Oh, and that part isn’t available any more.

“Avery Siwinksi told 10 Tampa Bay that her used 2014 Ford Focus Electric meant
that she could drive herself to school, a suburban rite of passage that many
teens are familiar with. Her family shelled out $11,000 for it, and for the
initial 6 months, all went well.
"’It was fine at first,’ Avery Siwinski told 10 Tampa Bay. ‘I loved it so
much. It was small and quiet and cute. And all the sudden it stopped working.’
“When the vehicle started giving her a dash alert in
March, Siwinski took it to the dealership with the help of her grandfather, Ray
Siwinksi. The diagnosis was not good: a battery replacement would be needed.
The cost? $14,000, more than she paid for the car in the first place. Even worse, Ford
had discontinued the Focus Electric model four years ago, so the
battery wasn't even available anymore.

She should stand there holding a big sign that says "Sucker".
ReplyDeleteBut it was "cute." And possession sent the right message -- I'm not using that dirty gasoline.
