Replying to: dfz1 (Nov 01, 2008 9:11 am) Thanks for sharing that. It tells me that Ford customer service has not improved in the last 9 years.   I never had a finance issue but dealt with them on mechanical issues (the famous head gasket on the 3.8, melting transmissions and such). They not only did not do anything but were abusive as all get out.

Replying to: andre1969 (Nov 01, 2008 5:40 am) They took the trade out of the deal and sold the vehicle to CarMax for $1500-ish I believe. I had to switch them to another lender because the first app that went in had a bogus income on it. Lenders are becoming sticklers for apps and stips that don't jive.

Replying to: kdhspyder (Nov 01, 2008 10:19 am) Lenders are becoming sticklers for apps and stips that don't jive.   That might happen for an auto loan, but never for something significant like a mortgage. Wouldn't THAT be stupid!

Replying to: dfz1 (Nov 01, 2008 9:11 am) One thing you don't ever want to do is cross Mazda Financial. They are without a doubt the meanest, most awful SOBs in the car financing biz today.   And I see from your story that they even treat people who have done nothing wrong that way. I have had a few friends who won't make the mistake twice of financing a vehicle through Mazda. It is sort of like the Discover Card of the auto finance world.

Replying to: nippononly (Nov 01, 2008 6:13 pm) not really, more like the "what's in your wallet cards'.
