Dealership Sales Review
I came in to see how much I could get for my truck with their National Buyback Event. They immediately tried to sell me another car and took little interest in my truck. I did see an expediton I liked and asked them what the price was. They told me the expedition was 24,995. I told them that that was too expensive for me, the sales person told me to wait and he would do his "best". The came back with the figures 22,000 for the expedition 3500 for my truck and 3000 cash down. I told him no then went back to the little enclosed glass area to do his "best". (I was already another deal with a dealership with same expediton/trim just different color for 19000, 5500 trade in and 2000 cash down). When i told the salesman if he could beat that deal i would buy today. He went back and forth or about an hour and a half telling me each time that that was the lowest but I declined because of my better deal elsewhere. Finally they came down to 19000 after every excuse in the book ( "we are losing money""your credit is bad"(I was already approved for financing)"the other dealership is bad"). But they would not beat the trade in. I asked for my keys 3 times to leave but they would not give them to me so they could do their "best". Finally the sales person called me where the manager (bald guy) was in the glass enclosed place and he started giving me every reason why I couldnt get more for my trade (kbb, nada, edmunds dont sell cars). I had printout from 3 appraisal companies kbb, edmunds, nada and all were 7500 for a rough trade in. My truck was not rough. When I started telling the manager that I was not comfortable and my trade in was worth more the person next to him started laughing. I demanded my keys from him and left. He asked me if I wanted my appraisal printouts but kind of in a condesending manner while more of the staff laughed. The whole evxperience was frustrating and unprofessional. They tried there hardest with every stupid car salesman trick/excuse to screw me out of some money. I will never go to this dealership again or recommend to anyone.
