We bought a new focus in march using the employee voucher scheme and although we own the car we've been told we can't get rid of it for 9 months or ford could demand a refund.

If we sold it how would ford know that we had?

 

I dont think they said anythin like that to my mrs when she bought her focus with the voucher!

Dunno how they would know to b honest! perhaps they got somethin with the DVLA & they r informed when certain cars change ownership!

 

Yes they did say that to me.

Ford would need to be notified so that the maintenance would be valid for the new owner - at least that is what they told me.

 

We got told we couldnt sell the car because we would make a profit on it.

When we phoned the dealer yesterday and asked how much the voucher's are worth he told us it was 3 grand

 

Ok then I was wrong! I must of been lookin round the focus RS when they said that!

 

What happened to the Fiesta Zetec Craig

 

I'm going to put it up for sale today, this is the missus focus and she just wants something a bit bigger

 

correct you cannot sell the cars for at least 12 months

my dad has bought most his cars thru that scheme

 

yup thats correct...

and they know unless you dont want the warranty!

Thats what they all say mate

 

coont

 

Did you get the dump valve fitting kit Craig

 

Yeah you have to keep the car for 12 months otherwise employees could buy new cars and sell em straight on at a profit. Your voucher is worth whatever percentage off you are entitled to, so if you buy a 10K car for 7K you are entitled to 30% off in that case 3K.

 

Yes Paul I sent the lad a pm and will be paying him this friday, cheers for spotting it what you doing saturday?

 

I'll be around in the morning but in the afternoon, im off to Donnington for some track action & National Day Sunday.

 

give you a call tonight Paul

 

its been like that for as long as can remember and your dealer should be fully aware of it.....if you do sell it on and Ford find out the employee who supplied the voucher can be sacked or loose all privilages to further discounts...... You have been warned...
