Anyone interested in getting together for a New England purchase at a single dealer?

[Six Miles South]

I reserved with McGovern Ford in Lowell MA back in July. Just got an email stating that they will probably have ADM and X plan if allowed. I will probably switch to a dealer with no ADM

Come on over Randy to Acton -- No AMD and will honor X plan. Not too terrible a drive from Lowell. And if you find someone else that you want to work with, let the group here know. There are still plenty who are on the fence.

Hey guys, glad to see someone is at least trying this. I'd also be down for this if we get more traction from a dealer. My current dealer is Bonnell.

I’m moving from Bonnell. I sent Brooks Bonnell an email personally. I bought two vehicles there and he was great, BUT no response and the salesman I spoke to didn't want to make any promises and really was awkward about everything including document fees. So I’m done with them. Will be moving over somewhere else before the 10/31 deadline.

You should give Chris a call at Acton Ford. Very open about what they are doing.

This is what I got after a little back and forth:

"It appears to me if you don't have a special pricing plan from Ford dealers are selling for MSRP.

We are selling for the sticker price or MSRP without adding any ADM.

Doc fee(499), tax, title, plates and inspection sticker are additional."

Does anyone think Franklin Ford's "50/1" and "waiting list" comment is about the FE?

I'm of the opinion that it is just "Freakin' Ford from Franklin" - It's an old radio bit from 105.7 for non-locals

Yeah, the old inspection sticker on top of the X-thousand you're spending there. Dealer-guy, $35 inspection goes a long way.

I checked in with my dealership in northern NH and gave them the details from Granger and Stephens. They politely declined to match. They will be selling Broncos at MSRP and will accept any and all plans/incentives (including X-Plan) should Ford allow it. The only fee that will be added is a mandated $99 admin fee.

I tried... I am planning on sticking with my dealership though. They run an honest dealership and to me, it's not worth the savings to drive the car on a highway from WV or to ship it to my house. But I know some people want the best deal and I respect that. To each his own.

So this is the response I got from Franklin Ford when I asked them about matching.... can anyone explain what he’s talking about..... 50/1? Lottery?

I have my reservation with Franklin Ford. They will accept x-plan and @MSRP ( no ADM) so not a deal like some of the offers at out of state dealers. They gave some one else strange answer previously, the only things I can think of are 1) either bronco requests are going to people who don't know really what they are talking about so the "lottery" could just be the reservations and a wait list for FE.
Or 2) they are being vague because you don't have a reservation at the dealership? I mean I guess at least they aren't lying to you about what kind of deal they can make.

Have they made an official pricing offer? My reservation is with Lamoreaux Ford in West Brookfield MA...I emailed the Stephens offer and linked their site. I got an incoherent reply that ended with telling me that my first step is to make a reservation on Ford's site...he didn't even realize I had a reservation with them even though my email was a reply to his message thanking me for my reservation! Needless to say I'm switching, but I want that $1k under invoice + xplan pricing.
