The dealer might share your sentiments.GT500Convert said:
Check your PMs.
I guess it depends who owns and runs the dealership. The one I go to has bent over backwards to do right by me. All dealerships are run by different types of people. If they are doing you wrong Ford wants to know about it.
I would think that FORD would let you take delivery from another dealer in your area. It doesn't make any sense to me that you would take delivery from WENDLE FORD!! Your just asking for " MORE " problems.

Holy madness...
I was duped by a dealership several years ago in a similar way. After fighting with several managers including the GM, the issue wasn't getting resolved. A letter from a lawyer and the dealership owner realizing we were related quickly solved the problem.
It really does sound like they scammed the hell out of you. I would have never taken the car home in that condition. I would have documented the issues with photographs & such, then brought the car to the dealership and left it there.
I believe you have every right to seek a refund for money you've lost, however I wouldn't be concerned about where this car ends up. Just hope the new owner wasn't as impatient as you to get the car home without inspecting it with a fine tooth comb. This right here is exactly what allowed me to get bent over and take it hard from a dealership. I trusted them, looked the car over quickly and had a blast driving it home, I was more concerned with driveline issues (my inexperience of buying new cars along with excitement). Turned out the car had a little accident that required every panel be replaced minus 1 door, which they skinned. (even the ROOF had work, but they wouldn't admit what happened).
My situation worked out for the best, I had the car for one year and upgraded to my Cobra.
Best wishes..

I bought a mustang GT,in 1997,my mother was with me. I traded a F150-Eddie-Bower on it and it was paid in full my F150. On the way home my mother and I heard a noise in the transmission,and at the same time we said take it back,and get your truck back. I put about a 150,miles on it total,with the return trip back to the dealership. Well first thing they said was they wanted to fix the transmission. I said I do not want this vehicle,and want my truck back. Well we went round and round,salesman/Mgr., said they sold my 1996-F150-Eddie-Bower. I said when i left it was closing time and you sold it. Well I went looking for it and you guessed it,they hid it with the wrecked salvage vehicles . Man when I came back after walking a good 700-feet or more with one good leg and the other with a prostic-Hip replacement,in the winter you know I was up-set. Well then I asked the salesman go get my truck that you said you sold after I left and showed him where it was hid so i could not find it. You see when I got home I left a message for the salesman that night I was bring the Gt back in the morning. I was there for 6:00-AM,in the morning. Well they made me buy my truck back on a trade in with the mustang and owing on a truck that was paid in full .I then said ok I buy it back,but the first Lawer I come across I will seek advise on this issue,refering when I got back to Lafayette,La.,. I was advised that Louisiana has a no trade act Law,which protects the consummer on the Lemon-LAW. Well my attorney wrote the letter,to Ford,Ford Motor=Credit-Dept.,and the Dealership. First Ford called me for how the transaction happened. I told them,and the next thing I find is my Title in my Mail-Box,then I received the $1,500.00,I put down from Ford,and cancleld the note I owed on the 1997 Mustang GT,and on my F150 that they made me buy back,with a cancled note on both vehicles. Ford did not mess around with this car,and the dealer had to settle with Ford not me. As of today I do not know what happened to the mustang GT,but it did not take Ford long to settle this up with me. I mean in like 3 months and I had my title back and the $1,500.00,from Ford. But if I would not have seeked legal advise I would have been stuck by this dealer. They told me I had not a leg to stand on ,you talk about got me fired up ,and responded with your right. I may have only one good leg,but we'll see how strong it is,refereing to the other leg had a hip replacement,and they did know that. But you need to get a Good Attorney,that you can really trust,and if it means driving a 100,miles to find one do it. Right is Right if every one is doing it,and wrong is wrong if everyone is doing it. Just my experience with a product that was sour from the first few miles on it. I thank God for listening to my Mother and Bring that car back as i did,the next day/morning. Just my experience with a dealership,but Ford was on the ball,they did not waste time or attorney fees to make me happy. Ford took care of me first class all the way,more then I can say for this dealer. I own a 2007 Shelby GT500-coupe/White/Blue-Lemans Stripes,and I love it.I had a 1996,1998,Cobra,2000,Lightning,and a 2003-S281Cobra#97,and as of now a 07/Shelby Gt500,that I've been waitting for since 1968,and my Dream car has finially in my possesion. Just my experience I thought I'd share,sorry for being long winded.
