For whom: The Buyer or the Flipper?

Seems like Ford is trying to prevent immediate flipping as the buyer will have to wait one year before reselling. This should result in more vehicles in the hands of buyers who actually want the vehicle for their own use.

If I buy the car I should be able to do what I want with it. Flip it or burn it.

Ford needs to get there shit together and start meeting supply demands
Stop using Covid as an excuse

If you don't like the terms of the Contract, nobody is forcing you to buy a Ford Lightning in the first place . They are not putting the clause in on deals that have already been made .

I do think however a person should be able to sell it for what they paid for it in the first year of Contract.

I think it's a good thing to stop " Scalping " or " Flippping " of vehicles

Just my Opinion, if you disagree that is just fine . Not going to argue .
Neither one of us has any control over it anyways. It is up to Ford and prospective future buyers based on any Contract they both agree to and sign.

Based on the suggested language in the memo to dealers, it looks like it would be up to Ford to decide whether to go after someone who sold their Lightening. It's not a lien, and it wouldn't trigger automatically.

My guess is they will concentrate on scalpers and let the folks who just sell at or near the original sales price go. But that's just a guess.

You are really out of touch with reality. I guess the inflation we are seeing has nothing to do with Covid and supply and demand also. Gee I also wonder why ALL the dealer lots are not filled with new cars as they once were.

I guess you think that all the people at Ford corporate are just so happy with this current situation and that they have no profit motive.
