I just wanted to share the recent experience I had with Auto Park Ford. Having worked on my credit very hard over the past year, I thought I would give it a shot at obtaining financing for a vehicle I so desperately need. When I walked in, I made it very clear that my credit was still not perfect, but thought it would be worth at least taking a look at, and that I did not have a co-signer. I was told a "Soft Inquiry" could be pulled to give us an idea if I stood a chance or not. After the salesperson did the inquiry, she came back with keys to a beautiful used truck. I told her I didn't think there was any way at all I could qualify for that. She indicated that based on the inquiry, it was very much possible. The sales manager Moe, insisted I test drive it. Based on the input from the salesperson, I gave the go ahead to run it through. I was instructed to call back the next day to set up a time to come in and go over everything and possible other vehicle options if I did not want the truck. I called multiple times the next day, and at the end of the day, was finally able to reach the salesperson who proceeded to tell me I needed a co-signer if I wanted the truck. I again repeated I had no co-signer. At this point, she indicated she was going to go back to Moe and see what other vehicles might be an option, and indicated she would call me back that same day FOR SURE to let me know. I HEARD NOTHING FROM HER AFTER THAT!!!! I proceeded to leave voice mails for the finance manager as well as Moe, and heard ABSOLUTELY NOTHING FROM ANYONE. I then decided to email another salesperson who my parents have purchased multiple brand new vehicles from throughout the years. She indicated to me she was going to work with Moe to see what could be done. Well, after several "I'm still working on it emails", she has now disappeared too. All I asked for was some input on what I could do credit wise to improve my situation, and an answer on whether they could or could not get me financed. Apparently, that was too much. They misled me from the beginning, getting my hopes up, then completely ignored me as though I was trash. Having been in sales myself, I would NEVER treat someone like this. I am beyond disgusted, as the inquiries seriously impacted my credit score, and I still have NO EXPLANATIONS!!!! How much effort would it have taken to simply call me back and talk to me? Moe, Sandy, Andrew, Alecia, can you answer that question? Thanks for making me feel degraded and unworthy of your time. And thanks for getting my hopes up for nothing.
