Can the dealer refuse to sell ?

[jmc6020]

Remember this [OLD] thread was filled with speculation & fear of what dealers were going to do or not do while we were waiting for first ordering and builds to be scheduled, ADM was in the air and many buyers were on the fence about what they would do when confronted with outrageous markups.

It became clear to me after listening to Tim @FordVideoGuy weekly seminars, that the MoCo has special order compliance process to penalize dealers playing games, if they didn't close the sale with the original order maker, the dealers would be suspected of souring a sale with original customers in pursuit of highest ADM's from the people with money to waste. The penalty could be lost allocations!

That knowledge helped me quell my own fears about how my dealer was going to treat me on delivery day, as it turned out [TASCA FORD] did me good all around.

Now that the tide has turned, no ADM's and the MoCo and well as dealers compelled to move inventory off the lots it's once again a buyers market.

Like you say I was thinking it was a buyer's market but when I was in Herb Chambers Ford yesterday ready to but they were super stubborn with a low ball trade-in offer for my 22 Lariat SR of $33k. They let me walk out twice so apparently they don't feel the urge to move vehicles.

Yes I'm looking to trade up to ER.

KBB is 50K-55K. I have an online offer of $48K, another Ford dealer that has nothing on the lot to sell me offering $50K and a Chevy dealer offering $58K but still this dealer that has the truck I want refuses to go above $33K.
