2-dr, 2.7l VB Badlands. 9/27 blend date. Shipped on 9/28 via rail. Arrived at the train yard about 30 mins south of here last Wednesday, but the dealer didn't get it until last night. My sales guy started vacation today, so when I called them, they hadn't paid attention to the notes on my...

I went to my dealer this past weekend to get some preliminary paperwork filled out and a quote on my trade-in. My guy said not to worry as they were not pulling shenanigans like other dealers. Their quote came in higher than Carmax, who had given me the best quote for my RAV4. I was happy...
My wife had a car with a color very similar to AMB, and it always showed dirt horribly.
Scratches stuck out like a sore thumb too. Pretty color, but I would never get that one again.
As much as I am paying, I decided on zero compromises. I usually buy clearance cars, so this was my first time ordering something just like I wanted it. I understand commodity constraints, but it still bugs me getting emails from Ford asking customers to compromise. My 2-dr Badlands, V6...
Beyond the shitty situation, I'm still trying to wrap my head around what kind of moron paid $95k! That's what gets me with these ADMs that are ridiculous...people actually paying them!
