Posting for a friend (also P plate xr8 owner)

Adrain Brien Ford (used cars) in Adeliade AVOID AT ALL COSTS

Quote:
I wanted to sell my current car (BF XR8) so I went to my local ford dealer looking for new car. I was looking for an FPV
(BA/BF) or an FG so i looked around had a look at a Typhoon and an GTP.

Worked out numbers and finance because they don't let you even start the car without talking about money first, SERIOUSLY they made me agree on a set price on both the phoon and the GT before I had even turned on the ignition.

I took this in my stride as I really liked the GT, drove both cars and decided on the GT. But it didnt impress me as much as i thought it would, it was impressive just not THAT impressive (coming form an XR8).

So i spoke to the salesman asking for a few moments to think.
Typical salesman he was pushy and asked what I was thinking about, I simply said that it wasn't as impressed as I thought I'd be. At this point the manager comes through asking what I thought and I said the GT is good but it didnt jump out at me and its certainly not worth the price.

The manager then said AGRESSIVLY "Stop wasting our time mate, if the GT doesn't impress you then why are you here"

The manager then disappeared i was completely taken aback by the disrespect and lets face it rude behaviour. Here i am sitting in the office considering parting with $48,000 and this knob says that.

I then explained to the salesman that i just needed a few moments to think.

The manager then reappears and says to the salesman "stop wasting your time with this guy,theres other customers out there that are serious dont waste your time"

If he had given me 5 minutes at least i probably would have signed for the GT.

I rang the sales guy later on saying i was about to sign but his manager blew it for him. No excuse for poor customer service. I then said id be going to Wayne Phillis at christies beach. (good guys down there, service dept not great but they try and excelent customer service.)

The sales guy rang back saying that they would do the GT at the same price as the phoon, a drop of $8000 (yet when negoiated he wouldnt drop $500)

i said id think about it but it was unlikely.

this morning th sales guy rings me again saying that his manager blocked the price drop and it was back to the agreed price.

STAY AWAY FROM THESE KNOBS.

GO SEE MARK AT WAYNE PHILLIS USED CARS ARE TOP NOTCH.
HOw do these clowns get away with this
