Great Salesman! Greedy Used Car Manager

My wife and I came to the dealership around 5:30-pm Tuesday 4/23/19. We were looking for a possible trade deal for a nice 2015 Blue Ford Edge SEL with low miles. We have a 2013 Genesis 3.8L sedan to trade, also with low miles and similar condition. The sales person, "Hitch", was very easy to talk with, knew his job very well, offered no pressure other than the usual, "If we can find the car you want today are you willing to do a deal"...We took the car for a test drive while the team inspected our car. I mentioned that we were only interested in a changeover price... not what our car was worth and what their car was worth, etc... I had done some advance checking on the KBB and other similar cars to ours, and had a fair idea of its value...even at a dealer price... We were SHOCKED and very disappointed when the manager came over with the offer! We were offered $7,500 trade for our Genesis [see KBB], and the Ford was priced at over $20,000. Way below KBB for our car and at the top of the curve for the Ford! WOW!!! What a 'greedy' manager. Then the Manager had the nerve and audacity to suggest we could buy a 2011 Ford Taurus and pay several thousand extra...again WOW and WOW again!! He must of thought that we were desperate idiots! His greed killed the deal! We really liked the Ford, and the interaction with "Hitch" was great...but, it was the manager that killed the deal as well as totally change our opinion of EVER buying a car from them or any of their affiliates!! It is a pity that Hitch was not able to do the deal... We were CASH + trade buyers too....no finance! I hope that "Hitch" can be promoted to manager soon, as the existing one will probably lose the company a lot of customers! If you DO want to do a deal with that company, be sure to ask if "Hitch" is available...

Oil Change and helpful hand

Again, Kalispell Ford provided great service and provided excellent service. Very thorough, friendly, and efficient. They took the vehicle right in, double checked everything and provided a full report (along with a free car wash).

Best car buying experience we’ve ever had.

Sales pressure was nonexistent, inventory was top notch, professionalism and integrity were outstanding, and NO GAMES. We don’t buy new vehicles often, but next time we’re going back to Kalispell Ford.
