I will most likely cancel my reservation, I refuse to pay MSRP + ADM at Koon’s Ford

[FordLightning]

I was just going to mention the PT. People were paying like 5k over sticker and they were happy to do so to be the first ones in the car.

I really cant feel bad for you. You want to be the first to have a truck of this kind. That comes at a cost. Add on the "pandemic pricing" to this mess. People are paying thousands over sticker for a Kia SUV. I would feel lucky to only pay $500 over sticker if I was chomping at the bit for the newest of the new. You mention about dropping $60k for a used BMW so I dont think money is an issue.

The $500 is $8.33 month on a 5 year loan.

You make a great point, this isn’t much money. For some reason no one has transferred $500 to me yet. Please PM me and I’ll provide my address to send the check. Thanks again for your support. If a few people send me 8.33 a month this will all go away.

I think you misunderstand the situation. The original dealer didn’t tell me I couldn’t switch, this is done through Ford and is easy enough. The dealer I wanted to transfer the reservation to said they were not allowed to accept anymore reservations.

Did Ford tell you that they would not reassign your reservation to this dealership?

Dealers didn't 'accept' reservations. Ford assigned your reservation to a dealership based on your selection and then forwarded your contact info to that dealer.

I highly doubt this will all go away

Everyone else is speculating…prove me wrong. Move your reservation to (Saturday forward) Chapman and see if you get a 2022 model year. I’ve given the naysayers all weekend to make the switch. Put up or shut up.

OK, you seem to be ignoring facts. I created this thread to confirm the concerns raised in another thread about allocation impacting the ability to move orders. I had a well regarded dealer on this forum inform me they were not allowed to accept additional reservations “per Ford”. I provided names and details. For $500 I will send you the email. ;-)

I also asserted at least 3 local dealers in my market were not willing to confirm terms verbally or in writing (fact), and that Koon’s Ford in Annapolis was committed to adding a $500 fee above MSRP at a minimum (fact).

Candidly, this info isn’t for you…you seem dumb as a rock. I am just trying to help the community.

I’m assuming you are unemployed or underworked to be so active in responding to my thread. Either way, you have not provided any additional value. Everything you shared that was factual was already known.

I thought about stooping to your level and go to personal attacks--but thought better of it. I think the other members can read the various threads you've decided to pollute with complaints and supposition and draw their own conclusions.

As for helping the community-- whining, moaning, and complaining about not getting what you want isn't helping the community.

The fact is one of us is freaking out over rumors, and things he believes to be true because he was told by ONE dealer. That hasn't been confirmed by Ford or other dealers on here--and quite frankly doesn't even make sense.

Before you call someone else dumb, I suggest you learn about how reservations work and how orders work and then come back to us...

Just because they told you that doesn't mean its true. Maybe they heard you complaining and figured you were too much of a PITA to deal with...

I'm not going to go to Pennsylvania or wherever to get a truck when there's over a dozen dealerships within 50 miles of my home.

So unemployed or underworked statement is true? I hope this isn’t some teenager. I never spoke to them, response was from first email

You don't know anything about me.

Its comical you obviously spent considerable time complaining about everything and yet you judge others based on how much time they spend to respond.

Also..did it even occur to you some people might be retired, or work nights?

Oh wait..no it didn't.

Go kick rocks or whine somewhere else. Its getting annoying...

So wait a minute...you received an email response. The dealer didn't even bother to talk to you personally..and NOW you assume everything they tell you is true?

Wow.

In writing is always better than verbal. I’m not sure you would understand….again thanks for supporting this thread.

I understand when someone is actually answering my question truthfully and when someone is blowing me off with an email.

Dealers are realizing people aren't going to put up with their BS and are switching dealers. Your original dealer flat out lied to you about not being able to transfer to try and retain your business and take ADM from you.

I believe nothing a dealership tells me at this point. They exist in this situation to take money they haven't earned (they didn't get these sales, Ford did).

This 100%. Except for Chapman-- they are on the up and up from what I hear.
