I decided never to do business with Bill Pierre Ford when I stopped in one day to buy a starter bolt for my old 302. I was on my motorcycle, and after getting directions to the parts department, decided to stop next to a Bullitt for a second to look at the window sticker. I had a salesman run after me to get me to take a closer look at the car. Literally. As I pulled away I looked back and he was yelling and running down the hill towards me, yelling for me to come back and take a test drive. That, combined with a really slimey "sales manager" at Bill Pierre Dodge when I was considering the purchase of a Dakota a couple years ago, has turned me off completely from anything to do with Bill Pierre.
Haven't decided which other Puget Sound dealer to go with yet, but I still have time to find the right one. The 18" fanblades aren't available yet, so I can shop around for the right dealer before I put my order in.
