Yes but when the customer "takes advantage" Ford and the dealer still profit on the car they're selling, while when Ford and the dealers "take advantage", the customer has to pay that much more on top of the car they were already going to pay. That's not equal footing. Let's not pretend this is anything more than a move to allow for dealers to mark this car up as much as they can get away with.Here's another perfect example of people thinking it's OK for the customer to take advantage, but when the dealer or Ford does it, people start calling them slimy. It works both ways.
I'm also not really sympathetic to the argument that all of us signing up for this program were inappropriately taking advantage of Ford's "generosity" in offering this program (which, again, still allows them to make a profit on these cars). We are not entitled to Ford giving us a discount, but Ford also doesn't have to offer such a program in the first place. It's not asking too much of Ford to honor a program that is supposed to be a perk for stockholders (i.e., the actual owners of Ford) and members of Ford enthusiasts group, and which they indicated would be available for this car for the past several months.
