NorthGeorgia Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 Hello, I have the opportunity to purchase a 2023 Navigator that was a 'Buy Back'. The supposed problem was the 'Auto Start Stop' would intermittently not function. I am told the remainder of the Factory Warranty is still valid plus there is an additional 12,000 mile/12 month warranty....which I assume is for the specific problem it was bought back for? Can one assume the 'problem' has been remedied? I am asking for I assume there are many of you who are more knowledgeable about these type of things than I am. thanks P.S. -> I see there is a 3rd party product that can eliminate the 'Start Stop' permanently....would this be an applicable item for this type of situation?

Dlcorbett Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 Def grab the extended warranty. I don't think the auto start function would be a buy back. There's probably something else wrong that they aren't telling you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That will show all the service calls. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorthGeorgia Posted March 19 Author Share Posted March 19 I sure appreciate the helpful info. I got the OASIS report. The abbreviations are kinda confusing, but I think I got the gist of what was being reported. "If" I interpreted the findings correctly the problems were identified and corrected. Yes, unfortunately the owner had to do a repeat on it, but I guess to make the customer happy and not cause any negative reviews for the LUXURY Dealer they bought the vehicle back. The dealer I am contemplating buying this car from is a very reputable Ford dealer and I guess sells 'buy backs' that they deem are quality vehicles. I have attached the OASIS form I received. If any of you better understand what they indicate I would appreciate your advice. bray oasis.pdf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akirby Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 Ahh….nothing more than a doa battery and they forgot to reset the Battery Management System. No worries at all. Just FYI the term buy back implies Lincoln bought it back but it sounds like the customer just traded it in on something else which is completely different.

NorthGeorgia Posted March 19 Author Share Posted March 19 Just additional info. This vehicle was sold by the original dealer in an 'Auto Auction' after the buy back.....as I understand it. The dealer here where the vehicle is now is in Georgia. The vehicle was originally in Florida. How that affects the 'Title' I am not sure. It was explained to me the vehicle will NOT have a 'Branded' Title once titled in Georgia? I am still kinda on the fence.............

akirby Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 Ok that sounds worse. Maybe call Lincoln and ask for history? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
