Adrian Castaneda sent a message to Mark Fields - President and Chief Executive Officer of Ford Motor Company email address that said:
Hello, my name is Adrian Castaneda, 19 years old.
Im messaging you for a small but important reason. I went into a Ford dealership looking at the new Ford focus RS with more than a 10% down payment. The gentleman there were nice and quick to respond but they kept degrading me due to my age. They were showing me basic models of the focus, something I didnt wanna see, and were telling me that I would never be able to afford the RS because of my age. I told the salesman that I can afford the car and even prove income. I was willing to give the salesman almost 10k down but said it wouldnt be enough to put me in the car of my dreams. I felt embarrassed and upset because of what had happened.
Now i dont know what to do in a situation like this. Ive been working hard as a young entrepreneur for that car and to just get turned down within 45 minutes is just wrong.
If theres anything you or anyone can do to help me out with this, I would appreciate.
Thank you
