I've been looking at the 2020 Expedition since last week, Mike Peacock was my direct contact person. At first, he was willing to give me the price I agreed, asked a copy of my driver's license to close the deal, I also gave him my insurance card. I even applied for financing through the dealership. Soon after I talked with their business manager, Ross, I gave her my credit card information to put down $3,000 as a payment to hold it last Saturday and she did not charge it. Today is the Monday and Mike texted me the car is sold to someone else. His reason for it was it took so long. I've tried to reach the business manager multiple times throughout the day, before and after Thanksgiving, never called me back until the Saturday. When finally she and I started talking on the phone I gave my card info, she said she will send me all those documents first thing on Monday to expedite the sale, did not happen, did not put down the payment I agreed upon, and sold the car to somebody. Thanks Mike, and thanks to all of you.
Here is my updated review:
The General Manager, John Eberlein, called me soon after I left my review, explained that it was him that told Ross to hold off of my down payment because he did not like that I am seeking for financing outside. I understand that he wants me to finance through his dealership and if he told me upfront that, I probably would have accepted that, but apparently no one informed me that. I told him I will finance through the bank of his choice and hung up. About an hour later, he texted me asking why I left a review the way it was, he thought I left my review AFTER I spoke with him, which is not true. Anyway, he basically told me to remove my review if I want to buy the car, if not, he would not sell it to me because he needs a positive reviews. Wow. This sounds like a threat to me when I am the paying customer and I expressed my honest feeling in the review, nothing but true. Hey John, I wish you good luck, I will be talking with the corporate directly for your performance review. And don't try to sell it to me, I don't know what you are going to do to it, would never buy it from you. Ford just lost a customer because of your action. I also posted our dialogues to prove I am not lying.
Another update after reading the feedback from the dealership:
Just stop lying. You charged me $3,000 to my credit card today as a down payment(I attached the screenshot, so just stop) after the GM decided sell it to me today. Then he threaten me to remove my review if I want to purchase the car. It has nothing to do with the distance nor communication. Where do you think I live in? What year is this? You know my email, you know my phone number, you've been texting me, I responded every single time on the same day, it was your business manager who never picked up my calls. You saying you could not reach me because of where I live? I've contacted the corporate headquarter today, I will talk with them, not with you. This is my last update for you.
