I have some buddies of mine and even some of the techs at work say, I should have fought for more money. But I tell them, that its sold as, there is no warranty unless i can prove this was an issue before the sale. Which I tried but the vehicle was serviced at a local garage and not a ford dealer. I am happy I got the 500:) In terms of the dealership, I refuse to deal with any dealership in the local area and drive about 1 hour to get to my ford dealer. The dealer where I bought the car from was local and one I said i'd never deal with, but I traded them my rx-8 with a cooked tranny :) oh and before I forget, The engine is almost in guys...the headers are on, and the engine is just waiting to be hooked up and wired in :)

I guess 500.00 is better than a kick in the nuts with steel toed boots. I would love to see pics/video's when you are finished.

Better then nothing for sure!! London dealers are not the best at all. I too go out of my way to an out of London dealership, and get way better service, and made a few new friends out of it aswell.
Glad to see things are moving along for you.

You have to go further north to hit the best dealer though.

^^^^tehehehehe. Metro Ford has treated me like royalty. When they are done with the car they take it downstairs away from the public etc. The big thing that would scare me is if during the summer and a hailstorm rolled through like 2 years ago=ouch ding shiat lol

That's good. I hear you one the hail thing, imagine having to worry about 150+ vehicles.

Two summers ago Metro Ford GSL Chev City and Renfrew Chrysler (with 1-2 k's of each other) got pummelled by a hailstorm. Metro was the smallest dealer by a wide margin and roughly 150 cars were dinged. The Chev and Chrysler dealers had roughly 250+ cars each dinged i.e. every car outside got dented. My old-timer friend Ross (3 Ponies) was driving d.t in his Shelby GT and he got hammered as well. I can't imagine what the 3 dealers submitted in claims along with all the cars parked outside while the owners were inside working. I know where every last parkade is, loading docks, +15's etc so I could have gotten out of the way if I was driving at the time.

There are 3 dealers with a 1-2 k radius with a total of 700 cars that all got dinged = ouch
