Buy Backs and Lemon Law Trucks Where mine went:

[Bigisland Guy]

Just an FYI on what they did with my buy back truck. Truck was turned in to California Dealership in November of 2024 then in February of 2025 appeared at auction in St Lois Missouri. The truck is now at the Local Ford Dealership along with some other Buy Backs and Lemon Trucks in El Paso Illinois. The listed price is about $42K. I wish the next guy luck with the truck! It was an early production truck back in 2022 and had two bad battery modules, vin # was 2200. I did buy another F 150 Lightning as a replacement and we will see what happens over the next 8 years.

While looking for my used Lightning (via Cars.com), I constantly avoided these dealers who seem to have a plethora of buyback/lemons. They are definitely targeting those auctions for these models but I hope they also have great EV techs to valuate/repair them before putting up for sale.

Sometimes, the filter for "clean title" still lets these buybacks through. Also, carfax would always show those valid buybacks/lemon, which was helpful to avoid...but I still avoided these dealers altogether.

Huntley Ford - Huntley, IL
Capitol Ford of Charlotte - Charlotte, NC
Sneed Ford - Gower, MO

* - These dealers might also have a few non-buyback/lemons in their inventory.

OF NOTE: Nothing against these dealers personally, I just did not want to travel out-of-state to purchase and have issues that were "hopefully" fixed by Ford. In fact, I hope some of y'all have had great experiences with said dealers.
