[QUOTE="13COBRA, post: 16246932, member: 138337"] 1.) The dealer won't/can't give you the name of the previous owner. Reason being, they don't know who it is. Ford Motor Company buys the vehicle back, titles it in FoMoCo's name, then sells it at auction. There will be 0 record of the first/previous owner (accessible by the purchasing dealership). 2.) A Manufacturer Buyback is the same as a Lemon Law Vehicle or Reacquired Vehicle. 90% of all lemon law/RAV vehicles are bought back from consumers in the state of California. I think it's something like if you bring in a vehicle 3 times within a certain timeframe, it's eligible. Kinda a joke to be honest. Some vehicles do have issues and should be bought back, but a lot of them is a case of buyer's remorse and they are abusing the system. I purchased a 2016 Fusion Hybrid last summer at auction, it was an RAV from California. The reason it was bought back was that it would intermittently not turn over when you start it. Well, for anyone that has ever driven a hybrid, they know that unless it's really hot or really cold out, the gas motor won't turn over when you start it. Every single 2012-2016 Ford Focus should have been purchased back, but only the ones in California were. The dealership that is selling it will have a form showing what the complaint was. 90% of them will have the solution listed as "NPF" no-problem-found, however some will have an actual issue with a correction. The manufacturer extends the factory warranty on RAV vehicles which is nice, but sometimes it's a challenge finding banks that will finance them, as they have a 'branded' title. [/QUOTE]
