I changed my mind as they confirmed that they are adding $2500.00 ADM and won't accept X-Plan. Canceled my reservation and went with another dealership.I'm using Mathieu Ford in Winchendon, MA. I've used them in the past for service on my Focus RS and they are pretty good. Haven't dealt with the sales staff yet - I've reached out to the salesperson who replied to my reservation but they haven't responded so confidence in them is waning - waiting for answers on ADM and X-Plan.
Also, if you know of anyone who wants a 2016 Focus RS in Gray with 22k miles on it, reach out!
It amazes me that dealers will add markups so openly like that.I changed my mind as they confirmed that they are adding $2500.00 ADM and won't accept X-Plan. Canceled my reservation and went with another dealership.
The sales manager was so brazen about it too. He even told me that Ford was strongly discouraging dealerships from doing it but they're doing it anyway. Greedy. So I bounced and won't use them for anything moving forward.It amazes me that dealers will add markups so openly like that.
That so frustrating!!! How many people must they get it from too that don't have the idea about chasing around!!!I changed my mind as they confirmed that they are adding $2500.00 ADM and won't accept X-Plan. Canceled my reservation and went with another dealership.
The funny thing is that they did the same exact thing with the Focus RSes. I wanted to go with them, ADM was insane, went somewhere else for my RS. Meanwhile, they had two RSes on their lot for over a year getting tans because they still wanted ADM. I thought they learned their lesson but sometimes greed wins over logic.That so frustrating!!! How many people must they get it from too that don't have the idea about chasing around!!!
I retract this! They have just confirmed to me no ADM but no confirmation on X-Plan as they don't know if Ford will be offering it or not!Well this was a little disappointing to receive from Danvers Ford after asking about ADM...I'm not going past October without confirmation they won't be adding anything on top of MSRP!!
Looks like I'm moving my reservation to York Ford at Saugus!
It doesn't seem like they are responding about xplan and adm, their response seems to be about switching your reservation to their dealership?
Thanks for the info.I'm using Mathieu Ford in Winchendon, MA. I've used them in the past for service on my Focus RS and they are pretty good. Haven't dealt with the sales staff yet - I've reached out to the salesperson who replied to my reservation but they haven't responded so confidence in them is waning - waiting for answers on ADM and X-Plan.
Check out my other post - they are charging ADM - I'm no longer going with them.Thanks for the info.
Granger is at $1300 now. strongly - strongly considering that myself. As long as we plan on a few days back then the whole "steady mph during break in issue" is a non-starter. Just hoping that some dealers in or near MA decide to be a bit more willing to lower the up front $$ in favor of longer term $$$.Currently reserved at York Ford in Saugus, MA.
Had a brief text exchange with the sales manager there and he confirmed no ADM. Haven't heard back about X-Plan pricing. He also mentioned that they will start taking "orders" in September. This has me a bit leery as I know Ford isn't taking Bronco orders until December. I'm assuming based on feedback from other users here that they'll just want me to put down a nonrefundable deposit of some amount in September so that I can't switch dealers without forfeiting the deposit, thus trying to lock them in as my dealer. Not very comfortable with that at all. When I made my reservation I'm pretty sure York was the only option... no drop down menu or anything with other local to me Ford dealers.
I'm planning to call around to the other Ford dealers in my area (I live just north of Boston) and see who's actually taking orders in December, no ADM fee, X-Plan honored, ect.
I've also been considering switching to Granger in Iowa for the $1,000 off invoice incentive and no ADM trickery. I like how they have a sales rep that's active on here and seems really transparent. One way flights are cheap out of Logan (~$120) and the drive back to MA would certainly allow me to get well acquainted with the new truck. I'm going to see if I can find an honest, local dealer first but that's my plan C at the moment.
If any other Mass folks have a dealer that isn't trying to pull a fast one please let me know!
