the sales manager has to get approval from his superior (Mr. Big) to do the deal. Mr. Big says no deal. So they just wasted 2 hours of my time for nothing. The car had old front tires and worn out slicks on the rear. Also, it was involved in rear-end collision per Carfax. I hate buying cars...
It’s unfortunate but it’s the reason carvana or FB marketplace 🤢🤮are becoming so much more popular. Scum bag dealerships and low life, bottom feeder salespeople are shooting themselves in the foot.
I think it's worth noting that if you don't purchase an extended warranty, the Carvana warranty thru SilverRock is only good for 100 days and 4,189 miles.
just bought a car from carvana this past week. didnt take it on a test drive on the highway. the very next day i take it work driving on the high way there is an extreme wind whistle howl going through the cabin. i contacted the different silverrock shops and they were telling me to take it to a mazda dealership to get it looked at cause it might be the the retractable hardtop on the car. so i take it to mazda the find out its broken molding along the windshield and the total cost for repair would be $950. lady at mazda reassured me that i wouldnt have to pay a thing cause of having bought the car through carvana. silverrock did its thing and the service advisor lady at mazda fought the good fight.
Borlas my bro...and longtubes. And Fosters sound mod for that wine
Stealership
Throw a o/r x on there with stock exhaust otherwise and it’ll sound amazing, no drone at all, quiet normal driving and decently loud when wot but can still hear whine good!
I put Roush Axlebacks on my 12'GT. Love the sound with no drone.
Have the same! I get compliments on the sound everywhere I go. People love how it sounds and love it how it’s not obnoxious
My GT500 came with an off-road x-pipe and Flowmaster Outlaw exhaust. You talk about loud. I am looking to go with a quieter muffler due to the drone and noise. Good luck with you new ride,
SH*T, it sounds like the typical worthless dealership. This really pisses me off seeing this video, just reminds me of the worthless dealerships that I have dealt with in the past. The only good thing you haven't experienced is that I have.. The dealership took my van in to look at it because I am having transmission problems with it. The repair exceeded the value of the van so they canceled our lifetime bumper-to-bumper warranty and wrote us a check for $7113.00.. They told us when we came to pick up the van because we refused to have a new transmission put in for $9000.00 we went to pick up the check and the van.. WHOOPS, we lost the check they told me. I said WTF, what do you mean you lost the check? They said they didn't know where it was.. I said I wanted the check now.. Bottom line.. I called Mopar Vehicle Protection and asked them where is my check. They replied that the check could not be reissued because it was already cashed. The dealership got the check AND cashed it. It turned it over to an attorney, plus filed with the sheriff for forgery. We have been waiting for over a month now for our refund. This dealership is nothing more than shysters.
I’m trying to buy a 2014 red GT500 super snake under $10k miles and I’ve never struggled this much
2011-2012 5.4L GT500's had the plasma wire arc transferred cylinder walls as well. 2010 GT500's were the last of the iron block 5.4L GT500's :)
Hello! I myself is carvana customer! I bought 2016 dodge dart gt, let me tell you! I just had same amount of issues when I received my car, everything on the car look pretty well, expect for the the driver side tire, had to kept putty air every n now then, especially when it came to the cold! But of sliverrock doesn't care of tires cuz wear and tear, so unfortunately that had come out my pocket through dodge, so that was unfortunate! Since than anything sliver rock is awesome when comes to repair especially after 100 day n the 60k warranty but glad you car back after that headache ford!
I'm dealing with the same kind of issue with Acura. The dealership sold me a warranty through a third party Warranty company. less than 3000 miles on the car there's a transmission issue. They test drove 843 miles and said nothing was wrong. Then the service advisor slipped up and told me that the dealership actually loses money on warranty work. On the warranties that they sell! So it's not in their best interest to fix any warranty work. At any dealership. It's a scam. And I'm trying to get my money back for the warranty but of course it's prorated and they're taking their sweet ass time
You should check out Danny Johnsons garage video titled cobra terminator vs gt500 1 step forward 3 steps back, very interesting and informative video about the differences between your car and the 2003-2004 svt cobra.
My honest thoughts are the reason the miles were off so bad is some crappy employees were joy riding and tore your tranny and paint up. Then tried to wash it to cover their tracks and messed up the paint even more. That’s why Carvana pics were so different
I was feeling your pain until you did that foolish burnout on a residential street. Show some class man and don’t encourage kids to do dumb things like that.
You made the right choice returning it to stock imo. Doesn’t need to be a screamer to still be fast af and tasteful
That's crazy new trans before 7k. Super charged 5.8 aint no hike
Bro! I just got my second GT500. This one a 2014 rag top......Ruby Red. LOL I also have a 2014 Roush F-150 with the RT570 package! In RUBY RED!! The color pops in the sun and get compliments all the time! I've been saying the same thing as you pointed out. These cars will definitely increase in value. Compared with 60's and 70's muscle cars these have the edge with drivability. Plus they can be easily tuned and modded. In my case with the ragtop, 2014 is the last year Ford built a manual, convertible, GT500.
I'm glad you got things worked out. I was always a little weary about carvanha. And I'm sure you paid a premium price. Have watched carvanha for several years on the GT500 and they are premium-priced for the nice ones. I've got a 14 myself GT500 on high-end of 13,000 miles she is white with dark blue racing stripes. And I agree the last of the true muscle cars that Mr Carroll Shelby head input on. An got to love that solid rear axle! And as long as it's taken care of in maintenanced. It's money in the bank!
Oh right on! Funny enough when my search began I was only interested in Ruby Red w/ White stripes or White w/ blue stripes. This generation rocks white better than the later generation for whatever reason imo. Glad you're liking yours! How long have you had it?
@@TexasRevving about a year-and-a-half. To be honest I might have put a hundred miles on it. I love the car it is the last of the true Shelby's in my opinion. And Money in the Bank. Values are only going to go up.
@@davedave2882 Oh wow, she’s pampered! Honestly I see myself chilling out once it’s paint corrected and driving every great now & then.
Good looking ride. If you are looking to swap out exhaust, I just put AWE Touring on my 2011 GT500 (don't have a video on it yet). Stock on these sound pretty good, but I am ,so far, extremely happy with the change to AWE. Great company to work with, and the exhaust sounds great. A little deeper and louder than stock, but it does scream when you get into it. When you are cruising, you really don't even notice it is there (zero drone).
Damn that's a beauty 😍
Would like to hear your take on the the GT350 driving experience vs. the GT500. My guess is, the 350 is more like a surgeons scalpel and the 500 is more like a Hammer. 🙂
Enjoyed this video thx for sharing. I traded a 2015 GT for an 07 GT500 with 30k miles on it. I have a youtube vid on it if ur curious. Unfortunately i had to replace the clutch and driveshaft but now the car is like new. The 07-09s have a ceramic disc dual clutch that makes a cool hissing sound but super heavy. I prefer the solid axle muscle car feel over the newer stangs. Super charger whine is great and like u I didn’t get a super loud exhaust cause I like the whine.
One thing to note - if you havent - change the super charger oil. The owners manual says u dont need to but trust me - you need to. Its easy theres a plug and u suction out the old and only takes like 4-6 oz if i remember correctly. Maybe one day I’ll get a 13-14 one but atm they’re like 20k more than mine and the 07 body style grew on me.
Back in 1996 I purchased a new 1996 Lazer Red mustang Cobra. Wonderful car. It was a dealer demo and had 1800 miles on the clock. I was able to haggle and get 1200 off the sticker. Had no problems for the first few months but then the reverse gear started grinding. Took it back to the dealer and they said there was a service bulletin to place in 1st gear let out clutch slightly then shift to reverse. This helped for a while then grinding came back. Took car back two more times once it 18k then it 32k. Dealer did nothing. At 38k when having an oil change at the dealer the transmission failed while they where moving the car. They quoted me 1600 for a new transmission. I told them I had the records for the prior problems and refused. Service advisor called ford supposedly. Came back end told me 50 50. I said look I need my cars fix it you will get your 800 bucks BUT I am taking you to the district justice! Service advisor came back a few minutes later said its covered we are taking care of it. Loved that 1996 Cobra. I am proud owner of a 2010 Grabber Blue GT500 😁
I bought car from drive time and front shocks squeegeeing like no tomorrow = SILVER ROCK WOOD NOT REPLACE = said still working not mechanical failure 2 years later shocks still sqeek and is very annoying but still working fine = so My case is pay off car and put new struts in 2013 Volkswagen Passat wolfberg edition
Why all the paint chips? My 9 year 213,000 Honda doesn't have that many chips. Carvana is a terrible company. They got their licenses pulled in Illinois and Michigan.
I bought my F150 from that same dealer MAC Haik ford Georgetown. Every dealer is full of clowns. I recently had to bring the truck for service and this time I brought to maxwell ford, they fixed the truck but it came with 40 extra miles and it smelled like cigarettes. Buyer beware.
Did the dealership tell you what was wrong with the transmission itself? I know you got it replaced but just curious if it was just the synchro like you mentioned.
Im curious did Ford or any mechanic actually tell you WHY a 6000 mile Shelby Transmission was broken? Very curious as to why with that low of miles the transmission needed replacing soooo soon. I had it happen to me back in 1999 on a Svt Cobra I bought new. It had 1.000 miles in it and got stuck in reverse and ford replaced the transmission. But I figured all these years later they would have that issue solved…weird. Kevin
How about a transmission at 2000 miles haha, my transmission needed to be replaced in my 19 Mustang GT and the dealership refused to fix it at first. Had to have a big fight just to get it replaced even though the car was only 3 months old haha.
Fortunately after I replaced it the car’s been perfect.
I got the Magnaflow muffler deletes for my 13GT 500, they were so loud that they hurt my ears after just 10 minutes of driving. For a solution I bought boom mats and put a triple layer of them in the trunk, the rear passenger seats and behind the driver and passenger seat on the floor. Now inside the car it is quieter than stock, but outside it is the Apocalypse and it sounds incredible. I got an aftermarket intake and I can hear the super charger wine, quite loudly. The muffler deletes are the best for sound and looks, you just have to add sound proofing and there is no drone. Only a choir of angels.
can't believe a car with 6k miles looks this bad. i would have not even driven that off the lot. there are PLENTY of 13/14 gt500s out there and i guarantee this is the worst you'd ever see with that mileage.
You would not have the car if Carvana inspected well. The big take-away is the Carvana warranty company which steps up and fixes issues.
Yea favorite saying at dealerships. We can’t replicate the problem. Still to mess up a Tremec 6060 in 6,000 miles.
If your looking for a some good mufflers, look into corsa. The ones on mine have no drone
This s197 gen looks soo good
Man it sure aged well!
@@TexasRevving aged like a fine wine
6000 miles Takamasa me scrapes and chips all over it shouldn’t have that that mileage I said did you ever check and see if it was ever an accident
a 6200 mile car with a bad trans idek if we can blame carvana for that maybe for not knowing of the issue before selling it
Great video Thankyou for all the info. Congratulations on your beautiful mustang
Damn Brandon. Why you ruining your tires? It's yours of course. But
Why you destroying your tires?
Congratulations on getting your car back in good working order--nice car. I agree with you on the Carvana disclosure...I learned my lesson: always see a car in person before you buy it no matter what...glad that your happy with it now--that's awesome.
Yep, the S197 style after 2014 has gone European. Hate the look of the new ones.
Did they replace the tires under the warranty? Also, is this color ruby candy metallic?
Flow master 50 series resonator delete mufflers are awesome.
Bud love the car! Shame we don’t get these in Australia. Consider paint protection film. You’ll basically forget about rock chips
That’s definitely part of the plan!
my mustang had a blown head gasket on arrival they dont inspect theese cars at all i believe mud all over the oil cap
A real Muscle car! I am going to look at the same a, 2014 ruby red one!
Tomorrow’s 328 at the best car they make forward or has been sorry I got it has been
Put it to those 2013 model tires!! 😂. Nice car sir.
How much money did you put down and what did the payments end up being?
I wait over 3 months to get a new transmission on a ford focus under warranty.
Totally YOUR fault for NOT HAVING CAR CHECKED OUT BY A PROFESSIONAL BEFORE BUYING IT.
Who buys (FINANCES!!!!???) a $62,000 car w/out having it checked out?
Stay mad
To me this model looks better than the new one.
2011 was the first year they did infused plasma.
No longer numbers matching. Only original once.
I have an 07 gt500, to get more whine you you might need a different cold air intake elbow, i used air raid i can actually hear it, might put on this 2.5 pulley next :)
Yeah there’s a baffle delete you can grab along with the air raid filter and I can hear the whine pretty well
Subscribed. Love some good mustang content.
I watched your last video and as soon as you said you took it to a Ford dealer for inspection, I knew you were in for a rough ride with a known bad transmission. Ford maintenance departments make money from smaller fixes. If they have to occupy one of their bays for three weeks or a month with one car, that's bad for them and the manager will tell them to do whatever it takes to get rid of you. They make more profits on more cars, even if it's a big repair on a single car. And if it's warranty/insurance work vs self-pay, they will always go with the self pay option. That's why they lied about contacting your insurance company so they would force you to pay for their repairs. You would have gotten a more honest inspection from a 3rd party inspector who has no agenda other than offering good service.
So, what was the problem with the transmission?
Stock sounds amazing
Don't break it again
Where is there a place where they sell Shelby’s?
Borla Stingers man, no drone and sound great
FYI children, snakes eat cats 👀
Please don’t insult us “elderly” people. I’m 78 and my 2022 C8 Corvette sounds great stock, but looking to ramp it up some with a reasonable aftermarket exhaust. Age doesn’t make you cool, or not.
Same video with a burnout lol
Cool video, ALMOST as cool as the tail lights on the 2014. I agree they are very different models because the 15 is just so different. I hate you because you also have the Raptor. J/K...
Congrats on the new snake …. enjoy in good health …
Thank yah sir!!
Can't find them anymore - but you can get the mufflers themselves and have a shop do it.... HUSHPOWER mufflers by Flowmaster.... same conical perforated inverted cones inside the bullet muffler - which is the same tech that jet engines use.
Car looks great! Glad it all worked out in the end! :) I just did an exhaust on my ZL1 and loved how the Borla ATAK turned out... NO DRONE. I don't think I'd ever do a muffler delete on these kind of cars, lol.
I'd have to agree. The ATAK by Borla is a perfect exhaust for any performance car/truck. It even comes with a 2 stage exhaust so you can regulate the dB of the exhaust sound.
@@TheWolfMatt yeah man.. def love the sound of the atak.. it makes me drive even more jus to listen to the car sing, haha.
@@D3RPZILLA I'd either have to go with the Borla ATAK or even the Corsa Sport exhaust on his GT500. Though I must admit, the Corsa Sport will sound a little more throaty than the Boral on the higher RPM. Should be nice to see what he goes with.
@@TheWolfMatt yeah, same! Wouldn't go wrong with either of those on the 500!
Just started watching. I own a 2002 Mustang GT 4.6. It’s my favorite daily driver but doesn’t compare to your GT500. I’m slightly older than you at 38 but I wanted to share my favorite SVT model ever from when I was a teen the 2000 SVT Cobra R. That’s my dream car
Congrats to you!! Nice car and cars& truck. Did you get the Shelby truck?? Oh no you said it was a Raptor.... now you need a Shelby F-1 Fiddy
Just got me a 09 gt with 52,000 miles with carvana. The delivery driver stated that it was just the tpsm system. Took it it to a recommended auto shop. A couple other things diagnosed. Currently waiting to see if silver rock approves. I'm on my 4th day of the 7 day policy under 400 miles. Hopefully all goes well.
i don't like dealerships at all never had a good experience. i didn't get back my $500 deposit that i was promised back after using x-plan pricing. i had to cancel because i got orders and i wouldn't of had the truck before leaving. so yay out 500 for having the inclination to order a truck and getting shafted at the end.
Any experience I’ve had with dealerships have been horrible. I took my charger to a dealership for a oil leak. They said it was a oil pan gasket, paid 1000$ for the fix. Got it back 3 times and it still leaked so after 3 times they finally put dye in the engine and it was the rear main seal. The only good thing about it was they paid for the fix other than 1000$ I spent
the dealer where i got mine is horrbile. My insurance as well they give me runarounds. I have valve and oil consumption problems with mine a loud tick and smoke coming out. went to galpin ford and it was the worst experience ever. the dude that took over my case left on vacation and told no one, then was rude to me saying " i dont need to tell anyone when i go on vacation". The car sat for a month nothing done to it except my paint and stripes got ruined... 3 dealers so far and no one can help me warranty it.
You can always add the supercharger "whine mod", where you pipe it in through the fire wall. Im about to do that with my 03' terminator. I've heard awesome things about it..!
I'm sorry but the 5.4 Lightning was SOHC, you could have at least said Navigator lol
Dude, I have a 2014 Ford Taurus Sho, I lived in Round Rock until April this year. I had issues with the very same dealership.
Ill be purchasing a 13 gt500 in the very near future. Based on ur experience with carvana i will definitely not buy my shelby from them
I always considered the 2014 to be one of the most beautiful takes on the mustang body from that era of this style. And the GT500 was top of the line !
Nice car! Good choices.
Well, u were able to do a halfway decent burnout with it, and didnt hit any pple, or wreck it, so even tho i hate mustangs, i kinda like this one, so im in👍
Sound tube that Shelby
A Mustang doing a burnout is the best opening for any Mustang ever. Love that car.
Same thing happened with me in my 2013 shelby gt500 bought from carmax ( but it was the clutch)
