Been reading on here for a little bit, thinking I should have found this group before I bought the ST. We drove 4 hours from STL to KC to pick her up on Friday. She's a metallic magnet 2020 with 7000miles. No street package, but it does have the roof and tech package. The black wheels thing has still not grown on me, I'm a little old-school and like a little shine on the shoes. I bought this without ever driving one; just going off reviews and the fact I've owned Fords for the last 25 years. I must say, I'm not disappointed...for the most part.
When signing paperwork, we found out the warranty started on 7/1/19 even though the AutoCheck has it first being registered as a lease on 11/6/19 when it had 20 miles. I was not happy about that, but after further research, sounds like a common practice in the auto world now. I didn't go through the vehicle very thoroughly when we got there. I had a $500 non-refundable deposit, we just drove 4 hours, and had a 4-hour drive back...it would have taken a LOT for me to not bring her home with me. Once we got home and I started playing with everything, I found my sunglasses holder won't stay shut, the headrest release on the third row will not operate, and the auto fold button for the 3rd-row driver side seat is stuck in. All minor inconveniences for now, but after reading here, I'm worried what's next. I looked, she was built in April 2019 in Chicago
This is like the worst possible build date and place right? I'm scared now. Gonna have to drive it a ton over the next 1.5 years to find the gremlins before the warranty is up. Anything specific I should be on the lookout for now?
Thanks,
Dough
