The disclosure only applies to the original purchaser after the buyback - the one who bought it before you did back in 2010. I don't think there was any requirement by the dealer to disclose anything - caveat emptor:

that is posoble. Don't know. I have filed with the Ar comsumer protection so will let the tell if it is or is not.

According to the Oasis, do you know when it was bought back? I know there is paperwork the 2nd owner needs to sign for lemon law disclosure, but after that I have no idea what the disclosure requirements would be. As a 2008 Shelby, it is likely that the car was lemon lawed by 2010 at the latest and you are at least the third owner. Best of luck - any Ford store should have run an Oasis during their recon process. I'm not sure if there is legal recourse.
What I have is the car fax which does not state in their lemon law section as being a lemon. It does state on the detailed history as being sold on 1.21.08. It then has "title or registration transfered to manufacturer" on 7-21-10 and being resold at auction on 8-30-10. This would have been the date Ford bought it back. On the oasis report it shows a reacquired veh war exp on 9-16-11 distance 16089. The sticker does say that it came with a warranty for one year. Another person purchased the car on 9/17-10 and resold when I bought it on 9-4-13 with 31200 miles on it. The second owner liver in OK and I do not recall at this time if the title had lemon law buyback on it or not when I registered the car here in Arkansas. I have not received my title yet so do not know if it is on that or not. At this time I am just trying to find out what happened and why I was not told of this fact and why they refuse to acknowledge they knew about it. Theeir claim is they have so many car they cannot run a oasis report on them.

That might be so but what I have from them says nothing about that. Actuall all they gave me was a sales form showing the cost and final price, a road sid assistance policy, a 3 month power train warranty, and a odometer certification. That is it. Nowhere on any of those is it noted as a lemon law buy back. Will have to wait and see where this goes. But I am not done yet.

...and you bought the car anyway? Now you want compensation for the 'lost value'? The time to negotiate that was during the purchasing process...Ford properly labeled the car and it is on the Oasis report as well...did the used car manager accidentally (on purpose) miss the placard AND the report in the service bay? That's his story and he is sticking to it...
Because I did not see the sticker until AFTER I bought it. They NEVER said anything about it being there or that it was a buy back. If I had known about the buy back ahead of time I would have wanted a discount. Too bad they never informed me of it and now say too bad.

I did not see the sticker until I went looking for the color code on the door plate AFTER I had already paid for it. It was at that time I saw the buy back sticker and went back to the dealer. They NEVER pointed that out to me or in any way told me that it was a buy back. I was NEVER informed or that fact. So far the response I have gotten from Ford is that each dealer is independent and they have no control over how they do business. I would think they cwould care about how dealers representing their brand dealt with their customers. I have been a loyal Ford man for 50 years and I might have to rethink that seeing how this is going.
Why did you even buy it when you saw the sticker????
Can't be mad at them when you KNEW what you were getting into.

Hi
I am new here but I am so po'd and the local Ford dealer that I am vening to everyone I can. The Lewis Auro Group in Fayetteville, Ark has the sleezist used car sales that I have ever seen. The history is I bought a used 08 Ford Shelby GT500 Mustang from them. They claimed that there was nothing wrong with the car. After the purchase I find out the it was a factory lemon law buyback, Since I was never told of this fact before hand I went back to the dealer to see what could be done about it. I talked to Shelby Lewis who is in charge of the used car department. He told me that they go by what is on the car fax. The car fax does not show it being a lemon. But the car fax does show that it had the title turned back to the factory. I explained that the car has right on the door next to the vin sticker a sticker stating that it was a factory lemon law buyback. I also showed him the oasis report on it that shows it being bought back. He still insisted that since the car fax did not show it they did not know about this and therefore not responsible for the error and therefore wojld do nothing. He did offer to buy it back at a loss to me. All I wanted was some compensation for the difference between the lemon law resale price and the regulat resale price. But no go so I am letting everyone know not to deal with Lewis Ford which is part of the Lewis auto Group. This has got me so mad that I am thinking of locating an attorney and see what can be done. The Arnansas State law says the lemon law cars MUST be revealed before resale which they did not. Thanks for listening.
