Performance Ford Lincoln Bountiful
Dealership Sales Review
Performance Lincoln Bountiful intentionally deceived and sold us a vehicle under false pretenses. During the buying process, we learned that the vehicle we were interested in had 1,300 miles. Prior to selecting this vehicle and signing the paperwork, we asked for assurance that the vehicle was considered new and that the warranty would start on the date of our purchase. We were assured of these two facts by the salesperson, the sales manager, and the finance manager. Otherwise, we would not have purchased the vehicle, as we explained multiple times to everyone we worked with at the dealership. A few days after purchasing the vehicle, we noticed that our account showed the vehicle’s warranty start date was almost a year prior to our purchase date. We immediately contacted the dealership to bring this to their attention. Over the next few weeks, we were assured again and again in writing that the warranty would start from our date of purchase, and at one point we were told that it had in fact been updated. However, that turned out to be lie. Several weeks later, we received a text from our salesperson stating that the vehicle was used internally, so the warranty started before our purchase. As you can imagine, we were shocked and amazed to learn this news. The dealership has since stopped all communication with us regarding this matter. In my continued efforts to get this resolved, I’ve contacted Jim Farley (CEO of Ford) and Dianne Craig (President of Lincoln) in hopes that they will do the right thing and resolve this expeditiously. We received one call from the executive office admitting that the dealership should have disclosed the truth about the warranty information, as well as deeply discounted the vehicle to compensate. Clearly neither of these occurred. As of the date of this review there has been no resolution.
