A few weeks ago I got rid of my 15 PP Ecoboost. Had just shy of 10,000 miles on it. I had a bunch of issues as far as suspension creeks and clunks, knocking when cold and turbo squeaks.
Long story short, when I went to sell it at a dealership, my friend told me it was in a front end collision and worth substantially less than I paid. I told him it wasn't and that I had an "evidence Manual" from Miller Ford where I purchased it from showing a clean vehicle history using autocheck.
He sent me the carfax and showed me that it was indeed in an accident and needless to say i freaked out! I called the dealership and they basically denied me and said that the carfax must be wrong.
After about a month of bogus and detective work, I finally found the police report from the accident, went back to Miller Ford and they took the car back and gave me my money back. I gave them the benefit of the doubt after that and thought maybe they just took for granted it only had 2500 miles on it when they purchased it and were just being negligent. (Apparently they only use autocheck and not carfax there, never heard of a dealer doing that).
But here is where it gets really good!
Upon me looking online at mustangs I came a cross a 2015 ecoboost with 9850 miles for sale on their site. I click on it and wouldn't you know its my old car! Accept they still have it advertised as a 1 owner vehicle with a clean vehicle history and no accidents!!!
So in closing,
1) If you are looking for a ecoboost mustang with low mileage, creaking aftermarket suspension and a ticking turbo that was in a front end collision and want to pay full price for it then check out their listing!!
2) They are asking $2,000 more than what i paid for it 6 months ago before they "knew" about the accident.
3) Absolutely ALWAYS USE CARFAX! autocheck or any of the others are garbage and only trust carfax.
4) I knew dealers could be sketchy, but these guys just have some big balls to try and pull this twice with the same car.
