I ordered mine thru Don Davis Ford, the sales manger said that Ford was involved in the Grand Prairie situation. I didnt know about Grapevine, I would be surprised if Sam Pack doesnt mark up.

I dont think this is accurate. I got mine from Grapevine Ford and there was no attempt to charge above MSRP. This MSRP is exactly what they told me when they called me about placing the order. They also didnt let anyone test drive it. It was an excellent transaction. This sounds like the story that was on here about Grand Prairie Ford, not Grapevine Ford.I went by my dealer today just to see if he had any info on when we might convert my order to a 22. He told me about Grapevine Ford in Texas. A woman went in to pick up her Bronco. When she arrived someone was test driving her Bronco. Dealer told her it was 10K over MSRP, if she wanted it that's what it was going to be. If she didn't they were going to sell it to the people test driving it for that price. She obviously got angry and left. Came back the next day to discuss the situation and they already sold it. She now has a lawyer and is suing them. Apparently they did it again to another customer! He also told me that his rep told him that the higher ups at Ford are not happy about these kinds of stories. Also, that Bronco that sold at auction for 126k really pissed them off! So, I guess we can do our part by passing the word about bad dealers. So, stay away from GRAPEVINE FORD IN TEXAS!
The bolded part is the key! For both my Bronco and Maverick, the dealer had me sign the DORA, include an ADM on the Bronco, (small, but still... But its small enough that its still less than what missing a day of work would cost me to go to a dealership not doing one.), and they signed as well.I don’t have an issue with a dealer charging ADM IF they are up front about it when you are ordering. Letting someone order and never even discussing price, then adding it when it arrives is shady.
If I was Ford, I would have come to Jesus talk with my dealers. Because I can tell you if a dealer did this to me, I would touch the brand again.
Without him buying, I don't think Ford will reimburse him for the Off Roadeo ether. Just another kick in the sack.One of the guys that was in my group at the offroadeo was pissed because when he wnt to the dealership to pick up his bronco, it went from 49k to 69k, he refused to pay that and 2 days later was sold to someone else.
I believe this is where I got my list from. It is how I found this site.Need to figure out how to get publications to publish who these dealers are. The only way to stop this nonsense is to put a risk for them to lose customers. A master list of shady dealers!
7.75% tax....Jesus.This is what my dealer in Morgan Hill CA. Sent me .
Agreed! It was definitely Grapevine Ford!Just want to clarify and make sure that it wasn't Grand Prairie Ford. I would hate to see a similar situation happen again down here. These dealerships are giving us Texans a bad rap. Although, I have been to that Grapevine dealership a few times and it would not surprise me one bit.
If think that’s bad, avoid buying a car in King County Washington. Their sales tax is 9.8%.7.75% tax....Jesus.
It’s 10.25% in Chicago. As much as I love the city of my birth I don’t miss that nor the politics.7.75% tax....Jesus.
