Lemon Law Trucks

What happens to the 6.0s once they have been lemon lawed? Where do they go? and are they available for repurchase?

my guess is no. I think they either go back to michigan or get scrapped. My guess is the first.

They can be resold if they are marked so, or sometimes I think that they move them from state to state to cleanse the title. A copy of the OASIS report will tell you at least from Ford if someone tried to cleanse it under the table.

As long as the dealer discloses the fact it was a buyback they can resell it to anyone.

thats why they do buybacks instead of lemmon law, no record and they take them right to the dealer auction. and sell to someone else. I have a customer in the auto business,he tells me there are 5 to 10 6.0 psd trucks at the dealer auction every month. here in memphis, he said most are bought by out of state buyers, he buys for the 3 dealerships his family owns and says he wont touch a 6.0 but will jump on a nice 7.3.

Mine is actually a buyback truck, there's a sticker inside the driver's door. I believe mine was bought back because of the injector problems and once they found out the fix, they reprogrammed it and sold it. Mine did come from out of state, I don't care. A 100k warranty is a 100k warranty.
