Sounds like the dude is not good at mathematics. Compounded interest is not in his wheelhouse.

The loan is from The Bank of Bendover Massachusetts.

I was thinking the same probably 15% interest. It seems like he's bought quite a few vehicles from them I can’t see how his credit could be dog shit. I think he was more interested in leasing it and they wouldn’t do a lease on it.

It's a double edged sword. The sales manager at Germain said Ricart has the most Bronco orders in the state and it's not even close. Germain is 2nd in central Ohio and it's a distant second.

That's good because they are plugged into the process and familiar but it is bad because like you said - as soon as something is amiss with your deal - they will be on to the next customer and there will be a next customer.

I tried going through Roush Ford but I was going to be just their second bronco order and I was largely teaching the sales guy about the process. I felt uneasy and they fumbled my order for a few days so I walked away, canceled my reservation, and re-reserved with Germain.
I started off with Roush as well. Roush has since sold btw. Not sure what group is running it now. Anyhow they couldn't answer any of my questions. Ended up at Germain.

Still waiting for that vin....

I’m not sure why he’s waiting from mid July to bitch about it though.
Just another sad story of a consumer who put their faith in a dealer they thought they could trust. Additionally said same consumer didnt have a deal already worked out in writing.

Did a little facebook stalking on this to see the end result. And I've seen the dealer horror stories on here. But in the comment field when selling this one they were selling it for 44k after the customer backed out due to credit issues. So not only did they honor MSRP for the reservation but then gave the next person MSRP. Seems like the victim may not be a victim after all.

Victim wanted to lease it as that fit his budget they refused to do so. If the admin wants to close this thread I won’t be mad.

I'm from Central Ohio and I can confirm dealers have been difficult to work with here - however - I would have never ever worked with RIcart. I have had issues with both Germain and Roush but ultimately have my order opened with Germain but I cannot currently confirm it with Ford (error on their end - or just refusal to accept other orders).

Still - can confirm - Ricart is the worst and I don't doubt what he said is true.
My order is with Germain too, i saw ppl test driving broncos & never heard a peep from my sales rep that they had a few onsite for a few days… not overly happy with lack of communication or salesmanship, I have bought several vehicles from Germain & I feel like a complete stranger there…

They did you a favor. No vehicle is worth taking an 84 month loan for.

Man, I am really sorry to hear that but I am not surprised. I did get a chance to test drive one of the ones they had in stock, a Cyber Orange BL 4 dr 2.3 auto. At the time of driving it, I only had my reservation and was holding on to it because I was hoping they would open up the ManSquatch for ordering (which never did). Dealership called me and offered me a test drive so I took him up on it.

The Bronco was amazing and the test drive (plus a livid wife about a 2 dr) drove me from a BaseSquatch (2dr) all the way to a $50k BD 4dr Sas, Mid, Tow, 2.3L. You would think that'd be something the dealership would want to lock an order in for right? I test drove the BL a month ago.

I couldn't get them to schedule me to place my order, let alone even get them to enter it into the system. It took me scheduling an appointment at Roush for them to open an order in the computer for me which I ultimately canceled to switch to a 4dr BD. Then Ford's website was down and I'm still working to re-confirm an order.

Long story short - I'm really sorry you feel that way and most importantly that you missed a chance to drive the Bronco. I also feel like an afterthought. Never been so dismissed for wanting to spend $50k before however I'm more than happy to take it slow while all of these production bugs and constraints get worked out.

Plus I tacked another $10k on the bottom line I need to save for now.
