I bought mine at planet Ford 59 terrible experience buying from them. And their service department is pure garbage, absolutely the worst dealer I've ever dealt with.

Having to deal with planet Ford almost made me trade in my truck like a month after buying. I guess it's my fault for not driving to a better dealer but unfortunately the two closest dealers to me are both planet Ford.

Baytown Ford
Friendly Ford

All of these dealers attempt to add thousands of dollars on to their advertised online price. It's these dealers and others like them who give the industry a terrible name.
check out Legacy ford in Rosenberg. Still a stealership at the and of the day but not as bad as others I have dealt with.

+1 on Ryan Ford in sealy, easiest purchase ever. Curtis Markland is a bs straight shooter. I also bought another vehicle from Mak Haick Ford and will never buy from again. They sales team is ok and were pretty good about getting the price down, the the service side sucks and would not take responsibility from their mistakes.

I have been back and forth with autonation gulf freeway's online sales after a truck spec'd how I wanted turned up overnight. They seem ok so far, but I'm 600 miles away in Amarillo and have my doubts the pricing could be this good.

They are offering 22k on a 2012 FX4 special edition with 86K and a new2017 Lariat 3.5/10spd - sport - max tow - FX4 - moonroof - tailgate step for 52K which is below the A-plan program I could use. In the back of my head I figure this would be 600 miles of heartache after I get there and they play games, with plus its shadow black and my first choice would be race red.

Autonation will not honor the online price. If you take the online price + 6.25% tax, you'll still need to add $2,000-$4,000 to arrive at their OTD price.

Joe, that's really not the issue. The issue is their fake advertised price in relation to the OTD price. The devil is in the "TT&L" details.

I should be getting their deal sheet this morning so I'll make sure to watch closely. They can't be any worse than the local dealer I was talking to about ordering my truck that was adding a little bit to every fee/tax and stood to make 1500 bucks from just that. I called them on the TTL not adding up and they no longer wanted to talk.

Agree that it's a shady way to do business. But, stop going by the advertising price. Do your homework and come up with a fair price ahead time. Call them and ask if they can do that price. If they cant, move on.
