[QUOTE="smurfslayer, post: 1345444, member: 21926"] There are different types of buyback. a buyback initiated by the manufacturer is disclosed voluntarily on the part of the manufacturer / dealer. Some states require vehicle titles be forever marked with the “scarlet letter” lemon law buy back if a customer sues and successfully defeats the manufacturer in court, OR, settles for either cash or a replacement. you would be foolish to purchase a vehicle that was the subject of a lemon law buy back and the title marked. In days gone by, you would have been similarly foolish to purchase a vehicle that was voluntarily bought back by a manufacturer. As much as it pains me to type this, there are some circumstances now that facilitate these conditions and they’re not always bad. One of them is that Ford and I’m sure the other manufacturers behave similarly, have adopted a “thin” inventory on replacement parts. Thin or virtual inventory means that the parts are searchable and findable in the parts inventory, but they don’t actually sit in a warehouse somewhere Ford or other manufacturers can get to them. You order the part from Ford, they order the part from the vendor, the vendor then reaches out to their maker who then procures and ships the part to the vendor, who in turn ships to Ford. This could take days, weeks, months, or... you may never get some items like in early 2017; a 10 speed transmission was not going to be had. A transfer case for a Raptor - no way. all of them were allocated to new vehicle production. Even now, if you lunch a hard part, it’s on national back order for 2-4 weeks. I’m sure this practice works well for the number crunchers, but it sucks for customer service and as a side effect, you can bust the lemon law threshold of 30 or 31 days with a single dealer visit in some cases. That’s penny wise, but pound foolish. So, does this make buying a buyback vehicle more palatable? only you can decide that. as far as Avalanche, it’s aesthetically pleasing, but it’s the 2nd slowest color, beating out only lead foot grey. :-P [/QUOTE]
