My Review of Ford of Londonderry:
Buying my SUV from Ford of Londonderry, NH, was a mistake. The salesperson lied to me about smoke smell being in the car. He was a smoker and blamed it on that and I fell for it and bought the SUV. We liked to have never got rid of the smell. It still lingers a bit and while I entertained the idea of some kind of legal action I decided that I'd live with it and hope that the smell goes away on its own because I was just exhausted from driving back and forth to Londonderry and didn't want to deal with them any longer. They did work to get the smell out but I had to drive the truck from Worcester to their dealership multiple times to get it worked on (cleaned) which drove up the mileage on my odometer and cost me a ton of money in gas. While they supplied a rental car free of charge I had to pay for insurance or use my own. I opted to just use my own coverage. Low and behold the rental car was damaged and I had to buy an approximate $1,500 door. I was told that they'd take care of the gas in the rental cars after my SUV was in the shop a couple of times. But the last time it was in service they charged my credit card for the gas anyway and didn't refund that money and that was AFTER I had to pay for the rental car door to be fixed. You'd think at that point they'd be bending over backwards to try to save me as a future customer.
They logged my name wrong in my warranty. They didn't tell me about any deductible options when I bought my extended warranty so now I have a $100 fee every time I need to get the SUV fixed.
And on my warranty they added a note that basically said "WARNING: TRUCK MAY NOT NEED REPAIR IF BROUGHT IN" or something of that nature. It seems that they are basically warning other dealerships that I'm a problem when I haven't done anything wrong but expect what I paid for. It's not like I bought a shirt that didn't quite fit right but rather, will spend thousands of hard-earned money on an SUV that came with a bad battery (that they did replace after I told them that if they didn't I would take it to another mechanic for testing), 2 front power windows that were extremely slow until they were worked on, and one of the windows had to be replaced because of a bad popping noise that they had to work on 2 different times (2 different trips up there from Worcester).
As an added bonus they tried to get me into a very high interest rate loan until I mentioned that I was going to go to my own bank then all the sudden, as I was about to walk out the door, they gave me the rate I wanted because another bank ok'd it at the last minute. I felt like I was living in a car buying nightmare cliche.
I personally would never use this dealer again nor would I recommend anyone else do it. Fact was however that they sold me an SUV that had some issues and instead of going up and beyond to perhaps lose a couple of dollars, but save me as a customer and prevent any bad reviews, they chose to just treat me badly. Within the bad treatment there were moments when I thought they were being sincere and caring but in the end, my opinion is that they didn't care.
