Awards all over his office

Participation trophies. Remember, everybody’s a winner now and if they’re not then you're racist. @$$hats cannot be fired, only promoted.

Cream may rise to the top, but turds float too.

top guy my ass. Is this in Denver or Colorado springs?

Colorado Springs, Chapel Hills. I wandered the joint while he photocopied my DL and insurance info. The other SAs might have had one or two awards, this **** had two or three dozen ...

Loaners are a mixed blessing. you do have wheels, however, under some, perhaps most or all, I’m not familiar with all 50; if the stealership or mfgr. provide you with a loaner vehicle, that you do not have to pay for, the time that you have the loaner does not count toward triggering the lemon statute.
False. Just asked my attorney buddy. You bought your truck, providing a loaner is simply a customer service deal. It has no impact on the statute. Just the same as the law doesn't say they have to provide a loaner. If that were the case, the tort would bind them to providing a loaner when in for service on all vehicles and that time would be specifically addressed.

Every state is likely different. That’s why talking to a local lawyer is the right answer, just like calling Ford CS was the right answer when I got conflicting advice here about the loaner. I really really don’t want to go there. Lawyers are a necessary evil, a last resort, not the first.

does your “attorney buddy” practice in the field or something unrelated?

I know at least 2 states - MD and VA where this is true. It was central in my suit. So, now that you've accused me of spreading false information, read my post again: in relevant part... under some, perhaps most or all, I’m not familiar with all 50

Many of the “lemon law” statutes were based on ‘model’ legislation, and put forward to various state legilature ‘legislative drafting bodies’. Each state and the Fed has these. They’re not legislators, they glorified archivists and librarians who collect and organize various bill language and when asked they pull it up, send to a legislator for them to “sign” and introduce as a bill. Sometimes it’s correct, sometimes it’s not, sometimes it’s way off the legislator’s central topic. I’ve seen state interactions with these teams, and they’re just as partisan. I once saw an office ask for language for state level firearm preemption and they got a gun control bill back, which the assemblyman -now a prominent figure with DHS, hailing from NJ, introduced allegedly without reading. He then made a big hullabaloo about the team who ‘drafts the bills’, wouldn’t accept responsibility for signing and introducing without reading it and then withdrew the bill.

So, if you were to read some of the lemon laws you would see a lot of common ‘phraseology’ or language in them.

Worst Dealer out there. I have had nothing but Problems with them (service Dept) since I bought my Raptor in December. I now drive 60 miles for all service including warranty because I won't let them touch my Truck!

I hear you on the gap, but my experience with Phil Long Service has been so bad that there is no way in hell they will touch my truck ever again!! The drive to Denver is not bad when you can get good service there.

What dealer are you using? Have you tried Medved in Castle Rock?

Also, maybe Hwy 83 would be a better option to avoid 25 construction?
