Lolol $100 a mile.

It's actually 7.2 miles away, so $208 per mile.. lol

We thank you for subsidizing our deliveries (all of us 1000 miles away or more).

I do agree that the lawsuit doesn't have much merit .. my question would be since I am paying for D&D fee why can't I ship my Bronco to a different dealership that is actually close to my home? I am purchasing out of state and would love not to pay a delivery fee twice.

Ford could easily side step this by offering factory pickup. Then they could just point and say, if you don't want to pay the fee then come get it yourself. And charge to the service to pick it up.

..And they set the price for... new car prep...paperwork..motor vehicle documents...explanation of operation...and paying the people involved with delivering the vehicle to you...the grand total is 1450.00...

If you are attempting to make a comment on the fact large corporations don't pay their fair share of taxes and that is morally and ethically wrong (by both taking more then they give and providing them competive advantage over smaller/less established companies), I agree!

If your comment is instead implying that corporate taxes are passed along to consumers (which is correct) and that is the equivalent of a single company having fines levied against it for misleading business practices (a false equivalence) we need to have a conversation about basic economics and market based pricing.

Neither. What is misleading about destination charges? They are in the price of literally every product one purchases. Defending lawsuits are a cost of business, costs are the basis for product pricing. I need no education on this. Thanks though.

Easy, just buy from your local dealership.

Destistantion charges are the same if your dealer is next to the plant or if its coming from Mexico to Hawaii, for example.

I doubt Ford is making much money off it
