[QUOTE="comprepsvo, post: 16688148, member: 22061"] In 2004 the original owner of # 33 filed a lawsuit against Ford Motor Company. He had bought it new and had a problem with the car running in the winter of 2003. He called SVT and they sent a Ford Tech to check the car out. The Tech downloaded a new program into the computer to make sure there were no problems for the car to un in cold weather. The following year, the Owner complained again that the car would not run in cold weather and it would die. In the State of North Carolina, they require a Factory Warranty on every new car sold. Even though the 00 R had a no warranty explanation from Ford. The Owner hired a lawyer and sued for the purchase price of the car, $65000. The Suit went to the State Court with Ford sending in an airplane load of lawyers for the hearing. The Judge presiding over the case, after arguments from both sides decided to see if an agreement could be reached before he made a decision. The two sides went out in the hallway and agreed to an agreement. Ford Motor Company would pay the Owner the sticker price and take the car. The Owner agreed and the rest is History. Ford called an Exotic Motor Car dealership in Macon, Georgia and asked if they would like to buy another car from them. A Ford Buy Back Car. They agreed, they paid and received the car. The car had around 2700 miles on it. I found the car, one week after they received it and purchased it from them! One of the best days in my life, when I went and drove that car home. All of this was told to me by a Ford SVT, 2000 R Team Member at VIR in 2006. [/QUOTE]
