I can’t at all speak about buying off the lot as I know there were two Mach 1 Mustangs with a 10K markup in the lobby…BUT…after picking up my car ordered 8 months ago at South Bay Ford, I have to say they were fantastic for me. I read about people having serious issues getting thier dealers to do price protection and every other incentive. No issue at all. They made sure every incentive I was due as well as x-plan was applied including my original price and the options incentive before it was reduced. In CA we pay tax on full price, but they worked it right so that my original xplan price was the sale price rather than it being worked out with credits, so I was charged proper tax. I consider that absolutely honest.
And the best evidence is that I agreed to a price that meant a few dollars increase on the monthly over what I calculated. It was very minor and less than ten dollars so I just figured that was my bad calculation since they made a few adjustments with no question before that. But then I went in with finance to sign papers and was told the number I agreed to was wrong and was given the accurate number which was EXACTLY what I calculated. I was ready to sign before that. They could have never told me and I would have been happy. This would have been a few extra hundred in the pocket of the dealer. But they corrected it!
So with that I’ll recommend everyone I know to go to South Bay Ford.…IF they’re ordering a car. Again I have no idea what they’ve doing on markups, especially as the four Mach-E in the lot were all marked sold, though I think it’s a fair assumption that if they have one to sell, they’ll add on like most other dealers. I know a lot of people here are looking for cars that they can buy off the lot, and I want everyone to find the car of their dreams at a good price, so maybe this isn’t your best option for that in a world where nearly every dealer is doing huge markups on in demand cars, but they’re honest and up front and that’s something I appreciate in this day and age. So for that I give them fair props here.
