Replying to: jb_turner (Apr 25, 2007 8:41 am) The sales guy was pushy and loud, but they didn't pull anything too heinous until we were half way through F&I. The situation is no one's fault but my own, and I know that. Getting the car for the price, and not missing another day of work was the trade off I made for dealing with them. Like I said, the one straightforward guy that I would have liked to have bought from did not have an acceptable car. But now that hindsight is 20/20, I am trying to figure out the most diplomatic and proper way to ask them to make my "new" car look like new. I agree that the CSI shouldn't be used as a bribe, but I thought maybe if I offered something that they wanted in exchange for something I wanted they would be more inclined to help me.

Replying to: sk8ermaiden (Apr 24, 2007 2:45 pm) But the real kicker was him lying to us outright about what the car truly was." And you still bought the car from this dealership????? I'd hate to see what you put up with you buy a house.

Replying to: dtownfb (Apr 25, 2007 10:25 am) For one, I will never be in a position where I HAVE to buy a house this weekend. We can sit pretty in our apartment for 6 months to a year while we check out every house (or real estate agent) in the area if we want. Two, most houses are not new. Therefore I want to have at least a basic trust in the seller to disclose major problems (although you still need an inspector). My car is new, therefore any problems that arise are covered under warranty. Three, I will have a real estate agent working for me. If the selling person is unpleasant...well, I'm paying someone else to deal with that. If they are downright nasty, then that makes me question their trustworthiness (see #2) and I will probably not buy. They are two totally different things. Buying a house involves so much more than buying a car. Would I prefer to buy a car from someone I like? Of course! I'd even pay little more to do so. But sometimes it just can't shake out that way. All in all, I got what I wanted - a great car for a great price.

How long does it generally take a (Ford) survey to show up in a mailbox?

Replying to: sk8ermaiden (Apr 25, 2007 11:18 am) If you are so happy with getting " a great car for a great price", why are you complaining about the service? You got what you wanted.

Replying to: joel0622 (Apr 25, 2007 8:54 am) Simmer down there big boy, I was referring to ME giving lofty advice, not you. Did you read my whole post? My point was that it is difficult to do the right thing when you are involved in the emotion of the moment.
