A different kind of dealer?????
Just to let the public know where Freedom Ford in Hampton stand with its employees. An employee at Freedom wanted to buy a car, the orgional salesman was going to charge him $1500.00 more than he was supposed to. He then went with his origional salesman who was pretty pissed that we were trying to screw an employee, after working on purchasing the car he was goin to put $2000.00 down on the car. The saturday he came in to put the money down they sold the car from under him, they said they were going to hold it till monday. After that bullshit he went to the GM who didnt give a damn and said there will be another deal like that. The real screwed up part is the car was $13000.00 online when it wasnt supposed to be online, they were charging an employee $13500.00 and sold it to the customer for $15950.00 sounds like they ripped him one too.
Is this the kind of place you would want to buy a car?
Im an employee there and im going to Hall or Bowditch.

Just to play devil's advocate how was the "employee's" credit? If the car was being sold through a second chance finance company the dealership gives a percentage (sometimes as much as 20%) in fees. So to compensate for the lost money they jack up the price. That is why anytime you ask a salesperson for a car price they ask you if you are paying cash or financing.

Thats a steal for that car, the private party KBB is around 17,500, and the est dealer is 19,xxx... WRXs actually hold their value very well, that's why I bought an low mileage 04 instead of an 02-03. The price difference is small enough that it wasn't worth getting an earlier one..

Damn that WRX was advertised for only 13,000. Definitely a deal. Even the guy that paid 16,000 was probably happy with the deal he got.
