Scout Pricing and State Rebate Programs

[oldgeeksguide]

So long as it’s modern Siam yellow I have no problem with that . But please push the brighter colors to start and save the neutrals since so many members are looking for modern takes on the retro colors

I keep reading that as “slam yellow”, which would be a really cool color name

I said you *could* install one. Obviously, we engineer a vehicle to a certain standard, including the parts we put on it. At some point, if you replace those parts with something we didn't design or modify it to an extreme we can't warranty, then you take that risk. But nearly everyone who modifies a vehicle knows this going into it, and you ultimately have to decide if it is worth it or not. That said, I've watched people for years try and hide modifications or get angry when warranty is denied for something they did that no manufacturer would cover.

That will still come down to policy.

Some brands/dealerships will void the entire powertrain warranty if you install a mild 2” lift. Which is very confusing because I thought the Magnuson-Moss Act put the onus on the manufacturer to prove the modification was directly responsible for the failure.

If the engine blows a head gasket, it is not because of the 2” lift so that is where things need to be clearly communicated to the customer upfront.

I wouldn’t expect an offroad focused vehicle to have a warranty policy that would deny coverage for unrelated modifications.

You are right though, some people abuse goodwill and policies of all kinds.

If I blow a CV shaft because I stuffed 37”s under a Terra and was bouncing on a hill climb, that’s on me. But if my car stops charging I don’t want to have fingers pointed at my tires or roof mounted disco ball.

To answer the question about deferring your order until you can get the configuration you want, that is the plan. But if you want to be first on the block, you might have to compromise on that front. There are a lot of details regarding ordering that are still being worked on, so let's see how things go.

Will planned future options (paint, roofs, bumpers ,accessories etc.) be shown when orders open with an estimated time frame for availability?

They claim to void the warranty, but it wouldn’t stand up in court. The problem is that very few people can afford to take a manufacturer or even dealer to court.

Lemon Law court is not really a draw own process so legal fees are very reasonable if its an ongoing issue.

If its resistance from the start you may be facing a difficult path but it can pay off in the end.


The real issue is most people arent aware that in the pile of paperwork they sign when they buy a car lies an Arbitration Clause.

If you dont opt out you cant go to court. You agree to try to settle things with a 3rd party that is PAID by the Manufacturer.

Ask me how I know.

Manufactures in the past have labeled options "Late Availability" in the past. I don't think Scout would be any different.
