FWIW - The Better Business Bureau will handle the case free of charge. You don't have to retain a lawyer. Their decision, based on their researching the case and your state's lemon law, will begin an arbitration and they act on your behalf. Day 21. - Og

 

Sick work on the flow through. Great job, dude. - Og

 

Thanks, and feel free to leave comments in my build thread too.

 

Still no word from the dealer or Ford. Looking like a helluva Christmas. Day 23. - Og

 

Day 30 will hit right on christmas eve, right? Could be a helluva present to hear it's bought back

 

I know you don't want to count your chickens before they hatch. But have you started shopping?

 

Yeah, but if it goes over, I won't bother contacting anybody until after the holidays. You know, give them a few extra days to get their $#!% together. - Og

 

You're right. They may actually surprise me during the 11th hour. Never can tell. I've looked at a loaded '13 Edge Sport and got a good price. Didn't go thru with a test drive or nothing - just window shopping. Either way this ends, I'm not keeping the Focus ST. I'll trade it, but hopefully, Ford buys it and completely clears me of the liability - plus a check for my F150 trade. - Og

 

^^^ Sharp!

Fingers crosser fer ye, Og! Let us know, sir....

 

Either the Edge or a beater, single cab that I'll get totally customize-ingly crazy on. Thanks for the support. I let you know as soon as I hear. - Og

 

I was just talking with a guy that will be buying an ST from us and I almost felt obligated to tell him to watch for oil leaks

Also just had a 65 year old do a pretty decent burnout in an automatic Town Car in front of a dozen customers . . . S

 

I hope they get this issue resolved for you before the holidays! I'd ditch that ride too if I were you! Good luck & keep us posted!

 

Oooooo...Me likey the sound of a single cab beater. 5.0 then modify. Performance mods...Roush charger, etc....

Yeah, do that!

 

Seriously, I hope my oil leak was an isolated incident. I really like the ST. If I ever owned another, I think I'd order it first. 65 year old burning out a Town Car? Classic. - Og

 

Before the holidays would be ideal. But, no rush. I wouldn't purchase anything right now. It'll be after the new year comes in. Maybe that'll bring some more savings on a new '13. I'll keep the info flowing. - Og
