Literally nowhere did I defend the dealer or their practices. I’m simply stating that you have no legal claim to the vehicle just because you placed a reservation with Ford. Getting an attorney involved (which is what I originally quoted) would do nothing.I'll never understand why people support all these shady dealer practices. Get a dealer that will honor their word. Signed orders, extra deposits, all that stuff only encourages the status quo and rewards bad dealers.
When I reserve something, it's the agreement. Making changes to that after the fact shouldn't be acceptable for any industry but somehow we've come to accept it with vehicles. Let's just agree to stop that. There's no need to ask if someone has a signed document or put in a deposit, they reserved a vehicle at a price and now a dealer is changing the deal out from under them. If they have a build sheet, an email with a price agreement, or window sticker with the price, that's all they should need.
(I understand this may not be the case here, there's a lot of unreliable narrators in this particular story. These waters are quite muddy. Is there an issue, is there a dealer shill, no idea.)
