Review of Olathe Ford LINCOLN

When I first started browsing through the USAA car...

When I first started browsing through the USAA car-buying service, I didn't really think I could afford a "new" car. I didn't want to trade in my Tahoe but it was a 2004 with 110,000 miles and price of gas was hurting my wallet. I really was merely browsing. My wife and I agreed that if we were to purchase a new vehicle it must be a res Mustang. As this was my first brand new vehicle, I had certain requirements that were non-negotiable. It must be red, it must have a spoiler, it must have the leather interior, it must have the system where it will link to my mobile phone, it must have the rear window louvers, and it must have the side air scoops. There were only two ways to find this car. One was to locate it at another dealership; the other was to have it built by Ford and wait 6 - 8 weeks. I was willing to wait. Cassie located my vehicle in Tulsa Oklahoma. It had everything I wanted except the window louvers and side scoops. We agreed to a fair price for trade-in and included the scoops and louvers to be ordered and installed into the price of our agreement. We signed the paperwork and the car was to be picked up in Tulsa on Saturday, prepped and be prepared for delivery on the following Monday. The person who was supposed to pick up the Mustang in Tulsa became ill on Saturday and was unable to make the trip. Cassie, my sales person, (and also a college student and a mom) decided to make the trip on Sunday evening, on her own time. I didn't get my vehicle on Monday morning like we had planned but I did take possession on Monday afternoon. I have bought many cars over the years and somehow managed to "get in too deep" on most of my deals. The Mustang I bought, with the "pony package" was less expensive than purchasing a used car with the same options. Between USAA, Ford incentives, and Cassie at Olathe Ford, I get a good deal and fair trade. My payment is about the same as the payment of my 2004 Tahoe with 110,000 miles. I would recommend Cassie and Olathe Ford to anyone interested in buying a new Ford product.
