[QUOTE="Garrett7864, post: 716888, member: 51089"] Jake, I also have a 2020 Aviator which has been in the shop for 5 weeks and counting for replacement of an engine cylinder head. This was my 3rd Lincoln, and 4th overall Ford product after moving away from Chrysler and GM. Prior to getting the Aviator, I had a 2016 MKX which was sabotaged by a disgruntled mechanic. He drained out most of the oil, and then I put 3000 miles on it with cross country trip from Toledo Ohio, to Alabama, and back. It took 2 weeks to fix that one, also by replacing a head. So I was not blaming Lincoln per se. Now I've had it with this long delay. And it has also shown those "power-train faults", that cannot be duplicated at the shop. And it "seems" to be fine after those faults. But I wonder if next time it just barfs the gears. Anyway I am keenly interested in the Lemon Law tactic. I did that once with a Chrysler Minivan years ago, and it was not very pretty financially. I was given back "trade-in" value for the lemon, and charged for mileage I had put on it, so I lost out the difference between what I paid out to get it and the trade-in value, which was many thousands. So I am not looking forward to repeating that, because I see the trade-in value for my $74K Aviator is about $55K. Ouch to the tune of $19K. I will not accept that. They'll just have to fix the dam thing! SOO, my question to you is (in your detailed example) did you get any credit for the $40K from the trade-in? I'm hoping you were only out the tax difference between tax on $31K and tax on $70K. Don't get me wrong, that is significant, but at least it is only a difference of $2400. How much do you think if I'd get back if I just said "I'm done", give me back all my money minus mileage, and I'll get something else, non Ford/Lincoln. FYI thinking a Mercedes instead.
