Yea, they'll put it away for "security" purposes. Then the guy with the key is with another customer, at lunch, etc.


Bought my new Ford f150 a week ago. First dealer, Planet Ford in Spring, we went to tried this tactic. Gave him keys to truck I was trading, and after he came back, we were waiting on the internet guy, I asked the guy for my keys back and he said that he was going to give them to the internet guy. I told him he didn't need them and I'd like my keys back. He said it was their policy. I told him it was my policy not to buy a truck from someone that wouldn't give me my key back. He gave it back. This helped because we walked out on them after getting fed up with them and the way they treated us.

Ended up going 10 min down the road and buying the truck from Lone Star Ford, and got a GREAT deal!

I think I asked you in a different thread but not sure if you saw it. Mind divulging what you paid and how you went about getting the deal that you did?

I'm in the market here soon for a 4x4 supercrew lariat and any advice in the purchase process would be appreciated.
