Ok, I will put this to rest for you guys. Here is how it works. MSO or having a TITLE has absolutely nothing to do with warranty, PERIOD! End of story. The way warranty works, is every dealer that sells any type of vehicle with a warranty, does a thing called "warranty register". Basically this means, that when a dealer marks a vehicle as "SOLD" in his inventory, this is when the warranty starts clicking. Why anyone has ever thought that simply because a vehicle was never titled and is or isn't still on an MSO means the cars warranty has never started is beyond me. If this was the case, there would be tons of people across the world that would buy vehicles and never title them and have endless warranties for ever. Also, the comment that twobjshelbys made about customers not supposed to be receiving an MSO is also incorrect. Every NEW vehicle is sold on an MSO. Wether the selling dealer goes to the DMV and licenses and titles the vehicle for the buyer is between the buyer and the dealer, but it is perfectly, 100% legal to give a customer a bill of sale and an MSO to a vehicle at time of purchase. What is NOT legal (per new car dealer laws) is to give a customer an "open" or "blank" MSO. Hope this clears this up and helps avoid further confusion. Now, for the guys that say they bought a Ford GT in the last couple years and received a full warranty, that is because they bought the cars from the original selling FORD dealers which had never been sold to a retail customer thus the warranties had never started until they were sold to the current owners.
