No but they have a triple black convertible.

Nice - was looking at that one the other day ;)
Good to hear that you got your price - dealer mark-up is BS!
the ol' lady was trying to get them to deal on a new Escape...but we couldn't get the payment down enough. Maybe the rebates will bump up some more $ for the year end sale...maybe!

Thats sweet Joe! I'm kinda thinking Boss 302, see what is on the ground, wait to 12/31 and see who's gonna deal, last day of year is best day to get a deal, did it with a new Corvette, never could have gotten that deal any other time. Joe, better look out front, if there are tents in your yard, you are being OCCUPIED, rich guy. (Oh yes, made last payment on my 2011 F-150 today, it's all freaking mine.)

If its Peoria Ford just be patient they haven't forgotten you, especially if you were close on the deal, they let you think about it for awhile and then when they need a deal they call you back. Frankly I would never buy another car from Peoria Ford, I wouldn't have bought my Shelby there had it not been the only grabber blue, stripe delete, loaded Shelby in the state. They did nothing but lie from the beginning to the end with me, I swear I truly dont understand why they have to lie so much at dealerships or Stealerships

Thanks Rick.
Um since I'm on the hook for 5 years, you better look down the street Rick, they just heard you paid off your brand spanking new F150, talk about rich guy!?!?!? Congrats on the payoff, I know that's a good feeling. I'm hoping to pay more every month to get mine paid off sooner, which is why I needed a lower payment. At this point I'm freaking loving this car! I haven't detailed this thing to the max yet since I know its suppose to rain over the next few days, and I want to drive it
Still looking for a good detailer someones used before, and suggestions??

Also Rick Berge Ford has a Boss. If it were me Id be hunting the Laguna Seca only.

What were they lie about???
Yep, that's it - who was your sales guy?
We have been there maybe three times and Mike has called or texted about a million times. They kind of just dropped it all yesterday around 5pm...odd as it was the last day of the month and all BUT about an hour ago the sales manager called to say they hit our monthly payment target and to come back in...It is on the 4 banger Escape (better mpg) and not the V6 though. Not sure what to do - asking a few more questions and seeing if we can maybe get the bigger/nicer limited rims and pack in some warranty/maint plans.

I hear you on StealerShips! The F-ing Mazda place on Bell had a deal on a new loaded Grand Touring 3 all worked out after going back and fourth for a couple of days. The guy text and verbally stated 2.9% for 72 months at X monthly. We said OK and will be in later in the evening to finish up. Sat around and went through the whole new car walk through, Owner/Pres came out to talk with us and BS, set up the nav and radio and blutooth all waiting for the finance guy to be ready...then we go in and the deal is 4.99% for 84 months at the same monthly payment WTF the GM said they made an error and can't go back to what we were told (written down) etc. I get a little pssd and call them out saying why is that the Customers fault and he calls me an asshole WTF...ARRGH Wasted a good three or four hours over the last few days on that BS :(

I enjoy walking out of car dealers. Then I really enjoy when they call a day later and I tell them I have a new car in the garage from their competition.
