Buying a Ford

It is simple Ford is the best.

Seems like I have not yet found a good Ford Dealer around.

Here is 2 words to describe a normal sellsman:
Liar,
Rude



I go there hoping for some good luck to buy a truck. What do i get? Some guy that runs up to me yelling "HI HOWS IT GOING" running to me before anyone else. First he makes me madder than hell by lieing about the truck. Than I tell him I am looking for and he says no I don't think you want that. He went on and on about how they are cheaply made and he had me
screamin Son b**** Ima kick you in the nuts

I left that place and gave the manager a call he said he was an empolyee from a different ford dealer.

Than I was like what the hell he doin here than


the manager said he was sorry and he would have one of his top salesmen help me the next day.


So I go back tell the guy exsactly what I want and for the exsact price I want and he says no sorry thats not even what what we charge for ford escorts.

I offered him 34,000 for a F-350 7.3ltr diesel SLT Laramie manuel
4x4 and he goes and shows me a truck and tells me it is 48,000 dollars.


I told him again what I wanted and he says sorry we don't have any more trucks on the lot.

I look over his shoulder and see at least 10 more.



it sucks being 24 cause no one will sell u a truck



You guys know any dealers around californa that will not
pull a famous salesman act.


Because I have been to 4 dealers and the first one said my credit is not good enough and the thing about it is that I had cash....


The second one no one could help me because they were busy...

The third one only had 2 trucks and I did't like them


and that was the fourth up there




Ya know those ford dealers got me going

know the funny thing? When I bought my dodge It took 2 dealers and I thought that ford would be better

these ford dealers got me in a knot


Anyone know any in californa that got a good reputation?


I would appreate some help...

This wouldn't happen to be the elusive FORDGE truck I've been hearing about, would it?

Just jokin'... Sorry to hear about the dealer hassles. I hope you get the truck you want and from a good dealer. They're out there ya know!

Buying a Ford

Price wise have them give you a print out it will have the invoice price on there. from there look at a few hundred over invoice would be a good price to go with. dont take any #####, i dont i usually walk in there with what i want printed out and say this is what i want, i also usually have prices from other dealerships. when they see you mean business most of the time they will cut the crap....

Buying a Ford

You Write >>Anyone know any in californa that got a good reputation?
<<<


YES....Hansel Ford in Santa Rosa Calif ask for Mike Radd




BUT ....first go on some of the internet pricing sites and find what you want and get a good idea of the cost..

Put some money down and finance the rest ...At least let them think you will be financing ...They make money on that also!! Then pay cash if you can...

The price on the internet will not be what they sell you the truck for.... They will tell you,.... well if that is the internet price then why are you here!!
TAKE A CALCULATOR WITH YOU!! It will scare the heck out of them..
If you let them add just 15.00 a month more to the contract just multiply it out my the no of months ..Like 15.00 X 60...THATS Profit!!
and you probally wont care if you can make the `PayMent`...
