I don't all the sudden think the Fords are junk or anything like that, the ones I drove I liked a lot, I just couldn't get past the smug dipshit car salesman and feel I got a better deal on the Chevy. I get it, a guy rolls in with a 12 year old Excursion looking at 50- 60k trucks in shorts and a t shirt after getting out of my office clothes, and they're like yeah right. I felt like whipping out my American Express and telling them ill take 2, but it wasn't worth the time. I never understood why car salesman all feel the need to be clowns, it's like they don't know their one bad month from unemployment.

So, you can put 2 new diesel trucks on your AMEX card?.....I wish I had your cash flow.

im sure a lot of people CAN, the question would be how dramatic would the next 45 days be scrambling to get it together. It would be a cash flow and asset disaster, I was being a smart ass more than anything. The whole point of this thread was the the ridiculous way SOME dealerships choose to treat people. Would it have been any different had I rolled in in a Bentley dressed to the nines with a briefcase containing my stock portfolio, asset ledgers, and stacks of hundreds? Maybe then I would be good enough to occupy their time and attention. I would think if anyone would understand my befuddlement it would be you.

bump for a great read.
I had a mental image u-bentley-stock portfolio-briefcase-asset ledgers-dressed to the nine's.
I'm having fun with this,no-offense just me hav'n fun -B

I cann't complain about the Ford Dealership here in Brooks , walked in the dealership on a monday 4 years ago after looking at a truck (loaded F150 XLT 4X4 )on the lot on sunday , List was $47.5K had a price in my mind of about $35K , got 0 down ,0% financing for 60 months and a all in price of $32500 with tax ( no trade)and drove it away !! Mind you I have 7 Ford trucks registered and have know and worked with the owner of the dealership since '73 he was a salesman and I was a mechanic ( not a parts replacer) at the same dealership

I got a great deal on my last ford 2010 F150....... Got 25+% off and a whole bunch for my trade. A lot depends on the dealer, location for incentives and the local used car market.

lol,i have a 06 GMC.
I need to trade in my 93 chevy it's a beast.
I don't think u saw it,but i call it the blue bomber,it's rough"daily driver work truck"
I don'thave a pic of it,but it is the same color and body style as eric's truck just mine look's like it just came out of the demo derby.

I agree Dave.
At the end of the day its your dime and you buy what you want with that dime. The dealer that I have had the best luck out of is the one I use to work for. bought three new vehicles from the and got the best deal .We went to 6 different dealers and five of them where butt's about it.

I wish you had gotten a Ford ,but like I said before its your dime. Good luck

Relax and enjoy your new ride. Fretting about some rude prick is a waste of anyone's time. I suspect it was not the 1st or last time those guys show "attitude". If you want some "justice" send an email to the general manager of the store[s] that mistreated you and share your story.

I agree Lem that will get his attention loosing a sale cuz his sales men was rude.... Th will hit close to home...fast....

x2 i agree with Lem and The Coug.

I've already spoken with two of them, they didn't seem really broken up about losing a sure sale. Oh well. I got what I needed. Like I said this was the second time, it also happened in 2005 when I was making a fleet purchase of 35 trucks and a personal truck of my own at the same time, even then they were ridiculous and I bought Chevys. I won't try again so it looks like I'm stuck driving Chevys and racing Fords. I can live with it.

AHH me too.luv them BBF's

Yep, the dipsticks in the ordering department ordered it without the ball hitch in the bed. Why would you buy a dually unless you were going to pull the big stuff? So they had to put in a 5th wheel ball hitch.

never seen one ine come from he factory w a 5th wheel or gn hitch. that will pull that big ass trailer better than the srw.........

I'd be the 'dipstick' that ordered the red truck that should have been silver

Shame, Shame, Shame, you should have been a better informed order placer. I hope you've learned your lesson, and will do it properly next time.
