not my uncle, my father, i worked over the summer and that was it.

Oh, ok. I remember talking to you when I was a lowly service porter. I'm guessing you got rid of that 94/95 that you had prepped to turbo?

Roll Tide...go with Skip.

Are you the Steve that sold at Five Star for a little bit that quit to take care of his uncle or something like that? I'm just trying to make a mental connection.

not my uncle, my father, i worked over the summer as dfwstangs rep for 5star and that was it. oh and i called tim rich a self centered prick once. thats why when i worked in the service dept there i got canned as soon as he remembered who i was

He is Futurama. Used to work at five star. Don't know what position, or why he left, but he did work at five star for quite a while I believe.

And to take the whole 'tire kicker, phone caller' thing a little further -
When I catch my people price shopping me, I cut them off. Period. End of story. No explanation taken. I'm not here to be price shopped. I sell a premium product at a premium price. That's what I do. If you are calling me to farm my numbers out, you're a competitor and will be treated as such. And it will become my mission to fuck you ten ways from Sunday. I WILL put you out of business, with no mercy, and a smile on my face the whole time. I've done it a ton. But I'm not your typical saleman, either. I have the ability to tell you to eat a dick and die, and my bosses will back me up on it. I'm in a rather fortunate situation though.

I called my old salesman in Ennis and when I told him what Skip had told me, he gave me the old "they are just telling you that to come it. They won't give you "this" or "that" and it will end up costing you more".....

I'll just see what's out there. I don't "have" to have a new truck, I just want one. I can walk away if need be...

I make a damn good salary and have outstanding credit. I'm going to make it work for me this time and not give in to a "want"....

First, let me say that I'm in sales. Not vehicle sales, but I'm still in a sales position.


You listened to all that horseshit, and it never once crossed your mind that your 'normal sales guy' might a- be jealous, b- is telling you that to keep from losing your loyalty or c- is hurting for cash?


It's your decision to make. Only you know what you want, and only you know what is acceptable.


But you'd be ignorant to not go up there and hear the guy out. Especially when there are thousands of dollars on the line. And especially given the distance from FTW to Ennis.

Sales is a competitive business. I wouldn't put it past 99.9% of sales guys to tell you exactly what your 'normal guy' told you. The car business has changed. It's hard to find exactly what you want these days. But Skip will come close as possible, with the best deal he can work. I know this for fact. You never know. He could get you in a truck more loaded up for less money than you were looking to spend. You can't blame him for asking you to come in. Tire kickers over the phone are a dime a dozen, and can't be given straight forward answers. It just doesn't work that way.

[jdgregory84]

LOL, you believe that? What he's really saying is that he can't touch the deal that Skip is offering. Based off the replies in this thread, doesn't sound to me like he's the bait and switch type.

This. If the Ennis salesman was serious about wanting to give YOU (the OP) the best deal possible...he would've called you back by the end of the night with a better offer that he worked out with his managers.

I've known Skip professionally for a while now, and he is probably one out of maybe 3 or 4 salesman that I've ever known that is a no bullshit kinda guy. He won't tell you something that isn't true whether you want to hear it or not. Sometimes he can come off as an ass for that, but being a cop, I'm sure that's something that you can appreciate.

The 2010's are great trucks and if you have any mechanical questions on them I'll be more than happy to share my experiences with them from writing service.

I've heard good things about Skip, but I've bought a F250 Powerstroke, 2 Expeditions, an Excursion, Mustang and Edge from Ennis Ford in the past. I guess it will come down to who can give me what I want for a fair price.

They will beat everyone else's price. Go see them-they're assholes, but they work a mean deal.

Another vote for Grapevine Ford

I just bought a 2011 F150 with the 5.0 two days ago from Skip and Reid! They had the best price on the truck I wanted, so we made the two hour drive from Winnsboro to buy from them!

On a side note, drive a new 5.0 and you will want one. I also own a 2010 F150 supercrew with the 5.4 that has custom exhaust and an Edge CS programmer on it and it is not even close to putting out the same power the new 5.0 has!!

Another vote for Skippy, we've bought like 6 or 7 vehicles from him since 2003, can't beat his prices.
