Within a few days after purchase of a 2013 Ford Mustang Boss 302 (3,000 miles on the car) I discovered a pinion seal leak upon examination of the rear end differential. The fix was handled under warranty by Ford Motor Company at no cost to me. The only inconvenience was taking the time to have it corrected during the Christmas holidays. From the amount of leakage on the differential casing, it is my opinion that this problem may have existed prior to sale of the car. Please note that I don't consider this a major issue in that I spotted the leak before any real damage was done, and I knew the car was still under warranty prior to purchasing it. However, I do feel that Park Place Ltd. should make periodic inspections of their vehicles prior to any sale to prevent this from happening in the future. To be fair, I really have no one to blame but myself under the circumstances - buyer beware! I must also say that other than the issue stated above, I was treated fairly and courteously by the sales staff and the finance manager. I will recommend this dealer to others, but I'll strongly suggest they have the car they're interested in checked out thoroughly before they purchase it.
