"Damaged Unit" Window Sitcker
Does anyone know what it means on a window sticker at the bottom of options "damaged unit"?
Anyone have experience or thoughts whether or not to avoid or could potentially be a good deal?

Isn't that written on all the stickers? No, of course not, lol!
That is called full disclosure! The vehicle was damaged and repaired prior to being put on the lot for sale. That way the buyer can not come back on the seller or Ford, if prior damage is discovered after the sale. It will also be listed on the bill of sale, and may affect insurance, doubt it, but certainly any future resale.
"You have to ask yourself, do you feel lucky, we'll come on, do you punk!?" Clint Eastwood. Most likely didn't get his quote exactly correct, but I think you get the idea?
Bottom line, is your purchase price really low enough to compensate for buying a damaged vehicle?

I bought mine new with a small ding in the wheel arch in the bed. Paintless dent removal was used but at a certain angle you can still see it. A porter did it when moving trucks around the lot. I got a better deal because of it and I am not as **** as I used to be about my cars as I get older and other things matter more to me now. At least I know it wont get rusty. Things happen. I wouldn't worry about it. Just act real concerned about it and get a good price then forget about it.
