Train ride to SoCal

Best to visit the dealership, take a look at their new cars on the lot and see if there are additional junk added on.

Not too reliable.

Most dealers around me have no markup if you order directly from ford. But once a car is rejected and is their stock, then they add markup.

Yes, my Lightning dealer was $0 ADM and $0 junk accessories.

Almost all dealers will mark up (ADM) a customer abandoned vehicle - that's to be expected.

I am currently trying to get a 2022 MME off a dealer lot because my MME order is going to be forced into a 2023 with a different trim, options, pricing, no incentives, and discontinued color.

What I was referring to earlier was some dealers who add on accessories / junk / fluff / protection packages and then charge 10x - 100x the value.

Then there are unscrupulous & greedy dealers that will do BOTH ADM + junk add ons.

I saw my first in the wild yesterday. I'm at red light and there's a white truck in front of me, green light oh wait that truck looks new. I kinda recognize the tail light but not sure, then look underneath and bam that's a Lightning with this big ass control arms. We both turn left at next light I try to speed up but he punched it to get around a car next to him to get the freeway on ramp. That's all I saw was the back of a Pro lightning.

I've had mine for ~10 days and have about 600 miles. LOVING it. Not get much attention though. Other than us here on this forum it seems like everyone else is oblivious. Ive seen one other out in the wild.

I was at El cajon Ford down here in San Diego. They seem to have a checkered reputation but I had bought my 2012 F350 from them with a good experience. They were pretty hands off in the build/delivery process which was not to my liking. In the end though they didnt arm wrestle me into any add ons and I ended up getting the truck at MSRP with nothing added. I think looking back, Im good with that. steve

I'm headed to fully Charged EV event in San Diego and a Lightning passes me doing 80 on the 5 fwy south just before Del Mar race track. I was checking my left rear view and bam a big ass light bar, no mistaking that. Then like 10 minutes later a Rivian. We all got off and went to the fully charged EV event. Me in my prius

It was cool to see all the EV's in one place, there was a Lightning there. The Fisker was really nice.
The test drive was cool.
I saw Damuro there.

I did a mock panel inspection on the lightning. I found that the frunk hood was out of alignment along with the passenger side doors were not aligned.
Found out this lightning belongs to

Looks good to me
