It was Sunset Ford in Westminster, CA. I bought my car there, and ended up with an adequate deal, but they did the old-school grind on me harder than I've ever been ground before. I had to do 3 separate "fake walk-outs" to get the car for the price I wanted.

I wish we, as educated Mustang owners, could call them on this lame crap. What can we do?

 

You could say up front"am I gonna have to do the fake walk out 3 x?Cuz if so I'm outta here!"

 

dealer did window etching for free on mine they do it to every one of their cars..probably to offer something the others dont since this is land O rice and theres 12 ford dealers within 20 miles

 

I was ready to buy a 1996 cobra. When I sat down to do the financing they add $995 for undercoating, scotch guarding and paint treatment. I said I didn't want it, he said I had to take it "it was all ready on the car". That was a lie because the car was still dirty and not prepped. I told my sales man forget it and walked out. A week later the salesman called me and said they took that stuff off the car so if I still wanted it come on in. What a joke...

 

Try Mossy Ford in San Diego! The actual purchase took only 30 minutes and ZERO walk-outs. In fact the finance rep came to me right in the showroom (no backroom bu11). If not for the lojack install and a tiny touchup under the spoiler (yeah I checked every inch) it would have been the quickest deal of the century. I plan to buy all my cars from Teri Temeyosa @ Mossy!

 

My dealer also tried the "window etching" sales tactic. I said no. Remove windows...etching gone.
