Ford buyback trucks

[FordTechOne]

It’s super easy for Ford to get victimized by the lemon law when the stealerships are routinely exceeding 30 days to get parts, much less make the repair. You only need a single broken hard part in some cases and you bust the statutory requirements for a lemon lawsuit.

That’s not to minimize what happened to the owners, but some of these are surely not true lemons, but rather trucks that simply broke the time threshold making a repair or repairs.

Also, why are we even talking about cr@p stirring by 8x banned, notorious troll sasquatch77?

Exactly. As far as state laws go, California is probably the most litigious in terms of "consumer rights", people work the system all of the time. 99% of "lemons" are not that at all, meaning unfixable. They are misdiagnosed by the dealer, resulting in multiple repair attempts, or qualify for a buyback due to parts availability or the dealer letting them accumulate days out of service.

As far as sasquatch....unfortunately, he lives.

Probably an RAV dealer. They tend to ship them out of litigious states like CA so the next owner doesn't get it "lemon lawed" again because some idiot with 1000 emojis in their phone contact list locks up the Sync system. Only in a state that screwed up could a manufacturer be legally obligated to "repurchase" a vehicle from a consumer they never sold it to in the first place.

Exactly. late 90s, maybe as late as early 2000’s, I wouldn’t touch a branded title vehicle or a buy back vehicle. Now the situation is a lot different. First, manufacturers are actually doing voluntary buy backs. When I had to sue, that was unheard of. 2nd, manufacturers realize, within reason, you can preserve a customer by admitting wrong, and making it right. A lot of times, the dealer(s) doom the vehicle with poor diagnostics, lazy workmanship and needless delays. I know there are users here on FRF who got stuck in part ordering purgatory and ended up getting a voluntary buy back.

If I had the full vehicle history and the truck just had some poor misdiagnosis, now resolved and had a full warranty covering it, i would now consider one.

IT’S MA’AM!

Yikes! I forgot to check for preferred pronouns.
I’ll get right on that.
