Description of the problem | I bought this car because i was told it was the best buy for my money and seeing i am a single mom i needed a dependable car and this has turned out to be the car of my nightmares. The dealership i bought it from was dishonest all the way down the road know that i had little money to pay for a car let alone to keep taking it in for repairs. I asked northgate ford to help me out on buying a car because i have not done this on my own before and to keep in mind the fact that i could be one of there sisters and really need them to help me to buy a car that wasn't gonna have a bunch of troubles. They agreed with helping me out and come to find out i have never been so screwed in my life. My goal is to buy a brand new car in 5 years or so and i will still buy ford but it won't be through northgate ford. I think northgate must have forgotten the rule of thumb "one unsatisfied person tells 10". No safety defec tmentioned. *ak |
