Just got back sat night from picking up my new F-250 cc 6.0 from Jeff Clarke at Van Bortel Ford and could'nt be happier! Jeff was great thru the whole ordering process and everthing was as discussed,no surprises. Jeff kept me informed thru the whole process and saved me a bundle too. I can't thank Jeff enough for making whole experience so enjoyable.(unlike some of my local dealers). It was defininetly worth driving the 600 mile round trip to pick up the truck.Thanks also to FTE and Ken for the awesome website and making deals like this possible and making it possible for sharing so much info with each other!! Thanks again Jeff it was great to finally meet you and so far the truck is flawless. Its getting 16 miles to the gallon! with only 400 miles on it so far!!! and its not even broken in yet!!!! My friend thought I was crazy driving 600 miles for a new truck but when they saw the paper work they were'nt laughing at me anymore. thanks again ,Nick

 

Congrats Lexicat! The truck sounds awesome! Now you have to get busy posting pics of it!
I've spoken to Jeff on the phone & he does sound extra nice. I'll be meeting him next weekend as part of our NY Chapter offline meeting. You should stop by the Chapter & join it - it's free to do so. We're planning events for the summer & hopefully you'll make a few & get to meet some of the other NY members!
See you in the NY Chapter forum! (go to the main forum directory & scroll down - can't miss it!)

 

Your friend thought you were crazy? Most of mine think I am insane, I'll be coming from Florida to get mine from Van Bortel

 

Cowlady,thanks I'll have to check out the NY chapter forums.
KeithW , you won't regret your decision and I have a feeling you'll be smiling all the way back to Florida. Let us know how you make out Later , Nick

 

Great Nick! I'll watch for you there!

 

Lexicat glad to hear you made out well. I ordered an F250 from mark too.Will be a few weeks before I make the trip. Hearing remarks like this take the gitters away. Enjoy your truck.
