If you bought it cheap enough you could always remove the sunroof and put a new solid roof on it.
Personally, I wouldn't touch a lemon with your money, much less mine.

For roughly half the price of current value and a 100K warranty. Worth thinking about.
Gotta love these threads. OP asks for advice, advice is given. OP says "thanks, I'm following the advice and not buying it.". Great point for a CLOSE THREAD function. Advice sought, advice given, advice taken, end of story. No need for posts on and on giving more advice that is not needed.
No, I wouldn't buy but there are a lot of folks out there that could never afford to own a truck like this. This could be a great opportunity for someone like that if negotiated correctly.

agree with everyone else. Certainly not one that was bought back for a common wide spread issue. If this was some truck that they had replaced an engine in or something, maybe. But an electrical issue or body related issue, really hard to fix something like that.

I found a completely loaded ‘16 Lariat with only 8k miles. Color combo I’ve been looking for. The issue is prior owner brought it in for leaking sunroof. Thy tried to repair, but ended up r placing the front glass. They also found mold and dropped headliner and replaced all carpet and some trim pieces. Service claims leak is fixed. Would you purchase this truck at a discount or be worried about long term problems?
I recently bought a used truck and there are tons of Canadian trucks, Ford Service vehicles from Michigan, ford Reacquired Vehicles/lemon law,etc, I waited and found a locally owned truck for the same price.

Rick you know everyone has an opipion...its NOT just that cut and dry. I drive a XL because that's what I could afford. But if I could of bought the platinum with 4k miles for $30. that had issues and comes with a written history warrantee...I'd consider it.

why would one want the same headaches as the original owner? Not worth any discount to me, personally.

I have also used the lemon law to get rid of a vehicle (JGC). Sometimes, a rig is just built wrong and u will constantly have issues.
Another thing to consider is that the resale will be crap when u go to sell. The title is tainted...listed as a lemon. Check the carfax.
