We're talking small claims court and I don't agree you have to accept the truck until the contract is complete as written. It cannot be sold out from under you while there is a valid contract. If it is sold you have a great case including damages.
good luck with the litigation - I just know it has happened and if dealer x (pun intended) gets away with it dealer y will follow suit
You had some smartass comment about lakefront property for sale...not sure where you were going with that...
Oceanfront property lol. We do not have oceans.
Oceanfront makes way more sense, and that was my first thought, but not what you wrote.
I think the Bronco launch as a whole is poorly managed. Bronco should be released before Bronco Sport for less confusion for the general public on what the Bronco is, mix matched inconsistent details and dates, little to no communication/transparency to reservation holders.
Cosidering that you are coming to them with the order, they are adding no value, other than perhaps a car wash and throwing away some plastic, it's good to hear you were able to leverage them. How many dealers did you have to go through?
I’ll give you that but just say that communications I would respect that more than oh well due to this that and the other were going back on what we said. You know I was always taught your word is all you have at the end of the day. Guess since ford is no longer ran by a ford they don’t really
"Coming to them with the order" that's exactly what reservation holders bring to the table. Where do dealers get off dictating all the terms? In reality they're getting a gift from you.
I visited the other two dealers with the new Rap when I was in the neighborhood.
Nice! Hope you left some stripes in their parking lot."Coming to them with the order" that's exactly what reservation holders bring to the table. Where do dealers get off dictating all the terms? In reality they're getting a gift from you.
I actually visited 2 other Rap dealers previously and had brief unproductive conversations about over MSRP. I had bought product from both in the past, a 98 F150 Larait and a 2000 loaded Ranger.
We had previously bought the wife an Escape in 05 at the winning dealer so they vaguely knew me. It's a small, no showroom dealer near by.
Since then I gifted my mom a 2011 Focus and just two weeks back the wife tearfully traded the 05 Escape for a gorgeous Persian green 2020 2.0L AWD Escape from the same dealer.
And just because I'm that kind of guy
-- What I meant by "coming to them with the order" was that the literally aren't doing anything ( other than some paperwork and a car wash). - Maybe we are saying the same thing. -- They aren't doing test drives, they aren't showing the vehicles, we probably know more about the Bronco than their 'experts', and yet they seem to be entitled to charging whatever they can get away with. I'm not saying that dealers never offer any value - but in this case - they are basically just overhead. Ford could put the vehicle on a train and I'd be happy to collect it from the depot.We meant the same thing, my Rap spent barely two hours at the dealership. It's a rare dealer that knows a whole lot about their product but the excited owner called me in while it was still on the transport. When I flew in I caught him on his back under my truck, he might have been chubbed but I was looking elsewhere.Nice! Hope you left some stripes in their parking lot.
I would have agreed until today, checked with my dealer of close to 20 years and 7 cars on what kind of deal I could expect, MSRP + $660 Admin fees. They let me walk right out. I think some dealers just want to get through this Reservation stuff and then focus on the Bronco when they get them on their lots.
