Very deceitful, dishonest and should not be able to carry the Ford name!! Ford has informed dealerships throughout the country that the practice of up pricing vehicles $5,000 OVER STICKER PRICE is discourage More

This was their Fall River location.

Dear David, We have no record of a customer by the name David McCauley, but we did find another customer in our database who had similar comments. Therefore, if you are referring to the new Bronco Raptor pricing, you will find other dealers pricing their vehicles over MSRP as well because it is a specialty vehicle with a very limited supply of inventory. These are not deceitful tactics. We price our vehicles based on the market conditions as well as the supply and demand of each vehicle, just as other dealers do.

No, I was making the purchase with my son Ryan McCauley. It was a Ford Maverick and AFTER we looked at the truck and tested how it felt the salesman put on dealer plates to take for a test drive. An hour later we sat down to discuss the price. After some “back and forth”, he was hinting that his supervisor was not going to accept an offer less than the MSPR. He came back with a made up form with the addition of $5,000 over MSRP!!!! I told him we were not paying over MSRP. He left again and came back with “Bryce”. After much back and forth with Bryce he said he had to call his boss (Rick Torres) at home because he was instructed to call before selling this truck. After wasting over 3 hours, I stood up to leave knowing how we were being scammed. Unfortunately, my son was talked into their reasoning why the truck was over MSRP, showing us his invoice from ford saying they don’t make any money on this truck without a markup! Against my advice, Ryan bought the truck for more than $1,500 over MSRP!! If we were told of this Ludacris sales practice of this dealership before we drove there or even when we arrived there, we would have left before the bait and hook was done to my son!! In answer to your response: Ryan McCauley bought a 2023 Ford Maverick (that was on the lot), at the Fall River site on Friday July 22, 2023. If you still cannot find a record of this I will gladly provide you with the vin numbers and photos of the truck in your dealership lot.

Also, referring to your response, I’m sure you do have similar responses to mine. What does that tell you????
