Ryan, You indicated months ago that you were not interested in the Mache you had originally ordered. Nonetheless, we offered you another identically priced unit and you vulgarly refused. Best of luck to you.

Wow, two more lies by you Jim. You never contacted me period about my Mach E so that’s 1 lie. When did we talk? Never, I had to call you to find out you sold my car without my consent. and 2 you never offered me anything. You mentioned you had one but never told me I could have it cause I called you a liar and you didn’t seem to enjoy that. It’s called Karma Jim and it will eventually find a person like yourself who lies on a daily basis. Just wait!!!!

Robert, We appreciate the business that you did with us in the past. In 2020 you paid the market price for your 2020 vehicle, in 2021 you paid the market price for your 2021 vehicle. In 2022 you want to pay the same as you paid in 2020.The price of everything is up. Shipping, raw materials, chips, food, cars, boats, prices are up. We tried to ship a package overnight and the estimate to ship it was $100.00.We understand your frustration but we do not make the market.

Although the supply of new and used cars are at an all time low. The dealers were able to help my son find his first car. They made us a positive experience. I would recommend to anyone looking for a car. More

Ordered a Bronco a year ago, now that it’s done they tell me there’s a ten thousand dollar dealer hardship fee. Avoid at all costs. More
