Chapman Ford of Horsham

Misleading advertising, incompetent, unenthusiastic salesman I visited this dealership on a Saturday afternoon. I walked in and cooled my heels for a good ten minutes before an employee asked if someone was help I visited this dealership on a Saturday afternoon. I walked in and cooled my heels for a good ten minutes before an employee asked if someone was helping me. Answering "no", I was then introduced to a rather unenthusiastic salesman. I explained I had seen a new all wheel drive Ford Escape advertised for under $19K, and I was interested. I asked to take the vehicle for a test drive. So we walked out into their parking lot and eventually found a few Escapes. The salesman went back inside for keys. The keys didn't fit, so he went back a second time. Got an Escape unlocked and started out on a test drive. I started to drive off and noticed the fuel gauge said empty. When I pointed this out, I was directed to circle around the building back to the parking area. Another two tries and the salesman finally located a base Escape with enough gas to take a test drive around the block. I said I liked the car, and the salesman suggested that he "work up some numbers." So I sat in his office while he looked up various things on the computer. Not a word was exchanged. He got up and left the room, eventually returning with a piece of paper with $24,000 written on it. "What's this?" I asked "Your best price" he replied "The advertised Escape was thousands lower" I said "Oh, that has rebates on it that YOU won't qualify for." he replied. "Sorry, that's above my budget" I said. Then it got really odd. "Who sets the budget?" the salesman demanded. "I do, I replied." "Then you'll have to buy used." he smugly retorted "Thank you for coming in" he said and stood, implying that he was dismissing me. I would rather walk than buy a vehicle from this guy. He knew within the first two minutes that he could not sell me the vehicle I was asking for at the advertised price, and wasted over an hour of my time. More

Pricing and math are not their strength Drew in Sales was the best salesperson we worked with at the 6 dealerships we visited, absolutely second to none! Drew was helpful and did everything Drew in Sales was the best salesperson we worked with at the 6 dealerships we visited, absolutely second to none! Drew was helpful and did everything he could do despite his management's pricing strategy which is mysteriously lacking in basic math principles. Shockingly, the dealership's sales management would not negotiate over $400 on a vehicle which we had a $1000 dollar incentive we qualified for only to then accept the $1000 incentive and RAISE the price by $300. Simply put, the managers failed the efforts and professionalism of Drew. Ironically, the dealership dropped the price a week later to lower than what we asked for just 3 days before, and with no follow-up on the vehicle and which had been in their inventory for over 200 days. We feel awful for Drew, whose expertise and skills are undervalued by this dealership. More

phone appointment scheduling I called the dealership on Monday. As I was traveling, I asked that she schedule my appointment for Wednesday. The person who answered my service ca I called the dealership on Monday. As I was traveling, I asked that she schedule my appointment for Wednesday. The person who answered my service call, asked twice what year and make of car. Twice I responded it was a 2008 Chrysler Town & Country. Finally, at the end, she asked "and what would be a good time on Tuesday?". That was the first red flag that this phone person did not have both shoes on her feet. So we scheduled the appointment for "Wednesday" for my "Chrysler". Then I got an email confirmation from "Ford". My wife said "Ford?". Maybe I should call the dealership as maybe this was another red flag. I did not as it was the same dealership for both Chrysler and Ford. Upon arriving Wednesday at the dealership for my 10 am appointment, the Ford service bay said I needed to take my "Chrysler" to the Chrysler service building. Another red flag as they were separate. The Chrysler service bay said they did not have an appointment for me. Obviously the phone person made the service appointment for my Chrysler with the Ford service department. In summary, the person scheduling phone appointments for service, had a bad day. Hopefully others who schedule appointments are not handled so as to be scheduled for the correct service department. Be careful. And if you get an email saying you are scheduled for service for a vehicle which is not your make of vehicle, then best call Chapman and get it fixed. More

Never visit I went there to look at a keep that had rebate offers, granted I didn't qualify for all of them but they didn't mention them until I asked. Hours lat I went there to look at a keep that had rebate offers, granted I didn't qualify for all of them but they didn't mention them until I asked. Hours later of negotiating a price they weren't half way to their advertised price. They pressured me into signing several forms and said they wouldn't run my credit but that they would wait until they had verbal confirmation. I checked credit varna several days latter and saw they ran it without my permission. I called several times since trying to get ahold of John, Frank, or anyone above them to complain about this but they will not return my calls. This tells me they knew what they did was wrong and tried to pull something shady in order to get me to try and buy through them. Don't trust these people. More

Ripoff This place is a joke. I went in to look at a new arrival I saw on the website. I was told that since the car was not through their shop yet that I wou This place is a joke. I went in to look at a new arrival I saw on the website. I was told that since the car was not through their shop yet that I would be charged an extra $1700 for the shop bill. I'm sorry that's not something you tell a customer. After they tried to rip me off on my trade I had enough and politely said thanks for your time and walked away. As I'm leaving, I hear the sAles manager bad mouthing me because I figured out their scam. I would never recommend this dealership More

No contact I inquired via AT and CarGurus. Got automated response, and then a real one. I requested an OTD price, but have not heard back. I tried again through I inquired via AT and CarGurus. Got automated response, and then a real one. I requested an OTD price, but have not heard back. I tried again through web site, and they said the car MAY OR MAY NOT be there, so they'd contact me. Once again, no email or anything. I work in an environment that does not permit personal phone calls. This is 2017, learn how to use email instead of abuse it with your scripted communication. Also, what is the purpose of live chat if they do not know anything or broker that information to someone else for follow up? More

Terrible!! This is worst place you can go to buy a car. I wasted 5 days trying to buy a car from these people. Even the managers don't return phone calls. I wa This is worst place you can go to buy a car. I wasted 5 days trying to buy a car from these people. Even the managers don't return phone calls. I was treated terrible. The finance person raised his voice to me without a reason and told me I couldn't afford the car I wanted , wouldnt offer me any other car. He was extremely rude, arrogant and unprofessional. I was close to tears. (I am pregnant and emotional) but no one should treat potentional customers this way. They totally ruined my car buying experience. I went to Ciocca in Querkertown 45minutes farther from me and in 3 hours drove off with the Ford edge i wanted. They made me feel like family. So I can afford a car at another Ford dealer but I'm good enough for Chapman. More

New Purchase and Service. Recently bought a Ford F-150 at Fred Beans Doylestown, and was unhappy with the process of buying a vehicle from them. Came to Chapman Ford with my fa Recently bought a Ford F-150 at Fred Beans Doylestown, and was unhappy with the process of buying a vehicle from them. Came to Chapman Ford with my father to assist him in purchasing a new F150. Found a truck online and met with salesman Fred Bell. Fred was very professional and took whatever time needed to go over the vehicle. We gave them a monthly payment we did not want to exceed and with very little negotiation they came to that number. Very please with the salesman Fred Bell and Chapman Ford. In addition I needed an oil change in my new truck. Without an appointment the service department (Joe Kerwick) was able to get my vehicle in for service while we purchased another new truck! Thank you! More

Horrible customer service This place is ridiculous. I had made an appointment with Jenine Mauro to look at a car that I was interested in. Had allowed them to run the credit re This place is ridiculous. I had made an appointment with Jenine Mauro to look at a car that I was interested in. Had allowed them to run the credit report and got pre-approved before the appointment. Showed up and Jenine wasn't even working. Edward picked us up and went to look for the car. A half hour later, he informed us that the car had been sold 2 days earlier. No notice, phone call, email...nothing. Nothing but a complete waste of my time. Don't waste yours! I sent Jenine an email about what happened-she had sent me 15 emails the days leading up to the appointment day and not surprisingly, I never heard back from her. Guess they don't care about wasting your time or apologizing for their mistakes either. Bad, bad, bad all around. More
