manholt Report post Posted October 8, 2017 Cheryl, Give any dealer or retailer some slack in Houston for a while, please, we just had a CAT 4 Harvey and I'm surprised you got your tires this quick! Oh, don't buy a car anytime soon! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hermanmullins Report post Posted October 8, 2017 Good point Carl. Texas Governor Abbott has issued an order that no vehicle that was totaled due to results of the hurricane and flooding can not be re titled period. Good for Him. You know where they will all go now.

wayne77590 Report post Posted October 9, 2017 MacRee Ford, I-45S in Dickinson. TX was flooded real bad and they said they were going to crush all their cars and trucks. I'll tell you that there were hundreds of vehicles on that big lot. Hey, once South of the Border they will be straightened out and sent back to US.

wolfe10 Report post Posted October 9, 2017 Suspect new vehicles in inventory were still on floor plan. And, in Ford's best interest to just that-- CRUSH THEM. I remember decades ago when as a Nissan dealer I was called and told I would not be getting the inventory I was allocated. Story (true) was that the ship had salt water intrusion into the car decks. All vehicles were cleaned of petroleum products and a bulldozer pushed them into the ocean to create a new fish habitat. Particularly with the electrical/electronic systems on today's vehicles, even fresh water (not what is in any flood) totals them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
