I hope they gave you a good loaner.

maybe the UK is different, but when the truck goes in, they give you a loaner comparable to your pickup.

I think your dealer is different, not the UK, the majority of dealers don't even have loaners. Mine does, but all you get is a Focus.

glad to hear you have it back...

if i had to have a focus instead of my f-150 I would be an angry human being, free fuel in a company van is much better

glad you got her back. I'll bet your problems are why the original owner sold it

you only get a free loaner if you own the Premium Care ESP...or your dealership likes you

otherwise, the money comes out of their pocket, and most dealerships are too tight fisted for that

Thats what mine did, actually they up graded me ALOT!! The owner of the dealership gave me the F350 (4x4, lariat, crew cab, shortbox, 6.0L PSD,) that he was using at the time, this was back in either 06 or 07. I didn't want to get my truck back, I would have loved just to keep the loaner.

Also i couldn't take it to a Ford dealers as ford UK wouldn't touch it!!

I had to take it to an American Car Specialists. They arent big enough to have a fleet of loaners. When i had my Focus RS i always used the dealer and asked for a comparable car. They were a bit stuck at that one. there were only 2000 in the UK ha ha
