Bought a modded Fiesta ST but...

[61CAV]

No contact with seller. The bank held title, and repo'ed it. I bought it from a car dealership and they are unaware of what mods are done, and they have held my car since i paid for it 2 weeks ago, but i took i home for a test drive, but cant until i have title now So i cant look under it. Im no car guy, or mechanically inclined. My friend helped me do alot with my 350z back in the day, but he moved to Colorado. :/ it might have a ecu tune, it backfires.
(i even bribed them for my 14k car, but was loaned an 82k Inoes Grenadier, and an EV i cant drive anymore).
I JUST WANT MY CAR sorry, how would you guys address a modded car?Where would you go to get it looked at. Sounds stupid😂

 

[Capri to ST]

Welcome, it's a great car, more fun than you would ever expect it would be.
If you're wondering what mods you have, post up some pictures on here, especially of the engine bay and under the car if you can get access to it, and people on here should be able to spot some of the modifications.

Sounds like you didn't buy it. You got scammed.

 

[61CAV]

You're alot of help "Steve", the seller is the idiot who had their car repo'ed. I still have a notary check receipt, with an 2025 Chevrolet EV equinox(or whatever)loaner vehicle with 332 miles on car. Easy case, if I sued. But like I said.. you're no help. Thanks. 0 positivity.

I’d wait to actually get the car into your possession before allowing yourself to get caught up in what mods it has.

 

[61CAV]

I didn't get alot of time to look over. Drove home, took it back the next morning and told the dealership I'd buy it. I want to know what already has been done. Not necessarily add power. Better stability.

You didn't give us anything to "help" with. You didn't take a picture of the engine bay, the exhaust, or the suspension to show us. Without that, it's hard to say much of anything. Except to point out that a dealership took your money for a car they didn't have title to.

We could all throw out wild guesses as to what has already been done to the car, but they would be less useful than my first sarcastic comment was.

Get it looked it? If you're talking about a pre purchase inspection just call some local mechanics and find one who would do that. If you're wanting to know what mods are done you gotta post pics as we can't guess the mods just from knowing you got a FiST.
Looks like you got scammed

 

[rallytaff]

Why would you give the dealership for the car and you not take possession of it? Something doesn't sound right here.

What exactly do you expect help with? You can't present anything to the group for review, you basically just came here and said "I paid for a car I don't have yet, but if I did what do you think?"

Like Capri said, if you post some photos when you take possession of the car we will gladly help identify what we can see. Biggest thing to look for is if it’s on the stock turbo or not and if it’s got a Cobb accessport in it.

Sounds like the guy is asking what he should look for once he has the car. Lighten up a bit.

Agreed. Calling @D1JL for his usual signature welcome... 😉

Agreed, but I haven’t heard from Dave since March, hopefully he’s doing well.
