Dealer Pricing

[Rec329]

Hi all!

I'm new to the forum and had a few questions. I placed an order for a Mach e yesterday at a local dealership. I had already spec'd it out online and had the "dealer price" when walking in. They confirmed that this would be the price I was going to pay but then there were several markups at the end. They had the Environmental Protection Package ($699) and Nitro Package ($299) added to the final price. I asked to have both removed and the salesman said that the sales manager would not allow them to remove it. He then explained that this was how they were making money on the pre-orders as they were selling from Ford direct for invoice. I begrudgingly placed the order and paid my deposit but will be shopping other Ford dealers to see if I can find a dealership that will eliminate those packages.

Has anyone else ran up against the same thing? Were you able to get the packages removed?

By the way, I still haven't seen a confirmation email for my order and will be calling them again ASAP to make sure the order was processed.

Many threads on this. Pick a different dealer.

Agree with @RickMachE. Cancel your order and find another dealer.

Confirm upfront with the dealer, and in writing, that they will sell to you for X-Plan pricing and with no add-ons. If not, then find another dealer.

As others have said, threaten to cancel or just cancel.

Or just buy it with those things.

Nitrogen package lol. Dealers around here gave up about 10 years ago trying to charge people hundreds of dollars for air.

But $1k in dealer add ons isn’t too bad. Are they offering a good price on a trade in? It’s all a part of the negotiations.

FWIW, I got x plan on mine. At the last minute the GM tried to push the dealer add ons and said they were mandatory with every vehicle sold.

Luckily the salesman was on my side, didn’t like the new GM and pushed back that they don’t pull this crap last minute for ordered cars.

Called today and canceled my order and placed a new one at a dealer in Raliegh with x-plan pricing and no add on. Local dealer is sending refund check in mail.

Just make sure to get x-plan pricing in writing. There have been instances when it has not been honored.
