I'm posting this so that anyone researching this Mustang/VIN in the future knows what we discovered before purchasing it. We negotiated to purchase this Mustang from Southwest Kia. We were provided Mustang/VIN in the future knows what we discovered before purchasing it. We negotiated to purchase this Mustang from Southwest Kia. We were provided the dealership's own used-vehicle inspection/reconditioning report. Their technician specifically documented: “OIL PAN SEAPING. RECOMMEND OIL PAN RESEAL.” The dealership's inspection allocated 6.2 labor hours to the oil-pan reseal, but unlike a number of the other reconditioning items, the oil-pan repair was not shown as completed on the report. Other issues identified during the inspection included worn tires, a hanging front bumper, TPMS sensors, washer system, alignment, broken driver's visor and a daytime-running light. Some of those items were repaired. We personally saw that the car had new tires and that the front bumper was no longer hanging. The oil-pan seep was not repaired. What concerns us even more is what happened when we discovered it. We spoke with the dealership on August 31, 2026 about the oil-pan issue. We were told that the repair supposedly would have been included if we had paid the full asking price for the vehicle. That was never disclosed to us during our negotiations. Nobody told us, “The vehicle has an oil-pan leak, and we'll repair it if you pay full price.” We were never given the opportunity to make our offer knowing that a significant mechanical repair was being excluded from the negotiated price. We learned about the oil-pan seep from reviewing their inspection paperwork. After we raised the issue, the dealership told us that because they are selling the vehicle “as is,” they will not repair the oil-pan seep and will not reduce the price to account for the repair. That's why we decided this information should be publicly searchable. I'm not telling anyone whether they should or shouldn't buy the car. I'm posting the VIN and what happened so the next potential buyer can make an informed decision. If you're considering this Mustang, ask Southwest Kia specifically: 1. Has the oil pan been resealed? 2. Ask for the completed repair order proving it. 3. If it hasn't been repaired, get an independent estimate before agreeing on a price. 4. Get an independent pre-purchase inspection before buying the vehicle. As of our conversation with Southwest Kia on August 31, 2026, we were told they would not repair the documented oil-pan seep at our negotiated price because the vehicle was being sold as-is. I'm posting this because this information should be available to anyone who searches: VIN 1FA6P8TH7G5220891 1FA6P8TH7G5220891 2016 Ford Mustang EcoBoost oil leak 2016 Mustang oil pan seep Southwest Kia Mustang Southwest Kia used car If the dealership subsequently repairs the oil-pan issue, I'm happy to update this post to reflect that.

I would like to extend my sincere thank you to an awesome team of guys from start to finish. Scott, Yafet, Amir and Jonathan. These are the men that I had the opportunity to help assist me in purchasing my team of guys from start to finish. Scott, Yafet, Amir and Jonathan. These are the men that I had the opportunity to help assist me in purchasing my 2026 Kia Sportage Wolf gray vehicle. I had been to numerous dealerships throughout my search and once I came here to Southwest Kia, service was phenomenon. First time entry, I was welcomed in not only by young lady at front desk, but to everyone I passed by. Yafet took the time and assisted my 85 year old mother with a cup of hot chocolate, small actions says a lot. I will be referring others to this location. This team rocks! More

*** BUYER BEWARE *** illegal / Unfair sales tactics bait and switch alerts Dealership ( Sales manager Scott) are actively ripping off customers. I needed a vehicle in an emergency situation. I found a certi and switch alerts Dealership ( Sales manager Scott) are actively ripping off customers. I needed a vehicle in an emergency situation. I found a certified Pre-owned vehicle here that I could afford. (CPO via Kia, Carfax, and the dealerships listing). From the minute we got there shifty behavior started. after they "somehow" tried to show us the wrong vehicle then they attempted to charge us more money than advertised for the certified preowned. they said "oh no. it's not Certified, it's "certifiable" if you pay the additional cost. " Any car listed and advertised as a CPO is for that price listed, not a way for shifty dealerships to line their pockets on unsuspecting customers. i attempted to contact the dealership to discuss this and they (Scott) got mad and unprofessional instead of attempting to change their illegal behavior. please!! do not go here and get taken advantage of.
