Manufacturer Buyback Program

Here at Lubbers, we're not only the Friendly Way to Buy, we're also the informative way to buy! So as a Select Dealer of Ford's Manufacturer Buyback Program, we want to be your knowledge base on what reacquired vehicles are, what they aren't, and address common questions surrounding these vehicles. Most importantly, we're here to help you make the BEST possible decision when purchasing your next vehicle.

What are Manufacturer Buyback Vehicles?

These are Ford vehicles that are sold new, reacquired by the manufacturer, inspected and repaired, and then offered for resale to the public at a substantial cost savings. Reasons that a vehicle may be repurchased vary extensively, from minor cosmetic defects, to substantial mechanical repairs. Buybacks can also result from extended timeframes required to obtain replacement parts, as well as the repurchasing of vehicles found without defect in order to maintain valued customer relationships. These  are NOT salvage repair vehicles.

Reliability and Resale

Once a vehicle is reacquired from the manufacturer, it goes through an extensive inspection and repair process to assure that any defect is corrected to Ford's quality and safety standards. Once all requirements are met, the vehicle will then be offered for resale. Before purchasing, you will be informed in writing of the reason a particular vehicle was reacquired by Ford.  In keeping with their brand commitment, Ford offers an additional 12 month/12,000 mile warranty (whichever is longer) to vehicles specific to the buyback program. Couple this with additional service plans offered at the time of sale, and you can rest easy knowing that the vehicle not only meets or exceeds manufacturer requirements, but also with the peace of mind that your vehicle is covered in the miles to come.

At Lubbers, we're not only in the automotive business, we're in the relationship business. We want to make sure that we communicate all available options, so we start the sales process by informing customers on the buyback status on eligible vehicles of interest. We also provide the individual history report so you can make an informed decision. Depending on the type of repair necessary to be buyback eligible, some vehicles may have a branded Autocheck/Carfax report. While we excel in maximizing vehicle values when you decide to trade or sell, you should expect the resale value to correlate with the cost savings you received at the time of purchase.
