Focus Compliance plate issues

[sirish]

Hello All,

I bought a Focus LS manual in Nov'05 and unfortunately met with an accident in Feb'06 where I had a severely damaged driver door, It took the repairer 3 months to replace the door and fix it as the parts had to come from South Africa.

Now the plot thickens.....I tried to trade in the focus and found out my compliance plates are missing which made my car worthless, I have a letter from Ford confirming the build/VIN no/Chasis information etc but the Car dealer is saying it wont stand any value against the car.

I am seeking some direction from any one of you out there..what is my best approach... :togo: ...

Sirish...
