From the beginning, this transaction was handled poorly. I strongly believe I was underpaid for my vehicle. After clearly explaining that both my wife and I were on the loan, Gary called me back app More

Marshal Mize Ford responded

Dear Mr. Morgan, Thank you for bringing your concerns to our attention. We appreciate the opportunity to clarify what occurred. When you visited Marshal Mize Ford to sell your vehicle, you requested a specific purchase amount. We agreed to that amount without negotiation and completed the purchase exactly as requested. Shortly after you left, we realized that both owners listed on the loan needed to sign the required paperwork. We immediately contacted you so that the documents could be completed properly and in compliance with lender and title requirements. We apologize for the inconvenience of having to return briefly to finish that paperwork. Regarding the payoff and equity process: because there was an outstanding loan on the vehicle, our standard procedure is to send payoff funds to the lender and wait until we receive a clear title before issuing any equity payment. This protects both the customer and the dealership from title or lien complications. You were advised that this process typically takes about 7–10 days depending on lender processing times. Even though we had not yet received the title, we issued your equity check early as a goodwill gesture to help you, which is outside of our normal procedure. We understand your concerns about communication and apologize if any follow-up did not meet your expectations. We have confirmed that the payoff has been processed, and all required documentation is available to you upon request. Our management team remains available if you would like to review any details together. At this time, we believe we have fulfilled all obligations of the transaction by: • Paying the exact amount you requested for your vehicle • Processing the payoff to your lender • Providing your equity funds early as a courtesy No further action is required, but we are always happy to speak directly if you have additional questions. Best regards, Shaun Kesler General Sales Manager Marshal Mize Ford

We do sympathize with the inconvenience you experienced with your vehicle; however, the issue itself was not caused by work performed at our dealership. Our service advisor made multiple attempts to provide updates via phone and text, and it was later discovered that the primary contact number on file belonged to your fiancé, which contributed to communication challenges. When you arrived to pick up the vehicle, our team attempted to assist; however, the interaction escalated and included the use of profanity toward our staff. Upon leaving the dealership, a set of keys belonging to another customer was mistakenly taken. When we reached out to address this, inappropriate language was again directed toward our service advisor, and the request to return the keys were initially refused. Arrangements were eventually made for their return, which required one of our employees to retrieve them. We strive to provide professional and respectful service to all customers, and we ask that the same courtesy be extended to our team.
