I went to order a Premium, and the dealer has an apparently abandoned ordered FE. They offered it to me for $3K over MSRP. Advice?

The FE is $6600 more than the Premium I intended to order. My dealer says another dealer in Houston got $10K over MSRP for an FE. ???

I would not pay above MSRP for any vehicle, under any circumstances.

You are the only one who know if you can afford such a premium. Not sure how long it would take to order a Premium and have it delivered to a non-ADM dealer.

If you are putting in your order now, you are in for a several month wait before your Mach-E comes and this would allow you to get it much sooner. However, the FE already costs a bit more than a Premium before even this dealer markup.

I think you should at the very least see if there are similar orphaned Premiums near you and see how much those are going for.

The 3K ADM is your personal decision - value you attribute to time, wait, etc,. The FE you cant order now anyway but you are now looking at 9600K over the price of Premium you would otherwise order. Is that worth it...? You can answer it for yourself. I for myself would not pay 9600 more when I know I would not want an FE in the first place and just fine with the Premium. You may find teh same Premium if you look harder and even if you pay 3K ADM on that, you would be saving 6600 .

You have to make the call. In this case its not simple time value of money but the trim level differences.

"My dealer says another dealer in Houston got $10K over MSRP for an FE. ???" So the other dealer is better than them....got it.

I'm just relieved to see no one saying, "oh yes, an FE should go for 10K over MSRP" - -that seems extreme to me!

It's out of my consideration even at $0 markup... I think I'll be perfectly happy with Premium RWD std range at $48,100... So that's why we say only you could decide what works for you.

I know of a dealer who has been selling all canceled Mach E models at $5k ADM (but MSRP for all preorders) and they sell within a day.

Tell the dealer there is always a bigger jerk somewhere but that does not change what he is and that you will be ordering your Premium through a different dealer. Well, at least that is what I would want to say. In reality, I would probably just say that you know there are a number of abandoned orders around and that many are available at MSRP or even at X-Plan pricing so you will find one of those elsewhere or order a new one but will shop pricing at a couple of dealers before placing your order. Dealers have the right to charge what they wish for a car but you have the right to buy where you want. Even if you buy yours at another dealer, any Ford dealer has to service it and honor the warranty.

Im sure that 3k is negotiable. You can try and talk them down. The worst that will happen is they say no. If you want the FE tell them you will take it for MSRP. They say no tell them you have an extra $500. The worst that happens is a no.

Posted this in your other thread, But I got my Grabber Blue FE as an abandoned order. Dealer had it listed at 5k ADM and I offered 1k and they accepted that. Normally I wouldn't have done that, But I was already getting a GT mostly for the grabber blue option, so this saved me some money.

I do occasionally think maybe I should have waited for the GT, but this one is already plenty fast for me. I don't regret my decision at all.

Boy did you make a bad choice....

How dare you not get the GT, the only real "Mustang" EV

Kidding, congrats!

Personally I would't be able to stomach ADM or not being able to use the XPLAN but 1K is not 10K so it's a small price to pay for a FE. I would only see this as a maybe for a FE, not for the other trims because those you can order and wait for.
