Did they give you a link? It's not on their website.

This is actually my build, I tried to ask them for MSRP and they wouldn’t budge on $5k ADM. they never mentioned ADM until it was in transit, but I don’t have a signed purchase order to provide any leverage.

it’s hilarious that they are comping it to a 2.7L FE build. I think they will have a harder time moving it as a manual.

They have the build details wrong, it's a high package, not mid (edit lol not really, it's actually mid, glad im not getting it, they missed up my order). VIN is 1FMEE5DH4MLA72582. Window sticker https://www.windowsticker.forddirect.com/windowsticker.pdf?vin=1FMEE5DH4MLA72582

So no PA before the order was submitted?

I encourage anyone and everyone to mess with these dealers, they are extreme scam artists. I was sorely tempted to accept 5k ADM just to torch their survey ratings. I was new to the bay area and didn't do the proper due diligence to learn that this is a bad scam artist dealer.

Jfc. I almost put my reservation in there.

They sent me a build sheet with a price, but refused to honor it. Again, the dealer has a lot of bad ratings for sales tactics. They didn't want to let me use my financing either.

It is what it is, i've asked friends that are executives at Ford (Esteban, head of the Bronco program was in my class at B-School), but there's not much to do. Maybe eventually I work at ford and get my revenge lol

Overall, it's fine, I put in an order at Granger. I don't NEED a car and refuse to pay a steep premium for a mass produced vehicle. I did a soft top build, so probably just another 6 month wait and Granger is genuinely nice, honest and helpful. The sales tax savings alone will pay for my fly and drive back to California.

I'd tell Fremont Ford to take a flying.....

Theres no sales tax savings. You have to pay California taxes when you go to register it.

I was civil so they wouldn't have any ammo on me as I take every opportunity to give them poor ratings on Google/Facebook/Yelp and try every avenue to give bad feedback to ford and impact their incentive/allocations in any possible way.

I meant as in sales tax savings from a nearly $10k delta in selling price vs. Granger.

Sorry it happened, shitty as hell.

It's just a car, and I feel great that i work for an automaker trying to put dealers like this out of business.
