These two gentlemen were very respectful and met my required purchase terms: I saved some money, and the dealership made some money – a great win/win. I test drove the car on Wednesday December 28 and negotiated the deal with Mike and Richard LaFaye (Sales Manager) the same day.
I called Mike Mohr (Internet Sales Manager) the same day, and he was very responsive from the very beginning. I recently completed a purchase at Bates Ford on Friday Decemwith the discussions beginning on Tuesday December 27 after I saw the pre-owned car on ebay. If you buy a car from them, take to your own mechanic first. Never have I had issues like this buying a car from somewhere. I will never buy a car from this place again. I can see where it was taped and such for painting, and that was never mentioned. This is on top of the obvious repairs that have been done, tha I discovered months after I bought the car whenI cleaned it up the following spring. The hub bearing are worn thru and the whole hub has to be replaced on the right rear. now last night as I hit the brakes, I had a grinding sound when I hit the brakes and the warning lights came on again. This went on for a while, I had to add fluid, etc, and they went off. Now, just over a year that I have had the vehicle, I start having issues with the ABS and anti-skid warning lights that came on repeatedly. And nothign but disdain when I called the dealership about it. They would have seen how low those rotors were. The brake pads were brand new, so essentially they had band-aided the problem with new brake pads in an effort to just get the car off the lot. And that had began only a mere 5 months after my purchase.Īt Firestone they found that all 4 rotors needed replaced due to warping, because they were all had been turned so much that they were below spec and could not be taken down anymore. At this point being dis-satisfied with response fomr them, I took the car to Firestone aftere expoeriencing thsi problem for 3 months. I could never get a call back from my salesman for a couple questions I had, and an issue I was having. They pulled soe strings and got me a decent rate, etc.Īfter I left is when the problems started. Nice and clean, in decent repair, and rode nice. not sure what that was about, but since I just had a car break down I was without much choice and I liked the 2007 Ford Edge they showed me. It’s a testament to the culture Zac Taylor built during his program turnover and the leaders still in the locker room that former Bengals from this offseason and beyond sign off on it when would-be signees reach out.Īnd indeed, it also says a lot about Perine and Bates, two guys who didn’t want to leave but made tough life choices based on the unruly waters of the open market.įor fans, it’s nice to know the perception of signing with Cincinnati has changed and likely won’t falter for a long time.First, for some reason I was only limited to a certain vehicle or 2 that I qualified for.
When the reviews matched up with the willingness of the Bengals to give him a shot at his position of choice at right tackle, he had a deal. He checked in with fellow former Bills guard Quinton Spain, a Bengal in 2020-21, as well as Andrew Brown, a Bengal from 2018-20 whom he ran across when they were in Arizona last season. They definitely gave good reviews,” said Ford, whose 32 NFL starts have come at both tackle and guard in primarily back-up roles. Respectful things even after they had already parted ways. Geoff Hobson of captured Ford’s feeling-out period before signing, which included those named above and a few other former Bengals: The other was Jessie Bates, who inked the historic deal with the Falcons. One was Samaje Perine, who just signed with the Carolina Panthers. Two major outgoing Bengals who just signed with other teams told Ford how great Cincinnati was. The Cincinnati Bengals signed Cody Ford to play right tackle and it turns out it wouldn’t have happened without some notable endorsements.
