Ford did not pay for the rental car. The dealer eat that. Also any extras cost the dealer not Ford. You just had a good dealership.
I have been on the back side at both car and equipment dealers. The customer thinks that Ford/company is paying the dealership for the total cost. The dealer is making up a lot of the little things not the company. Those cost have to be covered from profits made else where.

He quit selling them. He just told all the diesel customers that he could not get any diesel models. HE said he was better off never selling the lemon than losing money.
