for the new Fiesta: http://www.autoweek.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20080905/FREE/809059991/1528/- newsletter01 Why is this car still two years away in the United States?

In the car business, there are no non-refundable deposits.. no matter what he signed... If they keep his money, they have to show that he got something for it, or they had a loss.. I don't think they can do that on a Honda FIT, that sells as soon as it hits the lot.. regards, kyfdx |

Replying to: fintail (Sep 05, 2008 1:09 pm) I bet if you found a bunch of people willing to pay $28,000 for it like they do in the EU, you might be able to convince them to bring it over. Of course you will still need it to pass the North American FMVSS requirements and safety requirements... Hmm yeah, there is a car in Europe and all Ford has to do is just drop it off here in the states and make a killing...those slick folks in Dearborn must not have thought of trying that....

| no bickering! According to the article, these cars are "Priced from the equivalent of $11,000" in Europe. They aren't going for any $28K. | |

Replying to: nortsr1 (Sep 05, 2008 10:50 am) LOL, I signed NOTHING...but the check.  Plus...a check for $500 from the dealer arrived yesterday in the mail. My attorney's rate is $350/hour. Luckily, his paralegal made the phone call.
