If there is any damage from the transport, it will be painted. They are not required to reveal this repair unless it exceeds a certain amount.

I haven't purchased a NEW Ford since 1996 because I had 2 horrible experiences with brand new Fords (1993 & 1995 model years) and vowed never to buy a new Ford ever again.
It's a real shame as I really like the Flex and had my heart set on it ever since I saw them in the magazines as prototypes. I thought maybe the Flex would be my way back into the Ford family...especially since Ford's quality has come up according to recent surveys.
On a brighter note...the interior is qorgeous and looks well put together.
Oh well...maybe I have to wait a little longer for the quality to improve.
The quality isn't too bad now. Just be aware of "other circumstances" that might change things.
