I assume that Ford of Issaquah is Evergreen Ford? Good to know. I'll be watching this and the Dealer thread for more information. Sound Ford just doesn't seem to care, but I'll definitely drive to Bellevue for my Bronco.Ford of Bellevue will honor X-plan pricing, confirmed this yesterday. They also have the mostup-to-date service center (after their dealership burned to the ground a few years back) of the local Ford dealerships.
My GF did a custom-build and pre-release ordering of the 2019 Ranger through Ford of Bellevue. They honored X-plan then as well and were incredibly easy to work with. We have had zero issues working with Ford of Bellevue in any department.
I have only had a few interactions with Ford of Kirkland and they seemed middle of the road. A bit pushier in sales than needed, but that's their job to sell cars. I'm not surprised they won't honor plan pricing.
Ford of Issaquah is a bunch of crooks and has been a bunch of crooks for the 15 or so years that I or any friend has had to deal with them. I would never give them one red cent. Their incidents are:
1. They damaged my (now-ex) wife's Mustang GT when it was in for service then did a "Fischer Price, my first body work" hack job of the body work and "I was too drunk to huff paint" job on spraying. It took over 4 months to "convince" them that it was their responsibility to fix damage they caused while the car was in their care. (hat tip: You can't replace a panel and color match, spray, clear and cure it to OEM standards in 45 minutes, but they tried to spin it off that they could)
2. Bait-&-switch pricing and pumping points into the interest rate after having an agreement in writing. No, you can't just pump 2 points of interest into an agreed upon loan at the last second because your finance manager wants to buy a new boat after work. I will buy elsewhere
3. Put 1 quart of oil into a friends brand new BOSS 302 Mustang (purchased at Ford of Issaquah) after it's very first oil change with less than 1,000 miles (And after charging him for 7 quarts of the mandatory ~$15 a quart for the extra special dino juice used in that motor instead of a free oil change for dropping over $60K on a fully optioned BOSS). Motor blew up a few miles from the dealership. They refused to replace the motor after the car was towed back and found to be dry. I think the odometer was 8 miles over it's exit-mileage. That went up to the national level for resolution. They then installed the replacement motor incorrectly causing the head to have to be replaced. Turned out National office had to fly out a certified tech as Ford of Issaquah didn't actually have a tech certified to work on the BOSS 302's who had done the work on the car, and caused the motor to blow. Dealership finally told him that the warranty on the car was void due to how expensive repairs were. Ford's national team has since restored his warranty.
Lets just say that there have been Fords in the family since 1955 and Ford of Issaquah has been the only completely shady dealership to work with. Not a single department of that dealership is devoid of shame and crooks.
Family traded in their '55 Thunderbird for this '61 that I now own.
