Ford CEO Farley Says Dealers Who Gouge Could Get Fewer Vehicles

[NES431]

Farley : “We have about 10% of our dealers last year in the supply constrained environment that we’re in charging above MSRP to the best of our knowledge,”

I guess they have no capabilities at Ford to browse the internet? You don't need to be Columbo to to figure it out. Everyone on this forum knows the dealers charging ADM's. Or just check Autotrader. Duh!

FORD is complicit. This is just lip service.

There was a similar article posted last week regarding Ford targeting dealers selling the New F150 Lighting over MSRP. It never mentioned any other Ford vehicle.

I think dealers will be able to work around the ADM's, if it applies to any Ford through add ons. They can add on all the Great additional features that wasn't include on the OEM package. You know all those things you wish they would have added from the factory.....Lol!

The CEO is named Farley? Really? As in Chuck Farley? Chuck Uranus Farley? The simulation is winking.

You're thinking of Chris Farley.

I remember reading and hearing dealers have a short life span. Car manufacturers are going the Tesla route to sell their cars... all online.

Not sure if it will happen, but there is a lot of buzz going on that manufacturers are going to change their sales model...

Let's be real, Ford can't even track their own vehicle manufacturing and shipping process. There is no way they will be able to do anything about dealers charging ADM's.

Don’t hold your breath. Ford loves making billions in profit while producing fewer vehicles.

Galpin Ford is one of the largest dealers in the country and they are known for huge ADM’s and always have been. Farley is just blowing smoke to shut people up and make you think he actually gives a sheet about whats going on.

a fool and their money are soon parted.


This was happening in the 2017-2018 era as well or at least alleged to have happened. I don’t think anyone has ever actually posted tangible proof of it other than ‘the dealer said’. So it could be true. Or it could be internet rumor.

Last week I was told by Auto Nation Fleet manager/internet sales manager that they do buy from out of state dealers and ship it to Cali.

Please point the Ford ADM Police to Automax Ford in Killeen, TX. They are selling a used Bronco First Edition model for $30,000 over the $63,000 when you build a new one in Ford’s website. Yes, I said used, about 1500 miles I believe and $93,000 dollars?!?!! Nuts.
