I gave Sames Bastrop Ford more than enough opportunity before leaving this review.
From the very beginning, I made it clear that I was purchasing the Ford Maverick for business use. I was told that I had been approved for financing. I was given the exact numbers, including my monthly payment, down payment, and the terms of the deal.
Based on that information, I returned to the dealership the next day with my down payment and gave it to them, expecting to complete the purchase and leave with the truck.
That is when everything changed.
Because the financing was going to be under my personal name, they refused to accept my company's commercial insurance, even though I had already disclosed that the vehicle was being purchased for business use. I provided legitimate commercial insurance documentation, including a Certificate of Insurance, and they still refused to release the vehicle to me.
At that point, I had an approved deal, the numbers had been provided, my down payment had been brought to the dealership, insurance had been provided, and I still could not take delivery of the truck.
So I went somewhere else.
I went to Mac Haik Ford in Georgetown and purchased a 2026 Ford Maverick XLT. They were able to accomplish what Sames Bastrop Ford could not.
What makes this experience even more frustrating happened afterward.
When the Georgetown dealership contacted Sames Bastrop Ford regarding the Maverick I had originally attempted to purchase, they were reportedly told that the vehicle had already been sold.
Yet the Maverick is still sitting on the Sames Bastrop Ford lot as of the date of this review.
I cannot explain why they would tell another dealership the vehicle had been sold while it remained on their lot, so I will simply leave that fact for readers to interpret for themselves.
I was ready to buy. I was told I was approved. I was given the payment, down payment, and deal numbers. I physically showed up with my down payment. I provided legitimate insurance documentation. And after all of that, they still did not complete the transaction.
Thankfully, Mac Haik Ford Georgetown did.
For anyone considering purchasing a vehicle here, my advice is simple: document everything, make sure you understand exactly what they consider an "approval," and do not assume that having financing numbers, a down payment, and insurance means you are actually leaving with the vehicle.
I certainly will not be returning. read more
