If I was a dodge/chevy/toyota dealership in the area and I heard about this I would offer to buy the vehicle from him for the price of one of mine. Then I would figure out what went wrong, put my best tech in the state on it or give it to my corporate engineers and show up the local dealerships. Then I would make a youtube of the whole thing and push that everywhere.
Here is my dealership stepping up to the plate when ford wouldn't. Here is my tech figuring out what went wrong with the vehicle when Ford couldn't. Here is the vehicle that I now use as my parts car 100K later running strong.
THAT would be awesome marketing.
You should post that over on the original forum. That's brilliant.
