it depends what kind of warranty...for the most part, the technicians bill the warranty people, 80% of the time there is no warranty representative there and they just trust the technicians and pay

Warranty work is dependent on the dealership. They can claim anything they want affected your warranty. SO thats why I say "who needs a warranty?

Don't let the term leased make you feel better. I know a lot of people who lease cars and trucks and never change the oil once in 3 years..

Anyway, as for the warranty...it's not going to be a factory warranty, it sounds like an aftermarket warranty with another company through the dealer. Many accepted *no* modifications at all and will void your warranty over anything. Even if the service manager doesn't have a problem with mods, the warranty rep from said company will many times come look at the problem before issuing a warranty claim.

While engine mods you do shouldn't affect any warranty on suspension parts, they will find a way to tie it all in and get out of the claim all together.

IMO, I would save the cash monthly and cancel the warranty so you can do what you want with the car, or just be patient and leave it stock and wait until the car is paid off and warranty's are not needed.

you sold your mustang to pay for school? now are financing one so now you have payments on a car on top of school, which is why you sold the car in the first place... to me it sounds like you need to prioritize somethings and not even consider modding the car yet

Before you start telling someone to prioritize there life maybee you should get all the facts Moses !, the mustang that was sold was all paid for in cash so no payments, My GI bill paid for more then half of school , I needed at least 8 grand to take care of the rest . So school is all paid for and besides my cell , insurance and beer money I have no other bills that takes my cashflow besides my car payment. Im 23 , retired from the military ,have two decent jobs and getting married so I think I prioritize my somethings very well. Keep your 2 cents in your pocket bro its not needed here.

but if he didn't want everyone's opinion he should have asked it on a public forum. and i just posted my opinion on the info he gave. nothing more nothing less.

certainly isn't the first time someone has been mad at me and you better be damn sure it won't be the last either

If I want advice it will be something tech wise or mustang related not life lessons from a guy on a forum with a self taught psychology degree.The point of me selling my car is there over and over , looks like you need to learn read man . quit trying to jack threads and act like a drama queen .
