Mr. Porrata, My management team was told that you wanted to trade the truck in due to the fact that you had issues with parking such a large truck in your neighborhood. I believe you ended up buying a F-150 the same type of truck you had before. I understand that the Super Dutys can be difficult to park in some neighborhoods. The new issues your bringing up now (two months later) are the first we have heard of such problems. You were given the ability to have the truck looked at by an independent party before buying it "AS IS". You also were given a contract cancellation option that you rejected aswell. So we did everything by the law and documented it also. There is always a potential risk in buying a USED vehicle. Perhaps next time you will feel more comfortable buying NEW and having a factory warranty. Thank you, Omar Z. General Manager

frank porrata responded

well mr. omar it seems to me that not only does your management team had no problem lieing to me they do the same to you. i believe either you have no idea what your people are doing to your cosumers or your part of it it,s your responsabillty if you care to make sure your cosumers leave sadisfied with your company and return to do more buisness and later speak good things about your people and tell others as well but sadly for you and your company that not happening and it,s just a matter of time when it will catch up to all of you there and there will be less and less cosumers untill none and then you close the doors. this is just another bad review under your companies belt and believe there are alot not just mine so it would seem to me that someone should worry about it and relize hey something not right but your bad reputation is spreading faster than you think when last week i was speaking to the loan manager of a bank in H.B. for whitch i am avery good costumer about a propety loan i mentioned H.B. ford and she went on to to say be carfeful they are well known to be a shady company i didn,t think they were so bad until my sister went there and told me how bad they realy are now i don,t recomend them and tell my costumers to aviod there dealership wow isn,t that a suprize to you or you alreay know

Huntington Beach Ford responded

Mr. Porrata, You failed to address the truck not fitting in you parking "space" in your last response. I assume that you think this is our fault aswell? You were given the option to take the truck prior to purchase and have it inspected which you declined. You were also given a 2 day contract cancellation option which you also declined. These are NOT lies but legal documemts you signed off sir. You have copies of all these legal forms if you would like to review them before you respond to me. Thank You, Omar Z. General Manager

frank porrata responded

it was only the mirrors that couldn,t pass by my fence unless i swinged them in inconvient but not impossible imentioned that first along with the other problems because i could not keep a truck with so many mechanical problems they said i could bring it back and exchange it but all the larger trucks or heavy duty ones have the same mirrors and i would have to select a f-150 that has smaller mirrors that could work for me and in the so called sale i was not told about the return option but the second time i was when they relized that the first time i wasn,t it also seems in your respones your talking abit sassy like your mad funny you guys screw me up and cost me a ton of money and your mad you and your company are not out any thing!

May 24, 2011 -

Huntington Beach Ford responded

Mr. Porrata You could have just folded the mirrors. They do fold you know? The truck not fitting in your space is not our fault. You bought the truck "AS IS" and signed all legal documents and were given the 2 day cancellation option both times and you refused. As far as your other comments are concerned I will not address for they are not professional at all! Good luck to you sir. Thank You, Omar Z. General Manager

frank porrata responded

very good sir you did it again one more unhappy costumer for your record and as far as professional goes you should,t be the one to comment about that you are far from knowing and your costumer service abillaties are very poor sorry your on the job

Don't think there is anything to talk about. I am sure you are aware and approve of your sales techniques. By other reviews I read, I am certainly not the first. When I have more time, I will file with BBB and chamber of commerce.

Apr 23, 2011 -

Huntington Beach Ford responded

I dont understand what you mean by "sales techniques". I was told you were the one selling us a truck, is that correct? The truck you were selling us had tires that are seperating at the sidewalls,parking brake that would not hold,bad brakes front and back,3rd brake out, and a minor engine leak. Most of the issues are safety related. The truck had several other non safety isssues as well. So Im not sure why you are upset and had a blow up in my showroom using vulgar language after my staff told you we had to do a safety check on the truck before we bought it off you. Even with all that Im still willing to buy the truck off you but I cannot pay for all the issues alone. The vehicle has to be safe and legal before it goes up for sale, because the liability is all ours. Thank You. Omar Z. 714-842-6611

Irondog05 responded

You had already inspected and driven the truck twice. There was no mention about adjusting the price that was offered because of a "safety check". AJ told us the truck was fine---and that they just wanted to see if the frame was bent. The monetary offer was not predicated on the "inspection". If I had been told that you wanted to inspect the truck before you could give me a quote, that would have been fine. Then you would not have wasted my time. I was told they couldn't issue me a check that night because the "owner wasn't there". There was no mention up front of any inspection further than what was already done. Then you kept my truck overnight with the promise that we would be all set at lunch time. That did not happen. You were not up front with this. The story kept changing---and my time was wasted. AJ said the $19000 price was low because that is what you would pay at auction. I don't think they let you take the truck with you overnight to inspect at an auction. I have certainly traded in cars before without leaving them overnight. Only the front pads were getting thin. One tire had been rubbed on the curb exposing some if the raised white letter rubber underneath. It was not separating. Your "BUYING" technique was to create a whole list of problems to lower the price. "No spare tire lock"?? Give me a break! Try being honest with people, and you won't have to suffer "vulgar" language. I am pretty sure some one has told you that was "bullshit" before. YOU created the situation. YOU created the location.

Apr 23, 2011 -

Huntington Beach Ford responded

We did not "create" the whole list of problems. They are actual REAL problems with the truck that need to be repaired before we can sell it, you are out of the picture once we buy it from you (this is not a trade in situation). The truck which you have driven for over 76,000 miles and probaly owned for 6 plus years cannot be sold to the public the way it sits today. AJ is not a mecanic nor is he in a position to tell you its ok simply by looking at it, I think you know that. Had you given him the information you just mentioned in your previous statement to me, maybe he would not of been as eager to buy it from you sir. Who was not being honest now? Bad brakes, bad tires, bad parking brake, etc, etc. These are serious safety issues that you should of mentioned from the start since you clearly knew about them. Who create the issue now sir? I respecfully do not believe you were being 100% up front with us at that time. Sorry I could not help you. Thank You.

Irondog05 responded

There were no "bad" brakes---they were getting worn down. I just had a complete check when you worked on my truck for a wiring harness. They said the front pads would need to be replaced next check up. This is a $50 item. The rears were fine. Your salesman called us to come down. "The price will be the same whether you trade it in or we buy it from you". The parking brake is a matter of adjustment to the cable. Obviously you are not a mechanic. The price I agreed on was $3000 below Kelly Blue Book Trade in. The real issue is you offered a price, it was agreed on, and then you pulled your "scam". AJ had the car inspected and driven (twice). He came back and said he could give us 19k for the truck. He said normally it would be more, but the new Blue Book had just come out lower and the market was poor. He said this was the price they would pay at auction. He asked if we needed a few minutes to decide. We talked it over and told him "OK". We shook hands on the deal. Period. Then the "bullshit" started. He could not issue a check because the "owner was not there". This implies that a check would be issued if the owner was there. AJ never asked about the condition of the truck. I would expect you would incur some costs getting it ready for your lot. That is YOUR problem. The only people being dishonest are from your dealership. As I stated before, if AJ would have said that the truck had to undergo and inspection before he could offer me a price, that would have been fine. Why don't you address that issue. WHY WOULD HE DO THAT? At Car Max, they look at your car for 20 minutes and make you an offer---whether you buy a car from them or not.
