It could be anything, but the financing falling through is pretty likely. It seems to already have some louvers and a blackout panel on it though. Maybe someone bought for a "toy" then got laid off or something right after. Very likely in this economy (thats why I sold my 09, I was laid off last year around this time).

What defines "new" vs "used" is if the title papers actually changed hands and signatures of the buyer and seller are on all the paperwork. If the guy took it home on a preapproved loan, but the loan fell through, the dealer would have never signed over anything, thus the car is still "new."

I'm betting it's the color. Talk about a lemon. This is the worse color Ford has ever come up with. I was all set to order this color until I saw a couple cars with it. The cars I have seen with it have paint match problems between body and bumpers. If ever there was a need to drop a color in mid year, this would be a good time for Ford to do it. What happened to grabber orange and that gold color? Both were cool.
If the guy brought it back on account of the color, I guess he cannot be blamed.
That color is just as bad as Grabber Blue! (J?K, I'm just poking at you!
)

Many dealers offer a customer satisfaction guaranty. That means that if the customer is not satisfied within a certain time period, the dealer will take the car back, no questions asked.
In this case, the car is used because all the ownership papers and sales papers were signed over. The car is legally sold and legally cannot be advertised as a new car, even if it only has 0,000,001 miles on the ODO. Legally, even if the ODO reads ZERO, the car cannot be listed as new once all the paperwork is signed.

It's possible that the person who bought the car was not satisfied and decided to trade it back in. I was going to buy a pre-owned 2009 GT with 50 miles on it. The husband bought it for his wife as a gift but she didn't want it. Most likely there is nothing wrong with it at all. It was considered pre-owned because the car was titled.
