Maybe you should instruct your salesman to try selling me the vehicle that I want instead of selling the vehicle THEY want? I mentioned numerous times that I really wanted a truck and I was looking at getting an F-150, depending on whether or not I could get a decent price for my second vehicle, a Ford 1988 Crown Victoria in excellent condition with 53k original miles. Your dealership was not interested in it so your salesman suggested I take it up to Gordie Boucher Lincoln West Allis and show it to "Joe England" as he may be interested in buying it. So I drove it up there all the way from Kenosha on a workday so he could look at it. He took it for a test drive, seemed to like it then said he would contact the Gordie Boucher Ford manager "Vaughn" with the numbers. I was later informed by Vaughn that he never called. Then I tried reaching out to Joe myself and I left a message politely asking if he wanted the car or not and he didn't even give me the courtesy of a callback. So I wasted my time, gas and put needless miles on my low mileage antique car for no reason (this whole ordeal is a separate issue which I have left negative feedback for Gordie Boucher Lincoln as well). Regardless whether I was able to sell the Crown Vic or not, your salesman wasn't interested in getting me the exact F-150 I wanted anyway, which was 600 miles from your dealership. Since I was unable to trade in my Crown Vic I told the salesman that I was just going to keep it and that I was also open to getting a Ford Maverick since it was less expensive but every time I brought it up he acted like he wasn't interested in selling me one, kept telling me there was no deals on them and that they didn't have any 2024's left (the only vehicles they were supposedly giving deals on at that time). He kept trying to sell me a Bronco or another Escape (I never really wanted the first one he sold me to begin with) So I went out to your lot and sure enough, there were at least three 2024 Mavericks still sitting out there, one of which I really would've liked to have bought but by that time I was tired of all the nonsense and back and forth and I decided that I would just take my business elsewhere.

I reached out to Gordie Boucher Ford asking for some actual numbers on the vehicle I was interested in and they came back with an absurd offer of $590 per month for 84 months including a $18675 trade in on my 2022 Ford Escape AND a second vehicle trade in on a pristine 1988 Ford Crown Victoria with 53k original miles PLUS $2,000 down, all for a Ford Maverick under 30k and that's supposedly including a discount through employee pricing. Granted, I'm upside down on my Escape by around $8000 but even then that's a total rip off!
