Business ProfileforWoodhouse Ford of Blair

I wanted a Mazda, midsize, no black interior, and with the depreciation already gone. I got a Mazda CX30 (small, black interior with no depreciation). My salesman was very good at redirecting and confusing the situation, I was often reminded the sale price was only good for two days. I said at one time I was going to pass, but he kept coming back with reasons I should want this Mazda. Another time I voiced uncertainty and I was reminded I gave my word! I bought the CX30 for $13,000 plus $20,000 (low value) for my Ford. Within hours I was begging my salesman to get me out of the deal, I HATED the car, it was everything I did not want. I phoned the GM Joe and asked him not to proceed with the sale, but he never returned my call. I was offered to upgrade to the CX50 for $14,000 + 299. doc fees. I decided I wanted my Ford back and be done with everything - the offer was I got $5,218.00 back and they would keep $7,782.00 for having the car less than 72 hours. The CX30 had been used as a loaner from the dealership - I put very few miles on it. I was forced to register the vehicle and pay a $911.00 sales tax. They could have stopped the whole transaction, the paperwork had not even been started, as they were waiting for the check to clear. They could have given me a reasonable penalty, but they chose not too. I ended up paying 24,012.00 to get my Ford back less 26,250, trade-in; their numbers are all over the place!!! I was told they added the extra to my Ford to keep Uncle Sam happy! Mind you I am still out $7,782.00 and $911.00 in taxes. I saved a long time to be able to buy a car, and now I have to start over. So I want to warn others (women especially), take a man with you ( I never had to in the past but things have changed), and don't be so righteous that you won't break your word. I recommend staying away from this dealership if for no other reason than their lack of empathy, and perhaps greed. Nebraska needs the cooling-off period back!
