I agree it sucks you have problems with such low miles. I agree that Shelby could have taken better care of you and your car. But I also agree that Shelby either has the right to deny helping you since the car is sold as is, or they can go out of their way to help you. They are not obligated to help you. Help from them IS a favor, as ass-backwards as that sounds.
MAYBE they don't offer a warranty any more, but I have a doccument that states "Shelby American warrants that the parts and components comprising The Shelby Cobra will be free from defect in material and workmanship for a period of six (6) months. This warranty will be limited to the repair and replacemnt of parts and components when there is show to be defect." Funny how it says NOTHING about "sold as is" ...SOL. I have it in writing. Where are you getting your information to tell me how it is? I also may not be a lawyer, but my understanding of the law is that companies have a much greater liability than individuals - but I could be wrong since I am not a proffesional or an expert.
