Horrible experience. My son currently serving in...

Horrible experience. My son currently serving in the Army was home for a few days and wanted to buy a new F150 while here. He contacted Legacy several weeks ago and told them when he would arrive and exactly the truck he desired so they could have it ready. The week before arrival he was assured it would be ready on Monday afternoon (the day he arrived). When he called Monday he was told a delay so Tuesday at 1. Tuesday afternoon he was told Wednesday at 1, then not until 2:30. When he got to Legacy at 2:30 - still not there.

When it finally arrived at about 3, he did a test drive and set the final buying process in motion. It turns out they had only one sales manager (why have sales people if they can not make a decision?) and so things ground to a near halt. He had called Ford about financing rates a was told 60 mos and 2.9% (note his credit rating is over 800 and he documentation showing he has savings to buy 2 or 3 F150's cash). The sales man told him they only offer 5% rates.

We pulled up the same truck on the legacy website and they showed several discounts and sure enough 2.9% for 60 mos with legacy name within the payment calculator box. The sales man said that was some other thing that did not apply. This is clearly a text book definition of BAIT AND SWITCH. Because my son only has limited days of leave and his purchase date was already pushed back he felt pressure to just go along and continue the purchase. Finally after 8:30 he drove away. 6 hours after arriving.

That truck buying experience was pathetic and legacy ford should be embarrassed. I never intend to step foot into a legacy dealership again and hope this review will encourage others to find a dealer that does not cheat and respects a customers time.
