It would be nice though if they thought of the special productions above a normal line. It would also be nice if they gave you a discount on Ford's you keep constantly buying. My last 6 cars have been a Ford.
I know it's about nothing other than money. That's why I find it funny that they want our opinions on how to improve their products. Lol. If they would like my help, I charge $250/hr. for consulting. Since it's all about money.

Ford credit could make something happen if they wanted to in regards to special vehicle buy-backs and trade-ins. They give rebates all the time through dealerships. They just don't want to.
