Looking for new used truck . Lemon law?

[p-Bar]

well thought I'd let it sit at the dealer a bit so I could go in and negotiate, that didn't happen sold in 8 days....

Never seen anyone complain about "Getting Lucky" before. I suggest you get a lotto ticket with a good luck streak like that. Seriously I don't think you know how lucky you got avoiding a lemon. I am as candid and serious as it gets.

Now go find a deal on a decent non-lemon truck...

Yeah. According to my dealer, these trucks are in high demand. They know the used ones sell fast.

They call me every so often asking if I want to sell.

Apparently a lemon title didn't deter someone from buying it

Buying a supposedly fixed lemon buyback makes no logical sense to me. FCA doesn’t just roll over and buy back a customers vehicle without a lawsuit or arbitration. FCA does everything to try to repair the vehicle before reaching that stage. Yet somehow we are to believe that after a buyback occurs, magically, the unfixable now is 100% repaired. If FCA can fix it after the buyback, why wasn’t it fixed prior to?
And its suspect to me that the buyback always seems to end up on a sales lot several states away from where the original owner lives. Why is that?

The mechanic drove it home for a while and put 2k miles on it.Can't do that with a customers vehicle

Can you get full coverage insurance on a buy back truck?

I have had no trouble getting full coverage on rebuild vehicles. Maybe a buy back would be different but I don't know why.
Sorry you missed out on this truck - plenty more out there.

Sorry, but FCA buys back most vehicles (that they know about in time) that qualify before they file a law suit or arbitration. And most are repaired before the repurchase. There are exceptions, but they try and do the right thing up front. Once an attorney gets involved it cost FCA hundreds of thousands of dollars to defent one to trial. They are well aware that taking care of them up front when possible is by far the best way to go.

^^^ Ummm, yeah. This makes sense. Not only financially, but also in defending the company reputation?

This is a great description of my trip down the rabbit hole with FCA........they did try everything they knew to fix it, right up until they said they can't fix it.....and to live with the issue. They only replaced the truck because arbitration said they have to. As Sag verified, there were no more repair attempts for the issue (previous post #15)....
My replacement truck was ordered, took the usual 10-12 weeks to arrive, I got to drive the old one until it was delivered. In addition to the unresolved electrical problems the truck still had when I turned it in to the dealer, both rear axles seals were leaking, windshield washer pump didn't work, and the courtesy lights on both rear doors didn't work. Again, no other repairs were mentioned in FCA's records.

Unfortunately there are boat loads of lemon law and arbitration Ram owners who would vehemently disagree with you.
