Wow thats the second Ford Dealer thats changed ownership and names in the last few months.

Wondering if maybe the "Old Name" has a bad reputation so they are trying to hide it with a name change, or just maybe the new owenership wants to start fresh from ground zero name and all?

I think the old name had kinda geezer affect(riding of into the Sunset of your life), being next to Sun City. Change do happen and I think this is the best for this Ford store. Previous owner really didn't make an effort to market the product (very little advertising, no performance efforts). But I hear that the group that now owns the store are real arm twisters (like Bell Ford). Peoria Ford definitly gets my personal "Stay Away Award" (like Bell Ford), until I hear otherwise.

what is wrong with bell ford? I have heard that they are pretty good people?

Obviously you have not read some of the posts on this site (find the thread about the guy that tried to get a GT-500). I tried to buy a new 08 Bullitt at Bell Ford (they marked up 10K over msrp) was jacked around, so I went to Sanderson and got the same car the same day at msrp. When the sales person at Bell called me later to see if I wanted the car I told him the deal I got at Sanderson and he accused me of being a lier.

When I got my 04 I went into Bell and left a few minutes later after the sales guy told me the price.
