Well, it is a sad day…the dealership has had the VX for the past two weeks to correct the oil burning issue but no work has been done. First, they said they were waiting on parts, then they claimed that since this vehicle was repossessed, the bank is supposed to cover half of the cost of repairs and the dealership is responsible for the other half. The dealer says the bank is balking at having to pay for an engine rebuild (of course the bank may say the same thing about the dealer!)

Luckily, the dealer agreed to let me return the VX for full credit and take back the Bronco. Financially, that is my best move for now, but it sure turns my stomach now that I have the “devil truck” back again and the shiny VX is setting back at the dealer.

I will also put the word out early…(mods, if you want to post this in a different thread for maximum viewing, feel free or let me know and I will do it)

BUYER BEWARE – 1999 Ironman VIN JACCN57XXX7991612 – BURNS OIL about 1qt / 450 miles. It will probably be going to auction in the mid-west (ie, Kansas City, Topeka, KS - Wichita, KS area)
