Prestige Ford-Garland Puzzled by Prestige Ford Financing Methods Garland Texas
Earlier in the year, I was looking at a recent trade-in, a 99 BMW, which the salesman said it would be around $11,000 to $12,000 since I wanted tax, title and license included in the final price. Also, I didn't want to put anything down since I bought cars before with just my signature and they had costs more. We tinker around with some figures for a while. I then left and was called later that day that it would be around $13,500 and the paperwork was ready with their Finance Dept. I went to the dealership and had the salesman "paged" twice. My son and I saw him walking around and perhaps, helping another customer but he did see my son. He didn't say anything to us and after a 45 minute wait, we finally walked out and decided not to buy the car. A bad omen I said to my son. The following day, I went to a Chevrolet dealer and bought a brand new 2008 Chev. that cost thousands of dollars more and just like I said, I signed my name and the car was mine.
A few days later, I received two notices from well known national lending institutions (one of them had already financed my other car) that they had rejected my finance because of the terms provided by Prestige Ford were not satisfactory. I never met with Prestige Ford's Finance Dept. but somehow, I had been rejected? I was baffled about this since I just financed a new car that costs more with just my signature. I guess this could be retaliation on a consumer since I now may have to put down that I had been denied credit whenever I am asked, but I can assure you, I have my story straight and what is funny about all this, Prestige Ford keeps sending me advertisements in the mail!!! I now steer away from them because I don't know what other surprises they may have for me or you if you don't buy their cars. Good luck.

A couple of weeks ago, I bought another vehicle that costs almost twice as much as the used BMW that Prestige Ford had for sale several months ago. And again, just a signature and the car was mine, a new 2009. Someone at Prestige Ford must have read my article, it looks like they stopped sending me advertisements after I posted them in "RipOff". Looks like they ran off Felix the Cat (but that's another story). Thank you RipOff Report.

If you have to, pay for an online credit report from all three credit bureaus and find what are your credit scores and what is wrong with your credit. A credit history inquiry by Prestige Ford should not blemish your credit history. I would find out what is meant by "terms provided by Prestige Ford were not satisfactory". If you did not meet with the finance manager at Prestige Ford and the credit bureaus show a bad mark, something is definitely wrong. If you can prove through your credit reports that Prestige Ford perpetrated fraud with your social security number, credit and signature, you may need to contact the district attorney.
