Yeah, along with the ADM, ~$200 to put Nitrogen in the tires…along with the other BS add-ons………..

Is this anyone here? I hope not. @Ford Motor Company

VIN is 1ft6w1evxnwg03027
Dealer is Westway Ford in Irving, TX.

That's only $125/month extra on a 20-year loan!

I'm prepared to walk if the dealer marks up my truck. I'm not going to make a stink about it (aside from bitching about it here lol). I'm a free market guy, the dealer should be able to sell it for whatever they can get for it. Yeah, I signed an order sheet but, as we all know, it's non-binding. I could walk away without repercussion.

How are we supposed to help?

 

[F150ROD]

Oh, didn’t realize this was posted already. Mods can you merge my thread over this way?

As far as helping, I guess if we tag @Ford Motor Company they could probably escalate?

There is a distinction between a retail order and a stock order. The customer should be able to purchase the vehicle at the price that was agreed upon at the time of order.

There is no change in marginal cost for the dealer between the time of order and delivery that would justify this markup. The dealer needs to shut down if it can't make ends meet without gouging customers like this.

The free market argument doesn't really work for dealerships as they're protected by such restrictive sales laws.

I hate it when the free market works only in the dealers favor…… for example, if all of a sudden Ford dropped the MSRP by a couple of thousands the dealer would hold you to this non-binding order sheet

For a dealer to mark up an ordered vehicle for doing almost nothing - I would be fuming.

I'd be hollering all around the world on this one!

Question: did the original order show the ADM ?

That is the funniest scam I have heard of.

Nitrogen fill tires !

Did we all forget we breathe 80% nitrogen with every breath ?

I put down a deposit for a product at a set price. I signed a paper that stated that price and we shook hands. In any other industry that is that. This is not some deal that they are putting any effort into. I reserved, I ordered, then notified them to accept my order. I secured my own financing, in CA we can do an entire vehicle transfer online. I can print off a checklist of things to check before I sign off as accepted. I can pull plastic off the seats and fill a bucket full of soap and water. I may be over simplifying it but I do not think it is far off. The dealer makes over $9k for doing this on a platinum at msrp! Then they want to ad markup. They actually slow down and complicate the process. Free market would mean ford could sell direct to me without the dealer. If you want to get into free market, that Is a free market. Ford can bypass the dealer. Wait, they have a deal ahead of time with the dealerships they can not change? Kind of like I have? Forget the free market argument. As a first responder, the next call where someone is in immediate need, I will negotiate a price for service before i assist. One call and I will be set for life!

As long as the dealer signed that paper, it sounds like you have a contract.

It is actually in my safe deposit box!
That piece of paper may be worth $30k.
