Old Saleen warranties kaput

Saleen Inc. has dissolved.

Last fall, Saleen Inc. was put up for sale by its majority owners, Hancock Park Associates. A company called MJ Acquisitions bought part of Saleen Inc. and still offers a full line of performance parts for a number of cars and trucks (see www.saleen.com). Anything you buy from the MJ Acquisitions-owned parts of Saleen on or after Feb. 2 will be covered by a 12-month/12,000-mile warranty.

However, since Saleen Inc. has ceased operations, anything purchased before Feb. 2 will not be covered under warranty. So if you own a Saleen car or part sold before that date and something goes wrong with your car or part that is not covered under the Ford part of your warranty, then you are out of luck.

MJ Acquisitions did not purchase the Saleen S7, the planned S5 Raptor, the Saleen paint shop or ASC. Those were all owned by Saleen Inc.

In addition to being able to order parts from the Web site, you can call the MJ Acquisition-owned Saleen Speedlab at (800) 888-8945 and choose option 2 for parts and option 4 for technical support.
