    Bullshit!!!!! Carfax does not show everything. It only shows accidents reported. I have seen some very wrecked frame bent drifted into a wall and fixed cars that have a perfect carfax. I guy I knew in highschool tryed to cross a creek in his brand new f150 and sunk it to the seats! After alot of cleaning and drying out the interior. The main damage was the transmission after draining the fluid/ and water out of it and pressure washing the underside of the truck ford replaced the transmission under warenty and he traded it in for another one. You know what it had a perfect carfax!!! Also a theft or a theft recovery does not show up on a carfax!

    Yeah my girls car was def in a front end... but carfax was clean as a whistle when she bought it. Carfax doesn't even pretend to be 100% accurate... There is actually a disclaimer about that when you purchase one.

    And for $30,000 I have more faith in an engine i built, compared to an engine thrown together on a assembly line in 20 minutes. Warranty doesn't help you out when you are stranded with no $ because you are paying a ridiculous monthly car payment, that most can't afford anyway.
    Dude as far as I know ford is building some of the highest quality cars on the road these days, which is why they didn't take a shit like GM during the recession. If you can post some statistics to prove otherwise that would be great because I can't find anything on a google search. Plus, it doesn't even have to be ford specifically... What about the STI at 300+hp for 33k? What about the evo at 300hp for 34k? What about the genesis if they do a V8 coupe? The new toyota ft86 that's bound to get a stock turbo at some point? All cars that are reasonably priced and fun out of the box.

    And if we're speaking from the perspective of having enough money to straight out spend 30k on a used car build then we'd also have said money to straight out buy a brand new mustang at the end of the model year... There would be no car payment, therefor that doesn't make sense either.
