Benson Ford Inc

Tim Emory, the used car dealership manager, treated my wife and I like trash. A simple, "Benson Ford cannot except your offer of $XXXXX" would have sufficed, instead Mr. Emory decided to insult me and my wife and I like trash. A simple, "Benson Ford cannot except your offer of $XXXXX" would have sufficed, instead Mr. Emory decided to insult me and my wife for an "unreasonable" offer. He thought it would help to explain that car dealers are here to make a profit and thought it was necessary to tell me how "making a profit" works. Also, raising your voice while standing over a seated customer does not make for a great sales approach. Mr. Emory - Your customers are your lifeline, don't treat them like children. Treating people this way not only insults the customer but hurts the people that you manage. A manager should be a mentor for his/her employees, not a roadblock for their success. I would be ashamed to have you on my payroll. More

Beware of this dealership! It is full of deceptive, dishonest, crooked people. Benson Ford in Easley, SC sold me a Lemon vehicle, but I did not know it was lemon until I went to trade the vehicle i dishonest, crooked people. Benson Ford in Easley, SC sold me a Lemon vehicle, but I did not know it was lemon until I went to trade the vehicle in at another dealership. I asked the dealership what can be done, but they don't care to resolve the issue (Smith/Crow). However I am looking into my legal options. Not only does Benson face a $5000 fine per SC law for not reporting this on the title when it was in their hands, they also violated the Deception Act. This was DEFINATLY not brought to my attention. Not only that, per the credit union, they shouldn't even have approved the loan, since the loan is for more than the vehicle is worth. That is another story and review (to come). So Benson sold me a vehicle whose equvilent would be worth $21K, but this vehicle is worth much less. It may be something I could accept if I got an awesome deal on, but essentially I am in the hole. The real issue is loan vs. the vehicle's value. Per Carfax, the vehicle is worth only $750 less because of the stamp. So a private party sale would be my only route. But this is not my first problem with the dealership. At the point of sale, I was told by the finance rep (Binot) that my check (down payment) would be held until a certain date. It was not. A secretary told me this was illegal, but all I know is what employees tell me will happen, not what the law is. I traded in a vehicle and did not want to do a down payment, but was pressured into giving one More

GM of dealership would not come and sit down with us to discuss problem we were having with the car. They even called the cops on us while they had us waiting in their dealership for the GM to come from a discuss problem we were having with the car. They even called the cops on us while they had us waiting in their dealership for the GM to come from a supposely meeting. They even threatened to have the car towed to our home if we left the car there while the GM was in a supposely meeting. The whole time we were at the dealaership the GM was across a side street at the Ford dealership. Needless to say, I will never shop at one of their dealership again. More
