Thread for people who haven't gotten their Mach-E's yet to be grumpy in

[mfbrown]

So excited, I picked up my MME yesterday. I do want to tell you all that I was fooled by the dealer. Everything is fine with the car and it looks amazing but the dealer (sales manager Paul) tried marking up the car. They wanted us to pay $2300.00 over MSRP even though when we ordered it and signed the order they told us there will not be a "market adjustment" and they told us that other dealers market adjustment was between $5k-$7k. We told them the reason we decided to go with them was that they would not have a market adjustment. I told them that if they would have told about the market adjustment earlier we could have prepared for it and/or probably gone with someone else or a different car (deep inside I didn't want another vehicle). After going back and forth for a bit we only paid $1000.00 over MSRP. I just couldn't believe the dealer did this to us. Also the sales manager Chris that was helping track the MME before it was delivered didn't even say hi to us, which I thought was quite rude. I really don't think he did much help to track it down. I think we got more information through Palsapp than what he provided. The finance guy also tried selling us on the extended warranty which I almost caved but didn't, after we talked a bit about the ext warranty and said "not interested" he wasn't as friendly as he was at the beginning but he was still pleasant.
We were there in total for about 3 hours. I am excited to finally after 8.5 months we finally got the MME.

I think you should try to get your $1000 back. As far as I'm concerned the Ford Order Site provides you a summary of the cost including their "destination charge". There should not be an ADM and they are just trying to get more money if they can. That is rude and it is unethical. Absolutely, you could have gone to another dealer with integrity had you been warned. You should tell them to give you your money back or a credit towards parts/service or else you are going to slam them in the reviews and on every social media rating system available. My dealer begged for their 5 star rating and I gave it to them - because they did not play games with the ADM! They don't want to be slammed in the reviews. Ask for the general manager and explain. They are car salesmen and telling you that others are charging 5-7k is irrelevant and BS - that's for a car off the lot; not a special order.

I'm loving my car, but boy, that makes me grumpy!

Grumpiness is fading….

Congrats. Finally! Looks great.

Talked to my dealer. He said it shows that the grill cap will be delivered tomorrow. He thinks assembly and delivery could happen by Friday. Fingers crossed

In a way it’s good you had to wait to get yours fixed. I drove mine for a week and a half and then dropped it off at the dealer today to get the door panel repaired. They put me in this Lincoln loaner car and it’s absolutely atrocious in every way. Can’t wait to get it back. You’re going to love it.

Well shit, that voicemail I just left Bill Ford about personally heading up a special search and rescue operation for your grill cap is gonna sound pretty ridiculous in the morning now

I'm no longer grumpy.

Nice how your dealer also elected not to install the front license plate. I know CO says you have to have one and am thinking of the sticker plate that others have chosen. Beautiful car! Hope to see you at one of @Mach-E VLOG's pony roundups in the near future.

Thanks @Davedough! Going to hang out in here until you get yours, @veronicablack I guess has the last say.

Drove it home and was a bit surprised how it got from 60 to 90 pretty damn quickly. Highs and lows today. The bonus root canal I got at 3 is making me think of sitting on the couch a bit. I'll take it out tomorrow and have some better pictures. But can say, grumpy no more!

Generally I don't care about having the front license plate installed (Sorry if I'm goring some sacred cows!), but the dealer indicated that the CO law allows for a 7-day "cure" period if you get flagged for it, so I opted to not have it installed to see what happens.

So happy to see you get your car Eric. One less old-timer to be grumpy for. Slowly getting de-grumpified. ??

It's not really a sacred cow to me. I just didn't want the holes there if I can use the license plate wrap. Still waiting on my custom plates to arrive so that I can get them assigned to my car and then order the license plate wrap. ??

All for one and one for all. I'm hanging in until we are all not grumpy. Trust me, the right pedal does wonders for the grump removal!

Great to see some of the long time occupants of this thread finally getting their wheels!

In other news, mine has gone from "In Transit" back to "In Production". ? Back on cinder blocks she goes!

Build week pushed for 4th (maybe 5th?) time to next week. Original week was 10/11. Still no window sticker. Will have to wait basically an extra year to get tax credit. Blah.
