That would make the car Shelby's still.....and if I were Shelby, I would take possession of the car and would not release it unil I was paid for it.

That's how business works, boys.

Seems to me the beef is between the customer and the dealer - sure the manufacturer SHOULD get involved, but they are not required to.

As I work for a manufacturer, I occasionally see situations where a customer gets a bad deal from a dealer and it is my job to see if I can get the dealer to do the right thing for the customer....if they want to they do, if they don't want to they don't. We can't FORCE them to do squat.

I try to convince them they should.
What Pat says is bascially what I was getting at a few pages earlier. And what he says about the maunfacturer/dealer relationship is very very true. I've been on the end of the dealer screwing before. Ford corporate got involved and tried to get the dealer to do right. They didn't and I got rid of the car the next day. But, hey, at least they tried.
