HellionXR6T I'm Back!! Thats right, long over due! :) Lifetime Members 4,348 Member For: 22y 2m 5d Gender: Male Location: West Brisbane Posted 23/01/03 11:22 PM Share Posted 23/01/03 11:22 PM Just look for the big smile and the turbo badge on the back ed!! I am in the Chermside area - just in case you may catch a glimpse. I am guessing you are on the southside seeing as though you are dealing with BB Ford (if I remember correctly).How do you guys sleep when it gets closer and closer? I am having troubles now - just a big kid I guess. Chermside hey. Hmmm, cool. Well I was in that area quite a lot in the past few years, been a Northsider ever since I moved to Queensland back in `87. (Showing my age here...lol).Well I'm an East sider now, just over the Gateway bridge now, new estate. "Bayview Park", Hemmant.If I'm around the Chermside area, I'll definatley look out for a Citric Acid Ute.Bryan Byrt Ford, yep. I whinge just a wee bit but realistically, they are great to deal with. Ben Ruxton is probably the ONLY car salesman I would give the time of day to. BBF is the only Ford Dealorship I'd ever do business with. They really looked after us with the AU VCT and now, well, Lets just say, it's not their fault the first BA was not exactly matching what we ordered but they did come to the party offering a couple of freebies. Who are you going through? Not BF I hope?Past experience - Byrne Ford (Northside - Chermside/Kedron), Hmmmm, never again in a million years. They lost my custom when we had the ED XR6 in `99. W**nkers!!! "Long story". To cut it short. Sales side of the business, not bad, service? What service!!! I remember they tried to charge me something stupid like $180.00 for labour for changing swelled radiator hoses and windscreen wiper blades. (that I didn't ask them to do), well guess who went rank and refused to pay the bill...lol. Idiots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F6 RAPID Formerly Turbo6 Donating Members 2,332 Member For: 22y 1d Location: North Brisbane Posted 23/01/03 11:48 PM Author Share Posted 23/01/03 11:48 PM I totally agree with your sentiments on BF. Everyone will get a laugh out of this....I went into this particular dealership to look at the XR8 that had turned up and a certain salesman (this only happened a few weeks ago) I got talking to - as they do. I didn't tell him I was dealing with someone else (ed- Metro. I know a guy there but that's another story) and we got onto the turbo, as you also do. This loser (I mean that) then informed me how fast the turbo's were as in they did 90kms/hr in first gear and he assured me it was a MANUAL! Not showing any surprise, I casually asked what it was revving to when he was doing this and he answered "around 7500rpm". I said really, and then promptly informed him that that in fact would be impossible and told him all the reasons why.I'm sorry, I cannot stand salespeople who have no passion or knowledge about what they are in fact selling. So ed, I concur, I will NEVER buy a car off BF.The main reason I ended up with Metro was I know the salesman and has been there a very long time. He knows what an absolutely picky bastard I am - and I have his undertaking that he will be in the passenger seat when my car is driven on the pre-delivery drive. The last thing I want is for my brand new turbo to be thrashed by a mechanic for joy because "he can".I have witnessed with my own eyes some mechanics in pre-delivery drives (and you can tell they are pre-delivery - its the dealer plate giveaway) doing things to brand new cars that would make your eyes water!Has anyone else seen this?? I don't mean to put the sh*ts up everyone, sorry! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dude,That's another reason why BBF is the dealorship for us. :D They do have great sales staff.At least 3 to 4 of the salespersons I have encountered there are very passionate and excited about the whole BA range. I was also suprized that some of the staff knew about our situation even though I have never spoken to them before in my life. They take the time to talk to you and ask you how everything is going. Excellent PR. Hey, I should keep this free plug for BBF going and ask for a discount...lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
