Question pertaining to a lemon law car buy back

[rz79]

Currently going through the buy back process with our 2015 Explorer Sport. It sucks but hey, I feel like so far things are going smooth.

My question is- Can I haggle the price of the replacement vehicle.. I didn't pay msrp on the original but Is that option allowed during a buy back?? Right now I'm looking at 2,295$ difference between the 2015 we are giving up for the 2016 we chose..
Ford is crediting us full sticker price on the 15. I feel like as good faith I shouldn't be expected to pay full price on the replacement .

Has anyone been down this road or have experience?? I feel over my head and my wife who thinks ford should be giving us everything under the sun isn't being reasonable IMO..

Thanks. <rubs forehead>

They're supposed to replace it with a vehicle of like or similar value, or they buy it back. That looks like they're doing exactly that. What else can you ask for?

 

[EmersonHart13]

the manufacturer will buy your vehicle back from you, less the value for miles driven.

If they are paying you full sticker on the 15 then they are taking care of you already...

 

[rz79]

Thank you both.. I may be getting brain washed by a rather irrational person..

What's the issue with the 2015?

Will they buy you a Chevy?

 

[EmersonHart13]

I don't believe they can force you to buy another product, I'd imagine they can make the deal sweeter to keep you in their brand though...

The 2015 had a reoccurring CEL for a camshaft sensor... To access the sensor a one time use high pressure fuel line needs to be removed. That fuel line is on "infinite backorder" any that were aqquired by ford were earmarked for new production.
A new engine was tossed around as an option but after being contacted by ford corporate they decided to replace / buy us out of the car

sounds like a very stupid engine design,

may i be the first to congradulate you on your 2016 E Sport purchse.

Thanks.. The dealer says another 2-3 weeks on the paperwork. This all started 1st week of October. Been in a 2016 Expidition through Enterprise, gotta be costing the dealer close to a G a month..
I know they just pass it on to corporate but Dayum

Glad to hear your getting taken care of. I'm thinking of trading my 13 in on a 16 but not sure yet.

I really like the explorer for a family hauler with some balls... I won't lie, the new Honda Pilot is pretty nice too.. 9 speed tranny in them now.

I like the look of the 2016 better. The bummer is that Sync 3 isn't available in the Explorer yet.

 

[BeerOrGasoline]

Wow what dealer? Sounds like they really wanna make things right and deserve a mention.

 

[rz79]

You're right, Zimmerman Ford in st. Charles.

Let's just say.... This is still ongoing and my opinion is rapidly changing about the accolades given to my local ford store... 4 months and counting.

 

[rz79]

Ohai....
Just a mere 5 months later we can finally call this done... What a fucking cluster fuck of epic proportion.

 

[rz79]

Oh and I got an extended warranty for free but I did end up paying the difference in MSRP

I'd say you did pretty well if ford gave you the entire purchase price back.

A guy I work with had his 2014 Jeep Cherokee bought back. After a lot of issues within the first 10 months of owning, it qualified for a buyback under the lemon law. He had to fight to get what he wanted. I guess Jeep prorated the buyback of the car based on age and mileage.

 

[rz79]

I don't feel lucky about that.. My understanding is that's how the Illinois lemon law is designed to work to protect the consumer.

After the paperwork is signed / check cut to you, consider heading over to St Charles Toyota, pick up a new 4 Runner and enjoy 200k + miles.

If it was a third row vehicle I would.. A close friend of mine is crazy in to modding those FJ's and tacomas.. Oh and tundras now
