Ford advice and general car sales stories

New job hu? Sorry I'm just seeing this but ...Congrats! Sounds like a pretty good job.

If your still looking for advice...
Don't ignore someone just because they come in driving a beater. This DOES NOT mean that they can't afford a car.
Obviously they want to get a new/used car if they are looking!

When we bought our Durango we drove to the car lots in Mark's 1980 something rusted out Cavalier. Most of the places wouldn't even come up to us :rolleyes: Guess they thought we couldn't afford a new car:o
When we found a place that did, that's where we bought our new car!

It's ok. ;)

My brother-in law has a garage. He sells new cars (all Ford's), and repairs damaged cars. So, half of my family is driving a Ford ;) :D
My Ford is a Ford Focus. When I bought it 6 years ago, we had a long talk with him about what I wanted, and what we could afford. As my kids were growing up then, I wanted a 5-doors. The info I got was VERY good! And the car is still perfect to me!!

May I give you an advize? When the buyers come to pick up their new car, be sure to explain EVERY button in the car! My brother-in-law didn't do that at all. So I had to find out the hard way :rolleyes: ! My hubby had same problem with his last Ford (he is driving a Lexus now). We were on vacation far away from home. Suddenly, we couldn't start the car anymore. NOTHING at all! After 2 long days, we finally discovered that Bernard had slammed the trunk really hard to get it closed (lots of suitcases). By doing this, he activated a system that stops the engine when the car has an accident....! If we had known that then, we could have pushed that tiny button in the trunk, and everything would have been fixed in 5 seconds!!

Good luck with your job!!

ps. My husband bought a Lexus, because Lexus and Toyota, is one of his major clients (audit)
