View submission: Leith Toyota Warning
I was fortunate to have a terrible experience at University Ford in chapel hill. I was planning to buy a new Ford Escape and while in the dealership, they kept changing the advertised ‘deal’. While I was there, they found the color I wanted at another Ford dealership (I think Capital Ford), and had it driven over to their lot. (They had to change the tires to standard as it had some extra wide ones on). So I was there about two hours. Just as we were wrapping up, they increased the cost again, due to some small print about financing, so I stood up and said forget it. I’m done. I went to Honda and bought a new CRV the same day. That was 20 years ago and I still drive my Honda everyday. Love it. Best decision I made, thanks to the twats at Ford.

I went to University Ford with an ex who was looking for a car. First, the car salesman made a big deal out of showing the car because it was supposedly going to be transferred to another dealership. Then once my ex drove it, I suggested that he think about it because I was already angry at the salesman’s tactics. The salesman immediately started yelling at me about wasting his time. He was so loud that you could probably hear it throughout the dealership. I called the guy out for his behavior and wanted to leave. Suddenly the manager was there and offered $500 off as an apology if he would purchase the car. I called bs and started to walk out. Tactic must have worked because my idiot ex bought the car. It’s one of many reasons he’s an ex.
