Funny thing all the SPF and BDR dealers I spoke with had nothing but excellent reviews of Roush and their exceptional warranty service. Now that I think about 8 weeks is to long.
Agreed.....8 weeks is a long time,as for the BDR and SPF dealers reccomending Roush.
It is the best option for them they provide a warrantied component factory built vehicle with a warrantied engine from a large corp.

So if there is an issue they go to Roush and Roush pays them to remove and ship the engine, best scenario for them as far as business goes.
Also if it takes an excessive amount of time they have a scape - goat not them.

Not saying the Roush engines or warranty are bad just as far as warranty's go they take about as much turn around time as a $5.00 rebate for toothpaste!!

My BDR Is on order and yes it will have a Roush engine in it, did the dealer reccomend it yes is that why it is on order no. I have been around the Roush arena for 6 years I know their quirks but they do have a good engineereed product.
I do suggest not buying just because of dealer's suggestion ask for owner references I did, and one of the references is having a warranty claim and he still is staying with the Roush engine and recomends it.

So if an owner who has his engine out for warranty and the car is laid up while it is out yet still would do it all over again I figure it is worth my effort as well.

One big seller if you are many miles from your point of sale you can stop at any Roush ford dealer for warranty work if needed it is the network of dealers that makes this worthwhile at least to me.
