How do I talk him out of an eco boost? I don’t want his engine to grenade at 100k miles.

>>28494734 (OP)
you don’t, if he’s so imbecilic to have even brought it in the first place there’s nothing you can do to save him

>>28494739
He didn’t buy yet he’s still shopping around

>>28494734 (OP)
Are the 5.0 mustangs reliable? I am considering buying one because one with 60-100k km is cheaper than an ss commonwhore with 150k+ km?
What's the catch?

>What's the catch?
All the bystanders that'll get caught in the bumper.

So basically it's a good buy considering I currently drive a 400bhp Ute with no traction control and I have never killed bystanders in it?

They're fine, the worst they get is cam phaser issues because Ford can't design a VCT timing gear to save its life..check for any codes with a scanner related to timing or any clacking on a cold start.

Ecoboosts are shit in comparison. The motors blow up semi-often if you mod them.

Let him learn the hard way

>>28494734 (OP)
so he wants a 5.0 but hes settling for an ecoboost? or did you mean he wanted an s550 in general
they very least you can do as a friend is making sure he can at least get a good manual one and take care of it, theyre ok at best

>>28494734 (OP)
why dont you tell him that its not a 5.0 mustang

>>28494979
He doesn’t seem to know much about cars at all
>>28494982
I explained it to him
