2010 SALEEN S7

A few weeks ago, there was quite a stir when MJ Acquisitions, the new owners of the Saleen brand, declared that they would not be honoring the warranties of any Saleen vehicle or part sold before February 2, 2009, claiming that that coverage was the legal responsibility of the dissolved Saleen, Inc. company. This move was well within MJ Acquisitions legal rights, and expected die to the fact that the economy is in rough shape and they were trying to resuscitate a brand that had been stuck in financial trouble for awhile.


For those of you that have Saleen vehicles or parts, don't worry: Steve Saleen himself, and his new SMS Supercars company, are going to cover your warranty. Why would Mr. Saleen do that when he has absolutely no legal obligation to do so? "I would like to make a bold statement on the right way to treat customers," he says.


The glory days of Saleen, Inc. may never be revived, but at least Mr. Saleen and SMS Supercars will continue the tradition, even if it is under another name.
