Always been the case of large waiting times to buy a Ford. I suspect they have always had the employee's.

But hey, lets not let the truth get in the way of slandering a company now shall we.

Ace continues to spout his total crap regarding Ford. Man do you have a screw loose? Geez, give it a rest dude.

Fortune lists Ford as America's 5th most profitable company, and the 4th ranked car company worldwide. Very profitable, well run, producing excellent products with a long tradition.

When Transam is asking about them you will be well ready to chime in then.

Would you happen to be the fellow who worked as a CIA assassin and was able to pick profitable stocks without any research and amassed a portfolio over 30 million USD? All by the the you were 21.

It was also the ONLY US auto manufacturer properly positioned during the financial crisis that didn't need, nor took a dime from the government. They've had some classic designs over the years and still continue to.

Given your difficulties with them on your truck, your defense of them is admirable and says quite a lot IMO, if they can still invoke that level of loyalty.. Myself I can't think of too many manufacturers I would hold in that high regard were I messed around with like that..

Don't be fooled Warpie. I was a staunch Ford person having owned hundreds of them over the years. The one I currently have will be sold at the first available moment and I'll never own another Ford again.

[Ace of Pop]

I am a Ford Fan generally, its that here in Thailand they are shoddy allroud regarding Customer Care and Product Range. My friend is stuck with a Bad Auto Box, 3Years left to pay, and hes not well off enough to dump it. Thats fact, not rubbish

And Ford roll out the excuses why the repairs are not covered by warranty.

FORD = Found On Rubbish Dump.

FORD = Fix Or Repair Daily.

For many years I drove as part of my living. About every 6 months I would get a new car, however, I had to take what I was given and it was either a Holden Commodore or a Ford Falcon. Personally I don't care for either of the brands, rubbish motor cars.

I never had much of a problem with any of the Holden, dozens of them. Occasionally something would come up, but no big dramas. Certainly could not say the same about the Fords. Terrible. I use to joke, anyone buying one of these should budget for at least 2 of them. That way, while one was being repaired the other could be used for driving, by the time the first one was repaired again. it's backup would be on the blink. All the cars were driven hard, really hard, however the Fords always seemed to suffer the most.

It would have to be a cold day In H e l l before I bought either of these brands, however, if I were forced into the situation I'd avoid the ford at all cost. If I was gifted a Ford, I'd burn it, just to save so e poor other bugger going through all the pain.
