I wonder if a lot of these dealers realize how badly they're going to be roasted on a large public forum for trying unscrupulous tactics like these.
Send the dealer a link to this thread...Then you can remove all doubt for them.They can read on their own as to what a short sighted decision cost them in Brand Equity.

Has anyone else selected a dealer outside of their area because of pricing?
Hells yeah. I live in MA and went with Stephens in WV.

I’m going to use the pickup as an opportunity to take backroads back during the break in period and do some traveling and site seeing in my new Bronco.

Obviously one has to factor in cost of travel and gas and lodging against any savings on the vehicle... but for me calculating and maximizing the “value” of the deal isn’t dependent only on $$.

Yes, I recommend reading the Granger and Stephens deals threads. This will show what great dealers are like: honest, willing to make a deal, answering questions, apologize if they do not know the info.

Oooooh, an *offical* "unscheduled order"! Sounds like that was dreamed up by the same guy that came up with "double secret probation". And, what . . . "print and sign and return to my email"???? How exactly is that done? Switch to a different dealer, read the other threads for the dealers that aren't jacking customers around and are committing to a no-nonsense approach upfront.

Hello,
Brand new to the forum, recently placed a reservation with Ravenel Ford in Ravenel SC. Just received an email from them requesting another $400 to continue the reservation process. They also say they can't commit to X plan pricing. Thinking of moving my reservation. Has anyone else experienced this yet? Thanks in advance.
My trust for that particular dealer just took a turn for the worse. Start doing homework on other options before laying down extra $$$.

Quite a few. I would bet over 200-300 people have done exactly that. And that is with Area defined as more than 200 miles.

Print, sign and scan it back in because Mr. Downs doesn't know anything about digital PDF signatures being binding?
