Dealers

[Bucknaked]

Not that I do this very often :hihi: but I'm going to have a whinge. My gripe is this.

I visited my dealer recently for an evaluation on my car. To cut a long story short, I got told that my car is worth mid to high teens. In the words of the salesman "The car is not worth much because it's just an AU XR6" I found this an interesting quote for my 3 year old falcon. Considering when I bought the car from the same yard, I had the big pitch about the VCT, IRS, leather, sunroof, Premium brakes, Premium Sound and the fact it was a ford exec vehicle. That couldn't speak highly enough of the car when they were trying to flog it. Tickford engineering, now that’s something special. Now I'm considering trading it, I get "Its just an AU XR6" Do they not care about tickford like they did when I was buying the car.

I guess I shouldn't be too surprised, I've heard they are one of the worst yards for trade in prices in Canberra. The other dealer is better.

I know trading, you get bugger all, but basically telling a customer that their car is a box, is not the way to win a future sale.

Don't get me wrong, I can appreciate that’s it’s a used car with low kays and its not a BA, but maybe give me a little more that what I can get a forte for. I do actually take pride in my car and care for it.

Home of the good deal. Bwhahahaha.

For the record, I was just after an evaluation. The box will be staying put.

Has anyone had experiences like that before. Dealers suck
