PowerFord , Sad Dissapointed Disstasteful - Never Again!

[Blue Oval Mopar Man]

Hi flammin, my parents were looking at buying their twin cab turbo V8 deisel F250 about a couple of years . My old man is a Veitnam vet , and on a govt pension, and one of the breaks they get is he doesnt pay certain taxes ! So they went to the local ford dealership and were looking at a single cab , waiting for someone to approch them ! Nothing ! HE approches one of the salesmen and they sit down to talk about the Ftruck. The oldies take it for a test drive for an hour and fall in love with it ! Ok so they tell the bloke they will pay cash (not finance or anything ) and the bloke is tells them a price ! Dad says that he has certain tax exemptions and that he also knows what the F250 sells for down south ! the bloke tells my old man that "everyone pays the taxes and this is their price ! So mum and dad left ! Went down south about 2 weeks later ! Turns out that 2 of my uncles also want F250's . so the 3 boys dont tell the wives where they are headed and disapear for the day . Went to a ford dealer in southern Bisbane and before the salesman got past introducing them selves , uncle Ian askes him for his best price on 3 F250's , ready to drive out by the end of the day ! The bloke tells him he has to be joking ! Ian says no Im serious and we can go to another dealer about 40 mins away and ask them if he likes ! The bloke looks stunned and tells them its not possible to have them by the end of the day !Ian tells them he has the best part of $200 000 between them that says they can. Dad and the 2 uncles had already chosen the 250's sitting in the storage yard ! Uncle Ian has bought vehicles from this dealer before so knows what they can do when the dollars are shown to them ! They drove out that afternoon in the F trucks they had chosen ! Dad got his white twin cab and the uncles got their single cabs by making it known they werent there to be stuffed around !!! Uncle Ian is also a Vietnam vet and has the same tax breaks as the old man .. When Mum and dad were up here a coupl;e of weeks later me and dad dropped into the ford dealer and spoke to the salesman that treated then like the first time ! When he heard how much dad payed he basically called dad a liar , So dad showed him the contract and gave him the salesmans card if he wanted to ask him himself ! The truck has never been in a ford workshop just because the dealerships up here rape customers twice as bad as anywhere down south ! It gets serviceed by a family freind who owns a repco franchised workshop ! Or I work on it ! the only thing they dont like about the Ftruck is the fuel consumption ! Everything else is spot on ! The ford dealer has changed hads since them and I am led to beleive they are a much better dealrship now , but I imagine some people still feel shafted by them !
