Bought a new 2014 Ford Fusion on Black Friday. Lyndon... - Tomward01
Bought a new 2014 Ford Fusion on Black Friday. Lyndon and Justin in the sales department did an excellent job and I cannot enough good things about them. I negotiated a great deal on the vehicle. When I got to the finance department I put a small amount on a credit card and the rest in a personal check. I trusted that Tim in the financial department who works with numbers all the time was giving me a final amount that I needed to write the check for which was accurate. He overcharged me by $950.00!! I only discovered the "mistake" or overcharge the next day when I slowly went over the contract with a calculator. I called him that night but he was busy with another customer and told me to call back the next day. When I did, he did not act surprised or concerned but agreed to refund the money immediately. Almost as though he knew about the miscalculation. I expected him to tell me he wanted to go over the contract again to make sure there were no other errors but he did not. The next day I called Jim Buerge (the owner of the dealership). He did apologize, but did not seem to concerned and stated "mistakes do happen and we sold a lot of cars that day" ( on Black Friday 2013). I wonder if he would have been so forgiving if his finance man had made the error in my favor?? If you decide to buy from this dealership watch out for what I believe was bait and switch game. Give a great sales price and then stick it to them in the final contract. I highly recommend you slowly go over the final contract line by line with your own calculator to make sure all of the numbers are correct. I will not be taking my new Ford to Buerge Ford for service and will not recommend any one do business with them. The Fusion is a great car...just make sure you find an honest and reliable dealership who will not attempt to rip you off.
