Can you switch dealerships after 3/19 after reservation was converted but dealership failed to inform the person that they were charging 5K over MSRP?

It isn't my reservation but someone I know on Facebook.Did you sign anything agreeing on a price? Were you provided a pricing summary sheet or DORA? Sounds like another shady dealer move. I'd be spending some quality time w/ Ford customer service.
Did you ask and agree on pricing before you ordered?dealership failed to inform the person that they were charging 5K over MSRP?
If the customer never discussed pricing, the dealer is free to set whatever price they wish.Sounds like another shady dealer move.
If they didn't do their due diligence to agree on a price they may be shit out of luck. I'd still be calling Ford.It isn't my reservation but someone I know on Facebook.
Go back and review the terms and conditions of your reservation agreement. Ford takes no responsibility to set the price between the dealer and the reservation holder. That's a negotiation between those two parties. Even in several emails from Ford they advise reservation holders to discuss pricing with their dealers before they order their Bronco.I'd be spending some quality time w/ Ford customer service.

Ford customer service is not going to interject themselves here.

I agree the buyer needs to do their due diligence however in my mind this is still a shady dealer when Ford has inferred MSRP all along. To spring this on someone last minute is "technically" playing buy the rules but it's BS IMO. I'd still be making the call to Ford.
Even more than the T&C's, Ford cannot legally tell the dealers what price to sell the vehicles in most (all?) states, due to state dealer franchise laws.Pail Leyte said “Ford has inferred MSRP all along.”
All manufacturers set MSRP. In the T&C’s of our reservations it clearly says that Dealers can set whatever price they wish. That’s why Ford gave us the right to switch dealers BEFORE we converted our reservations to orders.
FYI, dealerships are converting orders without the customers consent.PWillette said “Ford has inferred MSRP all along.”
