Based on the concept that in Russia they move around on tanks, have personal nuclear reactors, constantly drink vodka, and have pet bears for children, then you are probably right: "according to the latest information from reliable sources, in one of the cities of Russia, citizens from the queue for bread, fought with citizens from the queue for cars.I ordered a 2022 Raptor on 11/01/21. I initially wanted the Performance Package, but my dealer called me and said that Ford didn't have some of the necessary parts for the performance package and had no idea if, and when it would become available. I too, reluctantly opted for the 35's. I stopped by the dealership on 11/09 to see if they had a VIN yet. "Negative" They had no idea when it would be built.
In Russia, a vehicle must be ordered 5 years in advance. Perhaps we're headed in that direction. Lord knows that the lines at Walmart are beginning to resemble Russian bread lines. Hahaha
I can say that you are wrong.
We were joking, now I'll tell you how it really is.
We have other problems with the purchase of transport.
I will try to explain: There are a lot of cars in stock, but we do not legally apply an analogue of your ADM, and we have a different MSRP, it already includes all taxes and shipping. So, the car manufacturer limits the dealer in the amount of profit received, setting the allowable range as a percentage. But the market dictates different conditions, cars have risen in price everywhere and our dealers are going for what I would call cheating. I'll give you an example (I'll say right away that it's not everywhere, but there are such cases): You buy a car from a dealer, you are ready to buy it for cash, the price (MSRP) is $ 50,000, but they will sell it to you only if several requirements are met: buying on credit is mandatory (the dealer receives a commission from your transaction with the bank), buying additional equipment you don't need at an insanely inflated cost... That's where you'll be surprised... Tinting of the rear windows of the car - $ 1300, at the usual price of $ 200, mats for $ 700, a roadside assistance card for $ 4-5k, at the same time, there are either no services on, or a formal 1 evacuation...
Everyone has their own tricks, but your sale with ADM, although unpleasant for the buyer, seems more honest.
P.s. A couple of years ago, when buying a car, it was possible not only to get a significant discount, but also to leave the dealer with a variety of options, child seats, service packages, mats, winter tires, etc.
