Mr D,
I'm not familiar with a Ford window sticker but GM typically has the dealer name & address that the vehicle is delivered to at the lower left corner.
Sure dealers trade with other dealers - that's how they get rid of cars that may have been damaged, stolen, vandalized etc...If there is a local news paper story about cars damaged at a dealer, the locals won't buy there till a new shipment of cars arrive. So these cars are then traded to other dealers where there was no publicity of any vandalism ,etc...
This happened to my parents in 1991- They bought at a $36,000 Cadillac Brougham De'Elegance that had been vandalized at a dealer up north. The car was traded to a dealer 60 miles south, the dealer we got the car from.Some things wrong with the car I spotted right away, others things we found out about over the course of ownership. We still have the car and it only has 50,000 miles now.
Here is a list of some of what happened to the car prior to purchase.
1, Rear bumper was replaced with one from Taiwan. The Bumper shock absorbers pistons were welded so they couldn't move. If the car is ever hit again you'll really feel it. This we found out when the bumper was replaced in 2000 when it had rotted away completely across the full width.
- The Passenger door was filled with broken glass. When a new window was installed the glass wasn't cleaned out of the door.
- Glass shards found in trunk from broken rear window. Vinyl top had to be replaced too in order to replace window. Poor fitting raingutter moldings, due to improper fit of new top.
- Radio stolen off lot & was replaced. The dashboard was improperly put back together, Visible sound deadening material & foam sticking out from dash trim panels.
- RF Door Handle & Latch were replaced, found out they were damaged when the door was pried open. They were replaced again in 1994 and the Door handle again in 2003. The door has never closed properly.
- There were also numerous area's of repaint & over spray on the chrome.
We were told nothing of any damage to the car when my parents purchased the car new,
Good luck to you.
