There was a 6000 dollar extra charge for who knows what on my final total . Wasn’t happy about that. The truck is great just not happy with the way the final price turned out! More

Jack Schmitt Ford responded

Hello Dale! We are very sorry to hear that you were disappointed with your experience. We have reviewed both your proposal and paperwork and everything matches and all pricing also matches our online pricing. We pride ourselves on making sure that all of our pricing and offers are consistent from start to end and we do not add on any additional fees, add ons, or surprises. We are unsure as to what the concern is over pricing but we would be happy to review your paperwork with you at any time. The last thing we want is for anyone to feel like we snuck in additional fees or items that were not disclosed. While many have experienced this when buying a vehicle, it just isn't the way we do things here. We want to turn this into a 5 star review and have you completely happy with your salesperson, your experience and your truck! If you are unclear on anything or have concerns please contact Nick at 618-344-5105 to set up a time to walk through everything.
