I contacted a rep that the service manager at my dealership set me up with. He escalated things to a regional case manager, or whatever, and we just had back and forth arguments (I want to clarify that we both actually got along quite well, but his lack of ability, or willingness, to help me was annoying) for about a week and a half. Then last Thursday he contacted me and said I hit the 30 days for the lemon law, and he will escalate the case to the RAV department for me in order to do a key for key replacement for a buyback. I got a phone call today (Monday) from RAV, so 2 business days. I haven't decided to go through with it, but things are moving quickly.
I am aware, but thank you. What I do does depend on how much I'll lose, but considering I only have 1k miles on the car I'd hope "usage fee" wouldn't be much. Unless they want to charge me $1 per mile.Be sure to know or read up on your State’s Lemon Law guidelines, Ford RAV adheres to those Laws. In some states the owner may have to pay out for fees or useage penalties. Just want you to be aware (and others) that the Buy Back (vehicle exchange or complete refund) may not be a straight up “key for key” swap.
Good luck with your decision.
It won't be, mine had 1250 miles & the fee was around $400. The calc varies by state, but most are very close. In FL it's price paid (less taxes, dealer fees etc.) x miles / 120,000.I am aware, but thank you.

Good for you man! I’m actually hoping a buy back or exchange is forthcoming for me. I don’t quite have the wallet to step up to a zl1, but I’ll probably roll the dice on another s550, so long as I can get one with an a10 and sync3 and not have to come out the pocket too much moreTomorrow is the 30 day mark for me. Car has been at the dealership the whole time. Already escalated my case to a customer care manager and told her I want the buy back option. She's supposed to follow up with me this Friday with the details. Also started a case with BBB. 1200 miles logged on the car. Hopefully its just a few hundred bucks and I'm off to the Chevy dealer for a new zl1. Insurance is cheaper too.
You usually have to pay the difference of the new car, from yours, at MSRP, if doing an exchange. At least that's what I've been told by Ford, their RAV department, and have been told on here as well.Good for you man! I’m actually hoping a buy back or exchange is forthcoming for me.

What was the BBB reason for denial??I’m at 14 days with no repair. I’ve got an email from the service manager saying it will be the middle of January before they can get to me. The BBB has already denied my claim, but I plan on appealing that when I get closer to the thirty day mark. Just playing the waiting game now
