You will NOT believe this. Grab a drink....

So the Case of the Missing Bronco from July 23 production and then mysteriously vanished.....

Turns out it got damaged somewhere somehow...and Ford, without legal authorization! sold it at auction! On Jan. 4. My dealer OWNS the manufacturing title to it!! So they are none too happy, and Ford told no one. The only reason we found out is that my VIN dropped off the palsapp yesterday. So the dealer started digging hard, only to learn this.

Ford. How can they sell something that isn't even legally theirs? And how can they not bother mentioning it, even to the dealer?? I wonder if we'd ever have known.

The good news is that now we know. AND I'll be getting a top priority 22 with hopefully a good engine and not sitting with stale fluids for 7 months. And Ford is trying to figure out what else to do to compensate me. So far, a free warranty woo hoo....

Crazy times, my friends.

About that bottle of whisky for being the very last.....? lol

Did you already purchase the Bronco, like paid for it? You have a loan? Signed the title paperwork?

Your Bronco should be a free gift from Ford.

Oh I believe it, nothing comes as a surprise with this deal anymore lol.

Bonkers.

tho what does “dealer owns manufacturing title”? I’m betting you don’t actually have any ownership claim, but maybe the dealer does depending on their contract with ford though I’m sure there’s a rider that stipulates what ford can do in the event of damage before delivery to dealer.

What does that have to do with anything he mentioned??

Whoa. When I said before that I thought your Bronco was buried beneath Dirt Mountain, I was just joking around...

No, just an order. But the dealer explained that THEY actually have legal rights to it and would have taken it as is, had it fixed, and sold as used.

I grabbed a beer. Now what?

I know, right? I actually thought it got swallowed in a sinkhole. So I wonder, when did it get damaged? How long has this fiasco been going on? AND WHY THE F CAN'T FORD TALK? The dealer is pissed....they call our rock stars the green peacers....lol.

My brother!! Just sit and laugh and cry and have another.

 

[Tdifonzo]

How much did it go for at auction? That money should be split between you and the dealer.

Great job, Ford! Really leading the way!
