Brand new 2013 SHO going back in the shop AGAIN (Oil Leak)

[IHeartGroceries]

If all else fails, it could always just burst into flames, like that one dude's here.

Thanks for all the support guys. I can see that these cars are fun and I know I just got a bad one. But sadly all these maintenance issues have just ruined the whole experience for me and i'm scared to mod the car when I have to take it to the dealer every other week. I'll keep you guys updated i'm kind of waiting for the Feb 3rd Focus RS debut if that thing look promising I may hold out and trade the SHO in on one of those. Thats provided the RS is AWD and 330-350 hp as they are saying.

Keep us up to date. I really want the RS as well. Just hope it doesn't cost 50k.

Your SHO needs to be lit on fire and driven off a cliff.

The RS Has potential.  I really like the new Golf R with DSG.  I could totally rock one of those.  Looking at least $40K with the basics. 

If I had to replace the SHO right now, it would be tough.  I'd probably go for a MKS or another SHO.  Nothing beats the value and luxury for $30-35K range for a slightly used 2013+ vehicle with under 15k miles.  I love the 2015 Legacy but it needs the 2.0T.  If it gets the WRX's engine again, I'll probably get one.

I agree. I've spent weeks thinking about what I would replace the sho with in its price range. You just cannot find a car that will do 0-60 sub 4's under 35k. Especially awd and with the room this car has.

I'm sure the RS's MSRP wont be over 40k but i'm afraid what the dealer mark ups will be since its supposed to be a limited run.

Why I bought mine after driving comparable performance cars for 2-3x the money... And the German cars tended to be austere by comparison.

Just an update a lawyer had taken my lemon law case and Ford has been served with a lawsuit.

Maybe Ford can be convinced to present you with a new 2015 SHO... as their least expensive way out.  It really is a fun car!  ...And yes, I do think you just got a lemon.

Whatever you decide, good luck in your litigation.

^^ x2!  Good luck, hope you will stay with this community for a while!

Only vehicle id even consider for a replacement from ford would be the new focus RS and those wont be out for awhile so I'm sure that wont happen.
