Ford buyback process
Does anyone have experience with the buyback process on a truck? How does the process normally work, and is it relatively easy/painless? Any help or info would be much appreciated!

I unfortunately ended up with a used truck that was originally re-aquired from its original owner (long story). However, in the 9 months that I've owned it, it has needed a new engine (#2), a new fuel system (#3), and a whole host of other repairs. Because I am now faced with the prospect of replacing the entire fuel system again, through no fault of my own, I am in the process of trying to get Ford to buy it back, or at least make an offer for a trade. I know my situation is quite different from a normal buyback, but I am doing what I can with the whole situation. My father is a lawyer which also helps. I was just wondering what the normal process looked like for my own reference.

I started down that road with my first 2004 6.0. I owned it 90 days of which the dealer drove it more than I did while I was making the payments. You're going to need all of the repair orders and the item must have been worked on at least three times to try to cure it. At least that was one of the criteria back then. You obtain Dealer Dispute Paper work (google this) from the dealer and fill it out, I believe that paper work comes from the service manager. I got lucky and didn't have to finish with that crap as its not a quick process. The dealer got me another truck and traded straight up, well almost I went from an XLT to a Lariat that cost me $1500 to trade up.

Documentation of EVERYTHING is the key...
Each states new vehicle lemon laws are different so google it for your state and read up on it...
but, in general, it's so long out of service the first year or 12k miles... typically 30 days.
The Mfg wants it off the front pages almost as much as you
so the two times - once with ford, once with gm) I did it over the years it was painless once the criteria has been met... heck, the ford dealer did most of the paperwork and legwork for me and, on top of that, found me a GREAT replacement just like I would have ordered it!
good luck

I'm also not sure why the OP thinks Ford should buy back a used vehicle.

I don't know if I'll get an official buyback, but it would be nice to at least trade it in.
