We now know that Ford imposes fines on dealers who do not disclose buybacks to buyers...it seems that someone there would want to pay a little more attention.
Has the dealer offered to take it back? Or have they offered anything at all other than we will fix it?
Inquiring minds just gots to know.

Rhetorical Question
How does "giving them a chance to fix the problem", resolve the issue of selling a buy-back truck, without first alerting the buyer of the truck's status ?? 
The issue is, simply, full disclosure in the sale of the vehicle, without which, the dealership has no standing in the argument to take the truck back, and place the buyer back into the position he was in, prior to signing the sales contract.
No a very challenging concept.

I'm with Luke on this one. Disclosure would have a big impact on price and my decision to purchase.
Ford did recondition the truck and yes any problems can be fixed.
Why would the dealer hide this fact..... thinking someone at the stealership needs a few knots on the noodle.

Agreed. The issue is not whether they will fix it or not. Immaterial at this point.
By not providing full disclosure they have sold a vehicle under false, misleading, and dishonest pretenses.
One would think that they would be on the verge of popping a "brand new in the box" truck on you and tell you to have a nice day.
No...that would require integrity...which appears to be a short coming of your dealership.
Very much good luck to you in your pursiut of truth, justice, and the American way.

No way. Get a lawyer, if they won't deal. No way in Hades I would take a buyback vehicle, especially the 6.0. They have to have some major issues just to get Ford to buy them back. You got the bend over treatment. The first owner couldn't get it fixed, or Ford would not have bought it back. Maybe it can get fixed.....eventually. But you didn't buy that up front. They don't have a leg to stand on.

Simply think, and use these terms with them, only once:
Material fact (withheld)
Negligent or Intentional withholding of a material fact.
Full disclosure of a material fact.
"Buy-Back" status of vehicle, the disclosure of which, would have had a major impact on any reasonably thinking potential buyer's decision on whether, not only to purchase, but the bidding price.
Dealer has knowledge of this, or should have had, should the dealer claim they "didn't know".
Assuming that the truck is found to have been a "buy-back", the above conditions not only support the immediate "recession" of the sales contract, but also support the position/claim for punitive damages; Not just the "recession" of the sales contract. Punitive damages are levied as a penalty for such actions on the part of the dealership.
You could actually negotiate this yourself.
