Add me to the list of those having a shady experience with Grapevine Ford on a Mach-e.

Luckily I found one at McLane Ford in Fredericksburg shortly after and McLane Ford was great to work with.

I got mine from Five Star in North Richland Hills, well worth the drive, they were great to deal with.

I don't understand why they always list pre-sold cars on their website. So much wasted time.

I found one that is a demo that they said they'll let me know as soon as it becomes available and assured me it wouldn't be titled and be sold as a brand new car. It should definitely still qualify for the federal tax credit right?

Yes it should. As long as no one has submitted that VIN to the IRS for a deduction, you can take it for yourself.

Is there a way to check this before buying?

I used Russell and Smith in Houston with xplan and everything went mostly as expected. They did try and charge for things that were absurd but it only took a few minutes to get those removed from the sale.

I'm glad your experience was much better than mine with Russell and Smith. They are incompetent, time-wasting, mouth-breathing shysters.
