Replying to: joe131 (Jun 06, 2007 2:25 pm) But seriously, it's actually a really nice car - and while Ford did own Volvo at the time, it was still 100% made by Volvo at the time - the last couple of years before Ford's beancounters started the cancer growing. Oh - and it has one of the best sound systems ever made for a car. Truly incredible. If it's a convertible, then she did very well. She bought it - it's not a bad car or a bad price by the looks of it. Sort of like "oh no! I bought a 3 series"  Live with it and have fun.

Well, in a way she was duped, but she DID sign the paperwork, and if you don't actually read what you sign... Thankfully it's not a bad car at a bad price. Though, the dealer SHOULD of course offer to swap it - but the thing is, it's a nice car and they'll ream her on the swap - probably their entire tactic. I can imagine her asking the dealer after the ink's dry and they jumping on it in hopes for a swap. That they didn't offer to do one is odd. But it is a nice car and she's an adult, afterall. Be careful what you sign. |

Replying to: joel0622 (Jun 07, 2007 5:53 am) It may be true that Fords are the highest quality cars being made at this time, but it doesn't matter to many of us. Some of us were disgusted with the poor quality of Ford products 20 years ago and that sticks in our mind, so we will never buy a Ford product again. Ford lost an entire generation of car buyers. Maybe if Ford starts advertising on the Saturday morning cartoon shows they car build a good image with the next generation. |

Replying to: joel0622 (Jun 07, 2007 5:53 am)  Interesting that the industry average dropped a point. It is all really sill though when you think the differance between a first place finish and a last place finish is less the one problem per vehicle. When you think about it that way there are really no BAD cars out there. |

Replying to: bobst (Jun 07, 2007 6:12 am) It is not like all the problems were twenty years ago - Taurus and Windstar headgaskets Taurus transmissions Explorer tires Crown Vic Police Interceptor gas tanks The ISSUE with Ford has been an inability to resolve big problems quickly which allows the problems to fester publicly.
