Francisco Olguin

I contacted Stanley Ford from out of state, with multiple pre-approvals on financing, had a 2 year old trade that was in excellent condition, under full factory warranty, with only 18k mileage, but had a mo pre-approvals on financing, had a 2 year old trade that was in excellent condition, under full factory warranty, with only 18k mileage, but had a moderate engine issue covered under the bumper to bumper, factory warranty. After 2 days, sales manager, Francisco Olguin, finally contacted me back. He did not even know the price that was listed on the new vehicle I was looking at, and tried to begin negotiations $9,100 over the price they had the vehicle listed for. I had a guaranteed blue book trading estimate in the condition that the vehicle was in for $35,000. Repaired, vehicles such as my trade, are selling on used car dealership lots for$39,000-$45,000. On top of trying to overcharge me $9000 from the price that they had listed, he tried to offer me $28,000 for my trade. He then proceeded to let me know that there would be a $360 delivery charge to a town I did not even live in. When trying to discuss the issue, he was very rude, continually spoke and interrupted over anything that I tried to say, and would hear no information. I hung up on him and walked away from the deal with relief! With all the issues that new car dealers are having, and with Ford closing franchise dealers in small towns all over America, it is a shock that dealerships think that they can continue to operate in this fashion, ripping people off, and doing business in such a way as this sales manager, and this dealership are continuing to do. The vehicle that I was looking at on their lot was a new 2024 model that had been on their lot nearing 200 days. I hate to see small businesses in bad financial condition, as I have been a small business owner, and I understand the difficulties involved. I have to say, however, with business tactics like Stanley Ford in Sweetwater, Texas, use, sales managers with dishonest and crooked business practices, and lack of basic decorum and manners, I’m extremely surprised this dealership remains in business. I would highly recommend that anyone looking to do business with Stanley Ford, takes advantage of the resources available on the Internet today, such as car edge or bumper.com and do some research. The invoice price paid by these dealerships, as well as the holdback amounts and days that these vehicles have been on their lots can easily be found. DO NOT APPROACH THIS DEALERSHIP OR DO BUSINESS WITH THIS DEALERSHIP WITHOUT FIRST KNOWING THE NUMBERS OF THE VEHICLES THAT YOU’RE LOOKING AT AS FRANCISCO OLGUIN HAS SHOWN THAT HE HAS NO INTEREST IN FAIR BUSINESS OR HONESTY! THEY ATTEMPTED TO DEFRAUD ME OF $16,100! Had I not have been educated and informed, I could have fallen victim to scam artist, fraudsters, and thieves!!! More
