Question
Bought my EX XLT mid February. Standard all day pain then 2-3 hours with the very nice person in finance. Noticed that they were charging me for an “alarm system” that all dealers put on their cars and something called ‘etching’. Next day looking over my bill of sell I noticed several errors. Like why would I pay for 2 alarm systems when the car came with factory installed alarm system. Finance guy very upset with me when I requested their alarm gets removed and my $300.00 refunded. He said no way would I get that money. He would only give to Ford Motor Credit Company. No biggie to me who gets the refund. So they removed the alarm in early March.
After numerous phone calls, voice mail, and texts I get a check last week made out to me and FMCC. Called FMCC and they were dumb founded that they would write the check that way. FMCC said it should have been made out to me. So now I am hoping it clears ok…I signed it and seen to FMCC. Question is now that I have lost confidence in the dealer can I take my car somewhere else without missing up my warranty? And can dealers charge me for things the factory puts on like the etching?
Thanks
