Default Balise Ford of Caoe Cod

Have any of you Cape Codders ever dealt with Balise Ford in Hyannis? If so, good, bad or ? My daughter is interested in a truck listed by them at Kelly Blue Book. Figured I'd ask the locals for opinions before making the 6+ hour round trip.

Thanks.

Haven't dealt with them.

Last truck I bought was through Rodman ford in foxboro. They drove the truck down from Maine.

If you know of a good dealer close by, see if you can buy that truck through them. Not sure if they will do it for used...

Good luck!

Thanks RKC. We ended up taking the trip today only to find that they'd sold the truck before we got there. Nice to see the Cape again...and we especially enjoyed the 1.5 hour ride from Quincy to the 93 bridge during rush hour!

Don't know if they are associated but there is a Balaise Chevy in Mass and as far as I could tell from dealing with them .... Run, Run, Run Away.....

But that's just my opinion.

Nice of them to tell you before you made the trip. I think Monkey Butler is right on the money... You're a lucky man to have avoided them.

Thanks gents. We got 2 different stories from 2 different sales people we talked to there. One said it had been sold the day before, the other said it had been sold that morning. That, along with what Monkey Butler and Destroyer said has convinced us to avoid them in the future.

We're looking for a deal on a late model F250 4x4 diesel for my son in law, who is currently serving with the Marines in Afghanistan. If anyone in the North East knows of any for sale we'd appreciate a heads-up.
