On 12/19/2022, I had a sales offer in writing from Bob Thomas Ford in Hamden, CT. It included a $1000 trade in assistance, and I was offered $12,500 for my car. Again, this was in writing and came from the sales manager. When I called the following day to consummate the sale, the manager told me he had erred on the trade-in-allowance blaming his general manager who stated he was paying too much for my trade. They reduced it by $500. In addition, he stated his trade-in assistance of $1,000 was no longer available. The attempted to sell me the car for over $2,000 over what was in writing 24 hours earlier. I then contacted the General Manager, Colby Pinette who stated because I had not given them a check, the dealership was not responsible. Having worked for the Judicial branch of government for fourteen years, I will open a case with the State Attorney's Office tomorrow. In addition, I am seeking the counsel of an attorney to see if litigation is an option. I am also going to do some research on Ford and who is responsible for its franchisors to tell them how I was treated. I have just given you the facts. You must determine for yourselves whether or not you wish to patronize this Hamden store
