Having purchased loyally from Fritts Ford in River...

Having purchased loyally from Fritts Ford in Riverside for years, I randomly did a search for a vehicle I was in the market for and I found it here and another dealer in Carlsbad. Ron was on top of this sale from the beginning and got right back to me on a couple inquiries I had on this F-150 Platinum. From the results of my search in the morning, I bought this vehicle before the end of the day. With the current climate of available inventory, demand and choices, I consider myself "very" lucky having made the move along with Ron, the Fleet Manager. Enhancing this deal was the attitude of Steve, the Sales Manager and Chad, in Finance. What a Trifecta. Never thinking I would have the comfort going outside of my Ford Dealer for years in Riverside, this Dealer surely has made my list of a place I would definitely work with again in the future. These men I dealt with are real. And they honor Veterans such as myself. In today's world with Dealers getting invoice and above invoice on vehicles, my vehicle was discounted immediately by 1000.00 by Steve. Something he didn't have to do...........period. The best part. I didn't even ask for a discount at the time he gave it to me. He just did it as Ron told him I was a Marine Corps Veteran. Not that I told Ron that, but rather Ron took note of my Veteran Baseball Cap. In comparison, the Dealer in Carlsbad that I had talked to earlier before my arrival at McCoy and Mills wanted 5000.00 "starting" over invoice for the same vehicle. Ironically, while I was doing my credit app with Ron, that Dealer calls me and offers over the phone, 1950.00 over invoice. What a laugh and a joke. In summary, there may be good and bad reviews, but just bear in mind that in all cases, there are 2 sides to each story. My story? The best of deals outside of all the deals I've made over the years and not just on cars and trucks, but I surely couldn't have gone wrong on any day elsewhere. My suggestion to you who read this. Don't hesitate on giving this Ford Dealership a shot, even if you have to drive a few extra miles. As I stated earlier, Steve gave me that 1000.00 discount as for myself wearing my Marine Corps Veteran Baseball Cap. To the Dealer in Carlsbad I can say this............If you wear a Dealer Baseball Cap or a Ford Baseball Cap at your Dealership, you need to consider trading the Baseball Cap in for possibly a Paper Hat at your local Dairy Queen where you can spend the rest of your days selling ice cream and settling the discomfort of the "blue hairs" like me on whether or not to have sugar, M+M's or freaking Cake Sprinkles on their ice cream.
