At least twice before. But spot on. Read more

Except you and I are from different circumstances. I also get A Plan, so my daily driver is the Explorer. I’ll take the A Plan Explorer over the full price Tahoe any day of the week. I also like Ford trucks over Chevy, even without the discount. Read more

LEASED an Impala. And have bought FOUR Explorers. I swear by them. Let me guess: you buy Japanese? Read more

A good salesman can pick a better dealer to work at. They tend to rise or sink to the level they belong at.

Well, I’ve written quite a bit about my love of the Explorer here so I need to be consistent as best I can.

It seems that a huge number of salespeople are nomadic. I have tried to track down many (as witnesses in lawsuits) and they almost are never working at the same dealer when I find them. Often, they are just a few doors down the same street. Read more

Oh my. At the time I lived north and this was Al Serra in GB. But I suspect they do this at all their dealerships.

All of my Explorers have had truck frames under them. And the only issue I’ve had with any one of them was the Firestone/Bridgestone boondoggle. Got me a brand new set of 4 tires for free - just as I needed to replace the old set. BINGO! It was like I was being rewarded for being a repeat customer. Read more

What area are you suspecting this was? And if so, can you guess the name of the dealer? I will tell you if you are right.

I was one of two people contributing to this decision (I was out-voted). I took the car for service to anywhere but the leasing dealer. And if I had ever gotten another Chevy (Which I never have) I would have gone elsewhere. This dealership was a cesspool of scumbaggery. Read more

If you read between the lines: I am not a GM employee. I was only 1/2 of the purchase making decision and I was out-voted. I tried that argument but the other party thought $75 was not enough to go buy the car ten miles away.

Is the Taurus built on a truck frame? I think not. Read more

In this case, the decision was not ENTIRELY mine to make. I voted to go elsewhere but was outvoted.

That’s a new one. I wonder how often they “sell” it?

He couldn’t say they pinstriped them at the factory - so he had to go with the earliest point he could. Which was silly.

You need to read between the lines. I am not a GM employee. The discount was because of someone I was related to (who may have influenced the purchase - and the decision to pay the $75). Read more

I SUSPECT that they know most people will buy the Proof and then never pay again. In exchange, they probably deny 99% of all valid claims sent their way but stay in business by lobbying the right people in each state’s capital.

There are people who will return because of the good experience. And tell their friends. Like I said, the guy I bought the explorers from - he got my business, that of my friends and relatives, and I bet he has other customers who do the same. Read more
