For starters, working with Tony wasn't the best experience. He didn't do things that we asked and actively and obviously side stepped our requests for personal gain. I know car salesmen work on commission from both the sale and the financing, but we had repeatedly negotiated a sub 5 interest rate and he would just leave and come back 30 minutes later with a 6 or high interest rate. Then we'd negotiate to a point of a monthly payment of $200, then literally 30 seconds later he writes down $205 and my wife and I just look at each other puzzled, but not wanting to argue any further. His negotiating tactics were insulting. Like when he said "You guys make good money. You can afford it." I wanted to scream when he said that. We have a lot of medical debt and we shouldn't have to explain that to him as to why we want to stay within our budget.
Second, we had to have the battery replaced and the seat motor replaced. It was supposed to be a day, then it turned into two, then it turned into 6. We had a loaner SUV which we didn't want but my wife had expressed interest in test driving it and Tony was trying to make another sale so I drove it all week with way worse MPG than the hybrid we bought driving 100 miles a day. He promised us several gas cards to make up for it after my hybrid was delayed several more days. However, I still haven't seen those despite talking to several people about them.
Third, we had to drive back in just to sign a Credit Union credit application and couldn't do it by fax. We didn't even need it after all either for out financing. once there, we asked about my car and it was ready. Why didn't anyone call us earlier? If we hadn't asked, we wouldn't had to drive all the way back the next day.
Finally, the SRS light was on since the moment I picked it up. I had to google it to see what it meant. I immediately responded to the email I got from Heather Stolls in the service department saying let us know if you have any problems. I never got an email back from here. I've tried calling all the different 800 numbers in the email and on their website and everyone of them gave me a robotic voice saying you have to configure your phone system. I finally found a 720 number online that got through. I talked to 4 people before getting to Heather who wouldn't acknowledge that she never replied to my email. I told her what is wrong and she told me I'd have to bring it to Ford and the soonest they could get me in is in 5 days on Monday. I said fine I'll bring it in Monday after work. When I got there, he said it was schedule for Monday morning. No one ever told me that. So, I had to leave it with them for two days to get it fixed.
This whole experiencing has been taxing. The only good part is the car which is a Ford. Terribly organized. Rude sales tactics. They don't hold to their word. And I still haven't gotten the gas cards!
