List: F-150 Lightning dealers that do / don't apply ADM (price markup)

[Rxhevntt]

Autonation Ford Margate, FL. My reservation is super late, but I wanted to get clarity now for whenever for my order becomes available or switch dealers.

In addition to zero responses to my multiple emails, I finally called and was left holding for 15 mins before someone came on the phone and swore Ford does not even have pricing yet ?

TL;DR $7000 markup on F 150 Lightning.

UPDATE: Finally got clarity from Autonation Margate. Verbatim from salesperson: $7000 ADM and you should feel lucky because other dealers are charging $10000.

Needless to say, I didn’t feel so lucky. I am a first time Ford shopper, truck shopper, and EV shopper. Thankfully for Ford, one call to Mullinax Ford per this forum and they happily sent me an email confirming MSRP less any incentives. Switched reservation. Otherwise I would have put Ford on my personal brand black list—I choose not to reward companies that are adversarial towards their customer with my hard-earned dollars.

Thank you everyone for this forum.

I'm not so sure that counts for all FL Mullinax dealers?
I visited Mullinax Ford of Apopka, FL today and salesman, Dennis McClung proudly told me all Lightnings there will be sold +ADM. He said they're considered as rare as Raptors and their allotment was 6 trucks this year and they all went to their best corporate and commercial customers.
I was so disgusted I left without asking how much ADM.

Sorry you had that experience. Honestly, what a **** show. I doubt ill even get an invite before 2024, but whatever.

This whole supply chain mess is absurd. I don’t fully understand how the whole world managed to get this far behind—not sure I’ll ever get it.

FWIW, it’s Mullinax in WPB I switched to.

Though I haven't completed the purchase yet (build date 7/4/22), Romano Ford in Fayetteville, NY has been adamant with me about the fact that they DO NOT charge ADM on customer orders. I have no info on whether or not they would on dealer stock. I'll confirm here once I finalize the purchase but I'm optimistic.

I definitely think we will have to keep an eye on this. It seems like the dealers are each wavering back and forth.

I had an incredibly positive experience with Karl Flammer Ford in Tarpon Springs, Florida. No ADM from them. Straightforward pricing, and even sent a signed price sheet in advance to confirm the pricing. Awesome!

But, I don't know how to categorize them on the list. While I did not get charged ADM, they seemed to hint that they may be switching to add ADM for future orders. So, a friendly FYI, don't assume that because the dealer didn't charge ADM in the past means they won't for the next wave of orders.

An Electric Car Finally Makes Financial Sense
CNN Business, Wed June 8, 2022

https://www.cnn.com/2022/06/08/business/electric-vehicle-save-money/index.html


"While lots of cars these days are going for over sticker price, electric cars are being marked up, on average, twice as much as gas-powered ones, according to Edmunds.com. While internal combustion-powered cars are selling for, on average, 1.4% above MSRP, electric vehicles are getting marked up an average of 3.4%."

A 3.4% ADM on an $80,000 Lariat would currently be $2,720.00. So, finding, and locking in, a ZERO ADM will become much harder in the future.

If you find one it makes sense to legally lock them in with a Counter-Signed Purchase Agreement ASAP. TRUST BUT VERIFY

@TaxmanHog Unfortunately, I don't have any updates. My status is still awaiting a production date. I haven't done that crazy backdoor search for a my VIN # in a while either. The other day my Mustang was at the dealer getting service, so I went over and talked to my sales rep (owners son). I wanted to know if they planned to add an ADM. Thankfully they are not. If they did the deal would have been dead for me. I also wanted to know what my priority # was. It was in the mid 90's but he did say that it can fluctuate wildly. Their mannequin unit (Pro model) has shipped but he doesn't have an ETA. Lastly, he said they have several deposits for the Lightnings at the dealership, but my reservation was the only one that has been selected and had an order placed.

I deal with galpin ford, sun valley CA
I haven't got my reservation convert to order yet but base on several email, they told me repeatedly they will honor MSRP with zero adm on order lightning maverick and mach e.

Slight Correction for us here at Serramonte Ford:

Since Lightning is not X-Plan eligible, we will not be honoring it. MSRP for Orders
