I had a great esperience with McCarthy Ford. I live in a city 380 miles from McCarthy Ford. My wife had picked out a color of a new Ford Escape Titanium that had to have certain equipment. I didn't want to pay $1500 for a sun roof. My local dealer could not locate that vehicle in his dealer search without the sun roof. I went to the internet and searched dealers in a 200 mile radius of my city, Paducah, KY. I couldn't find the vehicle so I expanded my search to Chicago. McCarthy Ford had dozens of Ford Escapes and I found two matching what my wife wanted. I made an internet contact and got a call back from Pete G. within a few minutes. We talked and agreed to talk again after he got some numbers together. Anyway, Pete gave me a fair price on his car (I realize dealers have to make a profit to stay in business so I try not to be rediculous in my offers). I also was given the rebates that Ford offered plus Pete agreed to buyout a leased car that we had. The buyout was probably below market value of the car, but, still you can't expect to get retail on your trade-in. I had emailed Pete pictures of the leased car. I also have good credit and got the 0% interested being offered by Ford at this time. So......I get in the leased car and drive the 380 miles to Chicago. I got to the dealership and was immediatly greeted by Don H. who handled the transaction with me. The deal was just as I had been promised without any problems what so ever. By not having to pay for the sun roof on the cars on my area, I saved $1500. I'll drive to Chicago everyday to make $1500.
