Priced way too fucking high and Ford didn’t do anything about dealerships marking up on an already absurd price.
I will never forget test driving a Maverick and the salesman bragging about how his dealership put a $75k markup on the Lightnings just because they could.
Put a sour taste in my mouth for anything Ford ever again in the future.
Why would a salesman ever say that to a customer! Or even anyone!
You don't need to be smart to be a car salesman. I think it may actually be a hindrance.
I had a salesman tell me once that I could get a really good deal on an R32. Someone at the dealership took it out for a joyride and rolled it, but because it wasn’t insured, they slapped it back together and sold it with a clean title.
Another time I had a sales guy try to sell me a truck with 100k miles put on it in 12 months with no maintenance records.
When selling products where demand massively exceeds supply sales staff aren't required at all.
