Bob utter Ford auto dealership in sherman, tx tried to sell us a car that the odometer reading didn't match the carfax or its own registration sticker on the windshield. When we returned the vehicle they became verbally confrontational to us. We requested the paperwork they had made us sign to take the vehicle home for an overnight test drive. It had our personal identification information on it that we did not want to leave in their hands. They began stalling tactics and then verbally ordered us off their property.
