Are y’all going to try to negotiate with the dealer at ordering?

[Bronco4lyfe85]

Well not really, I'm not a day one order. Thanks

You’re welcome.

everything in life is negotiable. I would frame the question to the dealer as to how much below invoice they are going to go. Generally speaking the first person to speak in a negotiation loses. more than the other. Get the dealer to go first (then they are locked in to that number as the highest they can go), then hit them with you were expecting them to be at invoice minus $1000 (while you can still transfer to a Granger or Stevens or wherever), then tell the dealer, to save the hassle and expense of travel, you would agree $650 under invoice, or whatever you want to argue. If they won't budge and you are going to switch dealers, you politely tell them you are sad that an agreement could not be reached and thank them for their time, but you are going to call Ford right now and swap dealers. After you hang up, they may call you back almost immediately and meet you halfway, tell them you to move down a little more and you will accept. Failing that call, transfer to another dealer (you need to have called to other dealers and gotten them to offer a deal if you transfer a reservation, if it is an early one, they will be more receptive). Don't forget the first number you give will be the lowest you can go, be somewhat unreasonable on that number or you will leave money on the table.

Just be careful. I wouldn't tell them I'm switching dealers...until I do. Now that we know they can convert your order anyway, an unscrupulous dealer might just stick you when you walk away.

Good strategy!

Hopefully you didn't miss my post where I answered all the questions you asked.

Hi I did, much appreciate it. Great information and thanks

Looks like you have a lot of homework to do.

There are thousands of posts here that cover what you're asking.

Get cracking

Thanks

At ordering? Man, we negotiated pricing before we chose our dealer.

Most of us (the smart ones anyway ) are paying thousands of dollars below MSRP.

It is not too late. If your dealer starts to talk about a mark-up or even MSRP, start looking for a new dealer.

Thanks, lets see what discounts I can get off them..... or perhaps extended warranty if no discount is available. I can see them saying, its new product.... no discount!

Don’t be a dick

That's life rule #1.

Only exception is when dealing with hospital admin as a physician.

"dick" is their primary language and only way to communicate with them.

 

[vrtical]

last I saw most of the "group" dealership deals floating around here are still offering invoice or say 1000 under invoice for orders even if they are hold overs for MY22.

I'm not being a dick. We aren't his personal research service. To come on here and his first post is #9 questions???

You wanna answer these for the next 2 months be my guest but to let people think that's good etiquette??? NOPE

 

[BlueOvalBandit]

Really the only things that should be left to negotiate when delivery comes is 1) trade in value if trading in at all and 2) financing if you don't secure outside. Only because it's impossible to give those out months in advance. Everything else should be firm numbers.

 

[Toccoa]

Well not really, I'm not a day one order. Thanks

When did you reserve? Might be a moot point if you are a MY22.

 

[ScrunchFace]

Honestly curious...people negotiate to get $500 off of a $60,000 car?

Yeah, I get $500 is $500, but at that point it’s crumbs. The equivalent of trying to get a $500,000 house for $495,833
