Quiet honestly the worst car dealership in the world! Let me share my personnel experience.
So my father and I are looking for a brand new Econoline 350 van. My father has always been a die hard fan of Ford. "They're tough!" is what he always says. Well, the closest dealership was on rt 46. Now he had previous purchased his van from another dealership, but they burnt down... true story. Anyhow, we were greeted by a wannabe greaser Italian salesman. "Hey, oh... I give you a good price." We already know what we want, an Econoline 350. He's trying to convince us to get a 150... My father says, listen... I need the 350 because I carry heavy loads. So the guy final gets the point that we're interested in the 350, and not one of the many many 150's they had sitting on the lot.
Okay, now it's time to pay. They transferred us to some Indian/middle eastern guy. This guy is your typical "read the fine print" douche bag. He's making our contract and he starts going on and on about all the stuff that he's throwing in. One problem though... If we're paying for it, you're not really throwing anything in. So we get handed a final price. I can't remember what the total was, but I wanna say it had to be about $32k. Now... I leave my dad alone for a few minutes to go use the bathroom and this guy slides an extended warranty, for an additional $2500, under the stack of paperwork. When I come back, the guy is so quick to rush us out the door. Now when it's time to pick up the van, the price of the van changed, it's $36k and some change... That's before they removed the $1500 they gave us for our trade in! What a rip! I explained to the guy, what happened? Why is the truck so expensive? He says because you added all the features (It has crank windows) and the warranty. What warranty? He said your dad wanted it. Don't worry, I gave it to him for a good price. My dad is an old school, hard working, Italian man. Always humble and polite, but he got very angry and took it out on me. My uncle who is my dad's partner said let's just pay the truck off completely. So we tried contacting the guy the following day and explained to the guy that we want to pay the truck off now. Do you know what this guys said? No... You can't do that. In shock I called my uncle and he said, What? Why doesn't the guy want to get paid... The following morning, I get a phone call from that jerk. He said he spoke to the owners and they'll except the payment. Duh... What's the point on passing up money?
Now, here's the kicker... This was back in 2006. Have they changed, who knows... but in 2010, the transmission went on the truck (just a month after the regular warranty expired). Now, since we had the extended warranty, we were covered. It was a $4k job. Needless to say, while the truck was getting repaired, we rented a Chevy van... Wow, what a difference, looks like we know what our next van will be. I want to say one last thing. While this happened awhile ago, it still happened. Be careful if you go to this dealership... They really are snakes! read more
