Leif Johnson Ford

Yesterday I went to the used dept of Leif Johnson Ford just to look and test drive a particular that I want that they had in their inventory. It's the 2006 Honda Civic EX Cpe. I get there and instantly there are about 6 salesmen standing around all looking at you like a vulture ready to attack it's prey! I finally let one of the salespersons know that I spoke with the sales financing manager a while back, he calls him, is told by the manager to assist and "take care of me". We take the car on a test drive so far it's riding okay, he's "selling up all the features" that he knows on the car, turns the radio on to cover up the wonderful rattling noise I happen to hear. When asked what it is, his response: Oh that sounds like on of the flaps by the wheels is loose...OH! But we'll get that fixed before we sell it to you! Who said anything about buying the car yet, I just wanted a test drive! Then I'm looking at the fixtures..it's a really nice car might i add! And i see the Service Engine Light is on...for the OIL CHANGE! Arent the cars already supposed to have been through the "150 point inspection" already before it hits the lot? And for it to only be a 2006 with 34k there shouldn't be any weird noises coming from it whatsoever! Right? So we get back to the dealership, I'm already a little skeptical about their used dept the sales guy is really irritating, he is obviously looking for a sale as he has mentioned the "after market rims" and the "wonderful size" of the vehicle to me for the THIRD time to me already. I know it's a wonderful car that's why I'm interested in it I just wanted a test drive. So, since I already know the sales manager and he so horrible i figure, what harm could a credit check do to see what I would be working with? Mistake! I have had credit issues in the past... so what?....with the economy in the shape it is and help out there today almost anyone can get any car they want with the right resources and financial commitment they bring forth to back them up! After i fill out the application, he has me waiting more than 5 minutes to come back and tell me this: "Basically, your credit from what I can see isnt all that great. I didn't run yor credit and I wont. Here's why: you went to a dealership a while back that should've been last resort (Drive Time), you gave a car back, got screwed and so this is what you should do. Talk to your mom, have her come in and do the credit app then she'll be the one on the car but you'll be the primary driver. How does that sound?" Shady! I am never going back, the car wasn't in the best condition, the salesperson was a total [violative content deleted], and the info he gave me about financing was a TOTAL LIE! I wont be wasting my future time...I will be going to a different dealership that I know can and will work with me to get me in the car I WANT!
