Rodeo Ford
Plano Texas fraudulent sale and finance numbers

My adventure began on friday, August 5. I went to the dealership mid-day looking to trade my 2008 toyota tacoma for a 3/4 ton 4x4 diesel. Found a sales guy who showed me a "used 2006 ford f250 kingranch". With my 4 year old son anxiously ready to leave, I let them appraise my truck and told them the $35,000 asking price for this f250 was too high with 38,000 miles on it. They immediately fired back with a $5500 reduced price.

I then asked to see three numbers and asked one question for clarification:
1. What is your final asking price for the truck
2. What is my appraised value for my truck
3. What is the payoff for my truck
4. Is the sales tax applied to the asking price of the truck or the difference with trade if negative equity was involved - answer - to the sale price of the truck

Note #4 is the only thing they did right in our two days of deal making. Based on their numbers, I estimated the tax and gave them an "out the door price" with warranty

The salesman quickly replied to the warranty question "Rodeo gives you a lifetime warranty on powertrain including transmission and transfer case"

First three lies come to light as I look at the truck closer - it is a not it is a 1-ton, not a 3/4 ton and there is a stain in the carpet approximately 3 feet long

I then ask for a re-negotiated price as the truck is an additional year older, stains on the carpet, etc.

Agree to another "out the door price" and go to finance to sign papers and low and behold the warranty doesn't exist and they want additional $2000.00 to cover the transmission and transfer case.

The lies continue for a full 24 hour period until 10:30 the following night when I am told "I don't give a shit if you buy the truck or not, I blew out my knee, its late, we all have families...". I then stood up and headed for the door with this person, who happened to be a manager for the dealership shouting "go ahead and leave, I don't care...".

If you want all of the details or want to know the extent of the fraud, both verbal and in writing in the finance contract, please email me. Any lawyers interested, this would be an easy win for you.
