Price guarantee when ordering?

[Gene Dios]

I haven't seen a specific thread for this discussion but I'd like to hear some thoughts on it.

My dealer is saying "we're selling the bronco at MSRP and the build and price will give you your cost". This seems vague to me and doesn't seem like a safe guarantee down the line that they won't try to work in additional options or fees.

If I place the order with them, I don't really have the opportunity to switch dealers anymore, correct?

What are you guys doing to hold your dealer to thier word prior to or at the time of submitting your order?

It's called a pre purchase contract. Get it in writing

I have invoice price in writing in an email string. Been locked in for months. Not needed though, small family dealership in Appalachia that has been in business since the '60s. If they were shady they would not still be in business. Gonna be waiting for more horror stories from folks who did not lock their deals in before ordering. You cooking popcorn?...: ...

I had the salesman send me a signed paper from management with the agreed upon price. Actually got that before I transferred my reservation to them.

All the shady dealers still in business disagree

Yeah, unfortunately I believe my area to have top tier shady practices.

Switch your reservation to Granger Ford, $1000 below invoice. You can make a nice road trip of it or ask @Granger Ford for a shipping quote. Either will still be cheaper than MSRP and you don't have to worry about any dealership shenanigans.

I don't care much about a discount at this point (especially if you have to ship or make a trip to get it). I also don't want to end up being 500 out of 1100 in line or whatever and they have 200 allocated.

Simply working with an honest dealer with some integrity is much more important to me. So far I've been unable to get some simple paperwork rolling.

Why didn't you switch to Serramonte Ford when the rest of us from Nor Cal did? Sean placed my order on day one and provided the build sheet with pricing which i signed and returned.

I probably should have. When we were trying to get a group deal organized, the Serramonte guys started getting a lot of transfers. My family situation became a little uncertain and I figured it was a wrap on the bronco plan for me so I just didn't do anything with my reservation. Family situation is resolved now so I've decided to order.

Never the less, it'd be nice to just get an agreement and place the order and be set
