Dealership BLACKLIST

[nitronate33]

unfortunately, dealers tend to treat everything as a business deal nowadays. "it's just business" is their attitude. there is so much sales and management turnover at these dealers that your purchase history and long term business with them just doesn't matter.

the dealer i purchased my gt500 from 6 years ago for $1800 under sticker now wants 5 grand over sticker for the new raptor. we are still in negotiations, but if they don't knock that 5 grand off i'll move on (and rat them out on here).

as buyers, it is OUR responsibility to find the good dealers and bring our business there and prevent this price gouging from happening. there ARE good dealers, you just may have to work a little harder to find one.

i've been doing this for years and have never paid over sticker a single time. sometimes i've had to be patient and other times i've had to shop around quite a bit. playing hardball with dealers and having good negotiation skills can also help.

"Armyturtle Ford, Where you name your own price and if you're not completely satisfied with your purchase after 1 year, return it for a no questions asked full refund. But wait there's more, we'll give you an extra $5K back for the inconvenience we've caused you."

Now this is a dealership I'd shop at. Still probably end up on the Butthurt List though.

Sure have a lot of time on your hands to do a whole lot of non-productive things don't you? Keyboard warrior. Hey - I think your mom's calling you from up above her basement. Better go...

Nah, dinners not until 6 so whatever she needs can wait. Wait, it's meatloaf night... Ma, we need the meatloaf now!

In all seriousness though, the basement joke is probably the most original thing I've read on the Internet. There's no way I'd ever have enough sick burns to top that so you win the keyboard warrior battle of the day good sir.

I like meatloaf. I like perusing through maximum information also and making an educated decision on my own based off of said information as well as other parameters.

I only like meatloaf if they aren't overcharging for it.

I don't mind paying a little over MSRP for meatloaf... if it's a real fancy restaurant.

For me, about 10 years ago I agreed and paid it, 15K over to be precise. Ten years later and I really cannot see myself doing it again (especially semi/mostly mass-produced vehicle), let alone I still have regrets for paying the 15 over on another Ford.
The statement "getting older / wiser..." may have merit after-all..
