I went to Bobby Jones Ford in Augusta, Georgia to look at trading on a 14' Deep Impact Blue. Anyway, while talking to the salesman "Bo" (last name not Duke as far as I know). He said that a Ford rep told them in a recent meeting that the 5.0 will not be in the 15+ Gt's. Whether this was a BS sales tactic or what, I don't know. However, everyone feel free to call Bo at Bobby Jones Ford, hold him to the fire and ask him about this. He said the rep stated in the meeting that the 5.0 will only be in the trucks in 15+.

 

Bo told you wrong.

 

so what about trading for a 14?? Did they have one you wanted? Did you test drive one?

 

Reminds me of the old Nike commercials, however, in this case, "Bo doesn't Know."

 

Took the pixels right off'a my monitor.

 

I was hoping he was full of it because that was news to me.

 

No. The main reasons I am considering a trade is because the car would have 0 miles instead of 20,000, it would be 2 1/2 years newer and the last of the body style. I do like some of the 13+ features over the 11-12 but it isn't earth shattering preferences. If it doesn't happen, I'm 100% satisfied with my 12'.

 

The truck 5L will only be in the trucks...this is true.

 

Dealers know less about these cars than we do. Go in and place an order, they'll have no clue what any of the options are. I basically educated my salesman on the 2013. It was embarrassing.

 

The guy was jerking your chain. The Coyote 5.0 will cary over to the new body style.

 

"Nope, 2015's won't have that engine. Better get the 2014 instead!"

lmao

 

In this case, Bo didn't know. The Coyote isn't going anywhere.

 

These guys know squat. Most bounce from one dealer to another. Chevy to Ford to Fiat. They read their books, look up specs on the interwebs and regurgitate the info. I knew more about my '12 than the salesman and parts guys. Sad really. He's throwing you a bad sales pitch to get you into a new car. '15s aren't on sale yet so makes no money when you ask about them. Gl with your hunt for a'14.

 

 

"Bo doesn't know about the 2015 five point oh"

Kinda rhymes...

 

LOL this is exactly what came to mind when I read the OP's story. Love it.

 

Yes, Bo, there is a FIVE POINT OH!

 

LOL

 

While many salesmen are clueless about their product, keep in mind that some of us in the business know our product incredibly well. I was a Mustang enthusiast long before I was ever in the car biz and I work diligently to make sure that the salesmen that work for me give customers correct information.
