You'd think for 40k you'd get a little paint smeared on this

Put the '13 on the lift Saturday to change the exhaust and I couldn't believe my eyes at how rusty the rear end was. You'd think they would paint this stuff from the factory?? Oh well, I guess I know what my next project is!

'12 and up had painted housings from Ford.
Not true.

Boss 302s and Track Pack GTs have painted rears, all other V6/GT rears are unpainted. I have no idea about GT500s.

This is a 2013 GT with the Track Pack option.

The new 2015 rear ends will supposedly "twerk".

Sorry, I should have specified, Track pack, Boss, and GT500's all got painted rears sometime in '12 and later.

Isn't the rear end in Darren's car polished and waxed?

If you paid 40 grand for a GT, you need to reevaluate your perception of "negotiating" when buying cars.
