"It looks like many of Saleen's customers may be out of luck when it comes to the warranties on their vehicles. MJ Acquisitions -- the firm that recently purchased assets from Saleen, Inc. including the rights to the S and Racecraft lines as well as Saleen's aftermarket parts division -- sent a letter to dealers informing them that they're not liable for warranty claims and that responsibility would fall on the former owners of the brand. However, Saleen, Inc. announced it has completely ceased operations and will no longer honor warranty claims, leaving it to owners to pay for any maintenance on their vehicles regardless of when it was purchased. This also includes any vehicles languishing on dealers' lots, so any unsold 2008 or 2009 Saleen or Racecraft models will essentially come without a warranty. The small amount of good news is the MJ Acquisitions will continue to provide parts to dealers, and any parts purchased after February 2, 2009 will come with a 12 month/12,000 mile warranty."

Sucks. I actually liked the Saleen Mustangs. I looked at an 88 Saleen before I got my 1st GN. I have a buddy that still has an 89 Saleen. It's got a scarey fast top end. I've been in the car with him at Road Atlanta at 170+.

Who cares? I mean were those cars such a POS that you really needed a warranty anyway? There's a lot of fine print and I'd almost bet that the warranty was useless anyway. Anybody who has ever owned a specialty vehicle will know what I'm talking about.

Dealers will be giving them away now.
