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 4:53 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. |

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. |

Fortunately for the imports the media is a kinder to them then they are the domestics, because there quality is really no better/worse then any body else now days. Engine sludge with one of the big dogs and the other has recalled more cars then they have sold this year My guess is because they put allot more advertising dollars into the market then the Domestics do. I didn't post that link to start a brand war. I just spend allot time here taking some good hearted ribbing about the the product I sell and wanted to throw a little back.

Replying to: joel0622 (Jun 07, 2007 6:28 am) To a certain agree, I would agree with you. However, the time between when the problem is identified (generally by the press) and when Ford admits it has a problem, is FAR too long. |
