$77K ... No thanks

[DrJay32]

Local dealer (Phil Long Ford Motor City, Colorado Springs) called with a "Deal" on a CA RT1.... asking $77k. She seemed shocked that I knew that the MSRP was under $60k for such a car. FWIW I do understand a limited ADM, but c'mon.

Sadly, someone else is going to probably pay this anyway.

Unbelievable. Well, I take that back... totally believable.

When you have more money than sense… should just do more work and get a GTPE.

The fact she appeared shocked is shocking to me. Did she think you lived in a cave with no internet?

I was at a Ford dealership in Draper Utah and they had a blue GT with MSRP of $66k and below it, hand written, +$20,000. I went back 3 days later to show my wife the color (which we ordered) and it was gone/sold. Unbelievable what people are willing to pay. $40k broncos were similarly marked up $20k.

gotta make some money with no inventory. they would have a dealership with no cars to sell but still 10k adm is overkill. i hope people will remember it and avoid them when the shortage is over

I believe this is the general mindset at FoMoCo in general. They way they select orders for production is a prime example.

What dealer ask is not what they get. My wife GT had 15k adm tag, we end up erasing more than 10k adm.
I was talking to another dealer and 15k adm became 4k after 20 min talk

Just today I saw a Phil Long commercial on TV (in Denver) stating "come on down and order your new Ford with NO ADM".

Tell ya what. I have a Premium, low mileage, I'll take a loss and sell it to you for only $70k. I would only do this for a friend, though, hard to take that kind of hit but I'm willing to do it for you. That'll save you $7k.

Order. Not dealer stock.

Some dealers allow orders with A/Z/D/X plans, but you cannot use them on dealer stock.

Some charge ADM on dealer stock, but not on orders.

I guess we’re expected to be idiots

When I was looking for one on a lot a couple of male coworkers were searching with me. They would find one incoming on the Ford inventory and tell me the MSRP on a premium and I’d say “no that’s the star white“ or “no that’s the ER, not the SR”. After about the third or fourth one they asked how I knew. I told them I’d spent 4 months looking at inventory and options and I knew. They looked shocked and impressed.

I sometimes think the dealers think most people just woke up this morning and decided to buy an MME. I live in Tampa and I talked to someone at that dealership. A lot of us have searched for a long time or a long distance. We know the pricing, options and details better than they do.

When I got one on the lot, I knew way more about the car than the walkthrough instructor. Although he was very nice, professional and was really trying. ?

Never underestimate the knowledge of someone who’s been researching this car since last summer!
