Yuppp.. still have mine! We're about to hit 79k, 2018, ST1, FBO, e85. Runs like a champ. My windshield rubber lining is dried up and rotting away, probably the only thing, I can think of that needs attention!

original owner here. 125k miles with 20k on the s280 turbo. I don't log into the forum often anymore but check in once in awhile.
I don't drive the car as much as I used to since retiring. I have no plans on selling the car ever, still love driving it.

Just over 115,000 on my 2014. Car is taking a vacation at the moment as I'm laid up with a foot wound and unable to drive for 8 weeks or so. Having to get around in the house on my zero hp scooter!

hmmm well I was a original owner till around May of 24 . When I sold her to the second owner who is on here and still has it.
Even funnier is the fact I just picked a Performance Blue ( Blue is my favorite color) from another old time forum member who bought it new in 2015.

Welcome back!

Still got mine. I'm due to roll over 90k this year and the only problems it's ever given me have been wear and tear items (coolant expansion tank) or from me getting in over my head messing around with it. I drove it on a thousand mile road trip in 100 degree heat two weeks ago and averaged 35mpg. I'm still on the original blend doors!

At this point, I don't have any plans to sell it until I start making significantly more money and can upgrade to something really ritzy and/or irresponsible. Nothing in the new car market really appeals to me - at least not in my budget - and most used cars that interest me are weird JDM imports that are impossible to finance. Given enough time and money I'd buy a Toyota Crown wagon and put a 1UZ-FE V8 in it like god intended.

Mine is beyond gone, thrashed by the hot TN sun for over a decade parked mostly outside. If you find out where to source a new cowl that's not $250, let me know lol

I paid a little less than that, with shipping, from Levittown Ford, but that was over two years ago.
Probably that much or more currently from them.

Also, PSA; I just replaced my A pillar outside windshield trim pieces with Ford OEM originals.
(I soaked them in full strength CarPro Perl before installation to try and keep them from rotting out in our ever getting hotter summers here. [wink])

I tried the Amazon/ebay ones ('GX Arts' branded) for yes, less than a quarter the price of the OEMs with free shipping, but they fit so poorly, did not seat correctly, and were missing the little nub at the bottom which snaps into the cowl, that I returned them.
They most likely would have flown off the car at highway speeds (besides looking horrible with the gaps at the top corners/along the middle sides).

I don't know if anyone else on here has had any luck with the Chinesium cheapies or not, but if/when these rot out, I will get the Ford OEM originals again.

In fact, I may even search for the best price with shipping and discounts, and buy another set to hedge against them becoming a totally unobtainium part (sadly, like so many other, especially body parts, for these cars) in the future as I plan to keep this car until I cannot drive anymore, it is totaled by a brain dead, texting on their phone while driving road tank driver, or we run out of fuel.
