Even though the local dealer ive been talking to, and left $1,200 deposit with (Phil Long Ford in Littleton, CO) told me my truck still wasn't delivered, i figured I would call FordSVT to check on the status. So I call ford and they say the truck was delivered May 8th and Sold May 10th. WTF. I was allready starting to ask for my deposit back since it didnt feel right. I just knew it.
Called my salesman there. He obviously didn't know what to say. Tried to give me all sorts of BS. It doesnt take much to figure it out. Someone must have came in, offered to pay more than my price (My deal was AT MSRP), and they sold it. They figured since my current F150 is leased they would wait till it was crunch time, they they 'got me' since i need a vehicle. Then they would get me into something else.
Totally NOT COOL.
I can say this, i said i wanted my deposit ($1,200) back today, and they gave me a check without hassle.
Luckily, the dealer in Florida I bought my current truck from (Greenway Ford in Orlando) had ordered the exact raptor I wanted when i had expressed interest in it a while back. One call to them, sent them the deposit, and it was mine. Didnt want to have to drive from Denver to Orlando to pick it up, but love Florida so i guess a trip down there isnt that bad =). Ill bring the GF, spend a few days there, and make it a fun trip.
If anyone needs a dealer, I can set you up with my guy there, PM me. Cant recommend them enough. When I traded in my H2 for my current F150 I never even went there. All was done over the phone. When I went to pick it up it took less than an hour. Boom. Done. Thats the kind of dealer that earns my business.
