It's always a good idea to call Saleen to verify though.

Thanks mikebna! A guy named Jeff at Saleen has my information but hasn't been able to tell me anything because he said their computers have been down for the past week. I imagine that might make it difficult.

Anyway, I'm not sure how much longer I'll be a Saleen owner. She was advertised as being reliable, inspected, serviced and having a clear carfax history. Turns out that was a complete misrepresentation of the vehicle as it's been in two accidents, one resulting in frame/structural damage which explains why the front and rear bumpers aren't aligned properly, though they're secured to the body appropriately. She also had a fit on me a couple of days ago on my way from work. Apparently some hose is not holding a vacuum at all and there's a bad ground coming from the computer causing all sorts of problems. According to the mechanic, the hose issue will need to be fixed immediately otherwise it won't pass emissions. I told them to hold off on the work since I'm talking to the dealership I bought her from about their advertisement stating that it was reliable, inspected, serviced, and having a clean carfax history. Seems like the car's condition is opposite that of the advertisement.
