Let me start by saying my salesperson, George, was - RENEE61
Let me start by saying my salesperson, George, was absolutely wonderful. He was attentive, professional, and truly a pleasure to work with. Unfortunately, I feel sorry for him because he has to work alongside a finance department manager, Chase, whose behavior was egotistical and dismissive.
I had already found the car I wanted and was prepared to finance only about $13,000 . However, during the financing process, the manager repeatedly presented the same numbers, simply shifting what I would put down versus what I would finance—without making any effort to adjust on their side.
When I asked if the numbers were based on my credit, he confirmed they were. I then explained that my son, who has excellent credit in the 800s, could step in to purchase the vehicle. His response shocked me: “Well, I won’t sell it to him.” When I asked why, he claimed that California law requires the person signing the contract to be the primary driver, and since he knew I would be the primary driver, he refused to proceed.
I was floored. His attitude and treatment were unprofessional, condescending, and frankly insulting. Whether it was because I am a woman or simply his personal approach, I cannot say—but I do know that no customer deserves to be spoken to or treated in such a manner.
I am a 61-year-old woman who believes in treating others with respect, and I would never in a million years behave the way Chase did toward me. Future Ford, you need to do better. Respecting your customers is not that hard.
