Reasonable ADM ?

[HouTX]

Want to order a Mach-E Premium, but just want to know what the total price from Dealer will be after that. I went to a dealer listed as a no ADM on this forum. Salesperson was informative but didn't seem to have any interest in me ordering through him. Gave me good info about the car (they did not have one on display). This confirms other stories I have read, they must not make much money on special orders. I emailed their Internet Salesperson twice about ordering, he did not reply either. I was referred to another dealership (also no ADM) 45 minutes away by a friend who knows someone there. The salesperson called me and offered to guide me through the order process on the Ford site, after I repeatedly explained that I did not help with that.

All I want to know is my drive out price after I order it. He said Sales Tax, TT&L, and $795 "modem fee" to activate the car. This is something I can do myself, but am curious if others end up by paying some type of ADM just to order it. Any info is appreciated.

"Modem fee" ... that's a new one for me.

I was very fortunate and did not have ADM on my car (paid MSRP though) but I have no doubt that others can be of more assistance. I just had to comment on that fee, though...

Ask them if they include free oil change with that ?

Cracking up at "modem fee". Absolutely priceless.

Can't wait for a dealership to charge a fee, for the included mobile charger.

More dealer scam lingo. Those sons a bitches will rip you any way they can figure. ?

Yep I tried not to laugh at that, but it got worse. When I asked him what that was he said "basically we make the car come to life before you pick it up" ! Now, that took a lot of willpower, almost as bad as the Audi window etching fee

No reason to pay anything more than X-plan, which is roughly $800 off and max of $100 paperwork fee.

My dealership has a $500 dealer service fee. They call it exactly what it is. It's built into their contract and goes on every sale. Wasn't too happy when they first dropped that on me but I'm OK with it now.
