Dealer response too stupid to not share.

[Fat_Kid]

I received a message about a month ago from a dealer here in Houston that said they placed an order for me. They did so without my asking them to, so I just shrugged it off. I got bored/curious so I responded to the guy today. This is our conversation.

It just irritates me that dealers cant be more honest. I get that they need to make money, but this sort of BS is what gives them a bad name (in my opinion).

Is there an way to contact Ford and cancel the order, or is that too petty? lol

Just thought id share.

Must be why I haven't received my order yet.

I feel you on that. I guess we should have started at 20k over and worked our way up from there. lol

You should ask how much over to get the truck next week.

If changes can be made, I'll take the order off your hands. I'm in no hurry, but do want to get one ordered.

I was thinking he should ask how much to pick it up this afternoon? Since its all about adm and nothing to do with the backlog or covid.

Should just say ok, you can do 30k over. That should bump you to #1, and p1ss off the other orders making them jump ship. Then you pull out right at the end (hopefully you have plenty experience with that).

did he respond to you after your last message there?

I wonder how he gets paid at his dealership, if hes on a flat rate then he has no incentive to say that, but if he gets paid a % of the gross then he definitely does.

Funny thing is that they would still sell it at MSRP anyways, so you'll win if you just wait, but thats assuming you still want the truck.

If you do buy the truck, you can hurt them buy not buying any extra's in the back end of the deal (PPF, accessories, warranties etc), obtain your own financing if possible, and then not service with them in the future. This way the only margin they make is in the front end of the sale.

paying adm on a raptor is bout as smart as marrying a h00ker.

if you cant get one at msrp, buy a real prerunner ( caged linked, sorted and ready to rip), they'll be about the same as a raptor + ADM.
