Unfortunately true. I feel sorry for anyone not on B6G. The local dealer won't mind losing one or two informed purchasers as long as they can take advantage of 100 others.
I hate that for you, but I'm glad you've got good folks like Granger ready to take care of ya! Which Flordia dealership was it? I'm in Tallahassee where the local 'ship has been alright so far. Quiet but informative and responsive when I do contact them.
I'm in the same neck of the woods and I too will be heading to Iowa....Allegiant flights directly to Des Moines are very reasonable out of our neck of the woods. Going to turn it into a nice family vacation.
This is why dealerships get such a bad rap and why I dread buying a car from them. Fortunately, you can find good ones (although they are few and far between). Once you switch to Granger and talk with Albert, you will have a huge weight off your back.
I was talking about the difference in pricing and processing fees in a discord I'm in and had a friend who also reserved messaged me privately. His dealership is only doing MSRP and told him "An offer under invoice doesn't make sense". I sent him a couple of different threads in here and now he's changing his dealership. Glad I found this community because my local dealer is doing MSRP and an $899 processing fee!
Another KY guy here, where you moving to?
Where are you located? You description only says Florida.He wanted me to come in next week so they could place my order also.
I too have a res at Brandon. I have been dealing with Tommy Shelley for quite a few years. Straight up guy. But Brandon is on the edge about releasing info. They are waiting for the official notification from Ford about what they can do for pricing. So far I heard MSRP. I'm okay with that based on travel/etc, but not going over MSRP.
That sucks because I was going to change my reservation to there. Mine is currently with Bill Collins and I can't get any info from them. I've emailed a few times and spoke with someone once who was supposed to relay my questions to someone who would know. I've never received a call/email/text about my questions after that.
