Legacy Ford was, initially, very helpful and very - MomDaughter
Legacy Ford was, initially, very helpful and very attentive. We explained our situation and told them what we wanted to trade for (a used 2024 Bronco). We were told that wouldn't work because they couldn't trade used for used. (Doesn't sound quite right to me.) Anyway, they began to work up a deal and then told us "Come look at your new Bronco." They worked up a Bronco Sport, not a Bronco as we specifically requested. By the time we were informed of the vehicle, they were already finalizing information and details with the financial institution. (We were NOT even able to choose the color of the vehicle!!!! They had several darker colors, but they chose white for us rather than letting us choose!) Once the papers were ready to sign, we were informed that our payment was $200 more than the top end of the payment range we requested AND we had to do a down payment (which we told them we could not afford). By the time we were actually sitting in front of the man ready to sign the papers, we had been at the dealership for more than 3 hours! (We were there so long that all of the employees except our salesman and the finance guy had left!) The finance guy had found a mistake in the paperwork and was trying to fix it, but couldn't. So, we had to go back the next day to finish signing the papers. (We were told that the payment would "probably drop bout $50, but definitely wouldn't go up." That was a lie. It went up another $47!) We have been happy with the Bronco Sport, even though it was not what we told them we wanted, and plan to keep it. (Not that we could afford to do anything about it, anyway.) We did tell the representative from the financil institution when they called us because they wanted to verify the information. So, if you go to any of the Legacy dealerships, make sure you are included in all conversations AND that you get what you want NOT what they want you to have.
