ford is driving me nuts - Page 2

It doesn't really make any sense to me as you can buy out your lease at anytime correct? There may be a penalty for buying out early but nevertheless it shouldn't be any different if Chevy buys the car. In my opinion I would tell ford to take a flying leap in a rolling donut and express that time is money... Do they plan on paying you for your time strolling in their dealership for absolutely nothing. You really shouldn't have to deal with it nor should you have to appear at their dealership.

i know-- it makes no difference--- i coulda just bought the car at the end of the lease-- and went 2 chevy and said here i own this car and owe 12300 on it- -- i mean would that have made it better????.... its like common- wtf is the difference? chevy is just doing it for me- they bought it , they are willing 2 pay whats remaining on it-- ford is being unreal at the moment-- do they need sales that bad!?!?

blackthunder · 07-05-2011, 08:59 PM

i dont know what the lease stated--- i did a few mods- exhaust cia headers... i mean--- there woulda been no difference if i just bought the car from ford? i just dont get it-- regardless they will get there money for the dam car?

I'm strangely curious to see how this plays out

Keep us posted and good luck man.

So the assumption here is that everything that the guy from the Chevy dealer is saying is true.......And he is a car salesman......... Yea, right........More likely they had to pay more than they thought and are now trying to get some more money out of you.....Tell them you got busy and forgot to call them for a few months....

Slow2011SS · 07-05-2011, 09:02 PM

Ahh, Still the deal is done. Let them talk but you don't owe them anything. Same thing happened with my old man when he bought a 96 Mustang years ago. They made a mistake and told my dad to come in as they needed to discuss "Missing Money"... They sold the car 3k cheaper than they should have and my dad told them to flip off... DO NOT RE WRITE A CONTRACT. They tried pulling that with my dad. Your contract is set in "Stone"

Not cool. Hope it works out for you. Can't for the life of me see how it should be your problem.

was not the salesman-- its actually a financial guy who is a friend of mine- thats the messed up part

08GT500 · 07-05-2011, 09:07 PM

People trade in modded cars all the time. The lease is really no issue as Ford is not buying the car back. I hope you do not end up seeing a different side to your friend and all works out. They can't take back your Camaro. It is now used and registered in your name. As others have stated, do not agree to rewrite any contract.

blackthunder · 07-05-2011, 09:09 PM

i def will not-- im def no dummie towards the game-just upset how things r playing out at the moment and curious what will happen

You can't do mods that aren't reversible on leased cars, unless you buy the car at the end of the lease. The Chevy dealer probably planned on returning the car to Ford, but Ford won't accept it with the mods unless you buy or lease another car from them. Pretty standard stuff. Ford owns the car, and they can stipulate that only the lessee (you) can buy it from them. Trading in a leased car to a different manufacturer is probably never as simple as you were led to believe. Sounds like the Chevy dealer really screwed up.
