It seems like if they were going to do that, they'd have a legal obligation to disclose that.

I still get that warranty crap in the mail and I bought my Ranger in 2002! Not sure if it's Ford... remember the dealer obviously has your info as does the insurance company and the bank. My guess is the dealer sells a list to marketing companies because shortly after I bought my truck I got annoying automated calls from them hawking their service and used car departments (Van Boxtel Ford in Green Bay). It only stopped when they got bought out (*knock on wood*).
Whatever the case... somebody is spilling the info, that's for sure.
