Very fitting that the new STeed was spotted by an old STeed

My pony experience has turned to custard.....after I'd identified a dozen areas (blemishes) on the paintwork to the dealership, they have had the vehicle three out of the four weeks since I initially took possession.
The dealership were unable to rectify the problem easily, saying the car would need to be resprayed. Not acceptable from my perspective so I've asked for my money back...sounds simple enough seeing the car has only done 473 kms with the majority of this kms being done by them....and this is where it's gone off the rails....
The matter has been passed over to a case worker for Ford Aust CRC, for them to assess the vehicle and then pass their findings onto a review board for deliberation.
All along I believe I've been more then reasonable while they have had full payment $56K and the car......but my patience is wearing thin.
From a sales / consumer perspective (or how I understand it) I am gob smacked.....at what point do I have to go down the legal track which is both added expense and time.

I hope it get's resolved quickly Brian.
I dare say the whole experience has left a bad taste in your mouth.

Brian
Unless the blemishes are serious, ie may lead to rusting, or are a real eysore, avoid a repaint at all costs. No matter how good the job is, a repaint will always devalue the car.
I will be in your neck of the woods on tuesday night. Happy to have a look and give an opinion if you wish. I spent 40 years as an automotive painter, so ive got a fair idea of what I am looking at.

Auto consumer advocate, Auto Expert on YouTube has a few interesting comments about Lemons, here's one of his videos https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gr6IYtWbweY

He's a bit in you face, but provokes thought and possibly a few good ideas.

I appreciate your offer Laurie , I've been in the automotive paint industry for 23+yrs.
I'm not agreeing to the offer of a respray and the dealership are saying another race red mustang is not available for another 8months....I don't wish to let them hold onto my money for that long, I want a full refund and may revisit the idea of a mustang at a latter date only this experience has overshadowed the idea for the immediate future

No Probs Brian, I didnt realise you had paint experience. Good luck with it all.
Laurie

I rec'd a phone call from the dealership a.m. today .....where Ford Aust declined my request for a full refund under warranty...the dealership has put their hand up and will come to the party....as I think they should have in the beginning before all the angST.
Cheers Brian

Glad to hear that it is finally going to be sorted (Took them long enough)

So do you have another beasty in mind to replace it?

Brian · « **Reply #35 on:** December 07, 2016, 09:22:28 PM »

I STill have this lil gem

Skip · « **Reply #36 on:** December 08, 2016, 06:59:12 PM »

Maaaaate. Can't believe that. Clearly no one has the money to upgrade. You will need a newbie to find this gem.

Brian · « **Reply #37 on:** December 08, 2016, 07:22:18 PM »

I can only think all here are happy with their current mount

Yep. Trying to sell ice to the Eskimo's. Good luck Brian.

You never know he may end up getting an ST within his budget and join the group. I've suggested he check us out.
