Updated: Resolved!! So, my bronco arrived and the dealer tried marking it up $10K ADM

Probably best to put the resolution information in the first post so people don't have to go digging through pages of comments about how dealers suck (which most do) and how you should've gotten it in writing (which typically doesn't help anyway).

Updated: Easiest resolution process ever! Talk with the sales rep about the ADM and he claimed that they markup every vehicle on the lot. After some back and forth conversations, I flat out asked if they are going to sell me the bronco at MSRP. Again, more discussions ensued and sales rep confirmed that if I agree to pay full MSRP then the deal was on.

Evidently, the ADM is a normal sales approach they try with everyone. And in this case, it appears that some specific questions about not wanting to pay ADM resolved the issue.

I hope everyone has the same luck.

Wow that is some shady shit right there. I live in southwest PA and have never heard of a dealer marking up as a standard practice on all vehicles. And if you're ever in the area, look up my salesman and now friend Bob Popson at Shults Ford Wexford. 100% top-notch integrity.

Here's the problem with your logic, when someone ORDERS a Bronco, Ford sends them this...

So why would they assume anything OTHER than it was theirs and that it would be at MSRP barring any other discussion of price.

Not Granger's order, not Ford's Order.... YOUR ORDER.

If I go online with Domino's pizza and order a Pizza... The local Domino's doesn't show up at my door with the Pizza and an Additional Dealer Markup for my F'ing dinner.

That’s a bad analogy. It specifically says there’s no agreement on price and you must go to your dealer to finalize the transanction. It even says that this is not your vehicle until you take delivery.

Better communication from the dealer is needed after the order. And since everyone knows this is happening, go to the dealer and get a Signed buyers order. If you don’t, it’s your own fault.

I grew up in Daytona Beach. Spent a lot of my youth hanging out near Sunglow Pier in Daytona Beach Shores. Glad you got it worked out.
I saw a 2 door Basesquatch in person the other day and it looked incredible.
Enjoy cruising down A1A and on the beach in your ride.

Nah that’s bullshit. They just wanted to see if you were a sucker. Glad you got your Bronco.

This is going to happen so much to ppl for MY21
Glad Ford is requiring price agreements for MY22

where did you see that announcement

 

[Vigor]

where did you see that announcement

Several places but I haven't been paying too much attention to MY22 order process since I have a VIN for a MY21

I transfer my order here early on when I thought they weren't going to charge an ADM. It's base squatch 2dr with HD bumper and bar. That's it.

GOOD ON YOU! Sounds like they are more worried about haggling it down then paying Admin. Use to live in Port Orange know them well.

They are the biggest Ford dealer in PA. Too bad they wouldn't go anywhere under MSRP when I called, I would have rather ordered through them instead of traveling across the state to Chapmans.

I'm surprised. The only time i paid full MSRP there was on my new-at-the-time 2019 Bullitt.

I smell a class action brewing naming Ford and all of these dealers with their deceptive ordering practices. If it is true that Ford is requiring signed Purchase Agreements for MY22 orders then they have almost admitted fault in the situation. Where is Ford to help its brand. If I were anything but an FE at this point I would have been done after the DCH Ford of Eatontown thread blew up. Can't cancel now cause the dealer still gets the rig and Ford is out nothing. I am just curious if the foot were on the other shoe in a down market and you ordered a vehicle and put a deposit down if these dealers would sue you to force you to buy it.

And there it is. Class Action

I wouldn't have ordered from them due to their dealer fees. Almost $1300? My dealer was $599 and it pissed me off. lol

 

[Mickey21]

Here is what I ordered....

And here is what they're trying to charge me...

Now what? If I could have afforded the $10K mark up, I've of ordered max'd out Badlands!!!

Remember folks, all nontaxable fees are negotiable. Wait what? Lol. Dang, that was a markup...

Keep apologizing for the crappy treatment by the dealer. The dealer failing to disclose ADM is simply lying by omission, they even gave him the DORA with a price at the bottom... Which makes the analogy appropriate.

And a non tax fee?

and “non tax fee”

What the hell is a "non tax Fee"?

all nontaxable fees are negotiable

Just an FYI, but the non-tax fee is usually: license, title, registration and inspection.
For us Texans it is ~$200 on a $50k vehicle
