when i asked why it was more expensive than a regular focus he told me it was a limited edition special run
it has a super high performance motor, a six cylinder at that!
then i tried to explainto him abou t the SVT part of it, telling him that i owned an SVT contour, he proceded to tell me i got ripped off, because there was no such thing.
i then walked him out to the lot to show him my VSt, the one your friend just bought and a green one that was there for repairs.
he shut up real quick, and i left real quick
wasnt happy with anyof the sales men i talked to there.


hopefully he will be happy with the car.
he should tell them he wants the lower grill replaced. they shoud do it for him.





I am very careful when I go to a car dealer since several years ago I got ripped out of $500 at a dealer. So now I ask lots of questions, listen carefully to the answers and fully read through all the paperwork I sign. If I sense any BS I either leave immediately or toy with them a little before I leave. My best one ever was when I was looking to trade in my other SVT for the truck I have now, one sales person I was speaking with was acting like a hot shot who thought he could sell anyting to anyone. So, I tested him with some simple technical qustions I already knew the answers to. When he tried to finesse his way out of them rather than try to help me out and find an answer I turned to walk away and said, "I'm not an eskimo and I don't need ice."

His reaction was priceless. At first he looked confused and dumb but when he figured out what I meant and the fact that he just lost a customer he became rude and obnoxious. Jerk.
