Dealership Sales Review

Buyer Beware***Classic Bate & Switch
Written by melandbobby on 08/07/2008

I called Elco to see if the Red 2002 Ford Esscape posted on line was still available and the salesman who took the call said yes. I asked how much, he placed me on hold to check, and came back with $5000. I asked him to hold the car I would be there in 5 min. He questioned my 5 min and I repeated 5 min. When we pulled on the lot the Escape was parked in front of the sales office and he pullde up in a golf cart and said "Your gonna kill me!" I said you couldn't of sold it hat fast and he said "No, but I quoted you the wrong price. It's actually $8990.00." When we asked if there were any small SUV's on the lot for $5000 he said no. That is a pretty hard mistake to make, there was no other small SUV to confuse prices with. When I said that was out of price range he said he would be more than happy to meet us half way since it was his mistake. 2 days later I called to talk to the manager, and he told me the best he could do was also half way. I was done with this dealership when 2 days later another salesman called me about the same Escape. I told what happened and he said it's my lucky day becausethe other salesman and the boss were both off and he would see what he could do. 2 hours later he called me and again gave me the same price of the half way meet. I will never buy a car from this [violative content deleted]!!! And will never refer anybody here. I have bought 8 cars in the last 8 years but have never run accross a shady opperation like this before!

Called the dealership after spending a few hours with their competitor. They beat the price, delivered the Cadillac of my dreams--without any issues. They gave me a great price of my trade and from all indications, I got a fantastic deal. I would definitely recommend these guys. Do your homework first and don't settle!
