A few months ago Downtown Ford sent what seemed to be thousands of scratch-off pieces to several thousand residents of Sacramento. I received mine and I scratched it off, with it stating I won the top prize of a $2,000 online gift certificate. I thought to myself "yeah right" but kept it in the dresser just in case. Later that night on the local news, one of the investigative reporters reported that Downtown Ford had these game pieces sent by a third party company, and that all the pieces sent were winners. It was concluded that the online items required the user to pay for shipping online, but that was often much more than the item would cost in the store. In the end, it was stated that Downtown Ford used this scheme only to try to get people onto their lots. Do not ever, ever buy from this deceptive dealership.
