CA Lemon Buyback?

[MN2001GT]

I'm new to this. I just bought a '01 Gt convertible and I've been pouring over the posted messages for hours. This is so awesome to have so much information available. Every car enthusiast should be so lucky. Anyway, I have a ton of questions, but I'll start with just a few.

1. I bought a CA lemon buyback and was wondering what you all think of these cars. I got a great deal ($11,000 off sticker for a car with 11,000 miles). Two years left on the factory warranty and if anything ever goes wrong with the car that the original owner complained about Ford will fix it for free for as long as I own it. Anyone else buy a CA lemon buyback?

2. Are there any members in Minnesota that I can connect with? I'm thinking of making some changes to my 'stang and would like to check them out on someone else's car before I make the investment.

3. I found very little in the archives on motorcraft oil. Does anyone use it? The synthetic blend 5w-20 is very reasonable.
