The ADM smackdown

[Broken Wrench]

I’m going to write a letter to Ford Corporate and complain.

It is worth a try, These Aholes end up giving the MFG a bad rep. Not sure IF Ford would follow thru on anything but I had to search for 6 months to finally find one available at MSRP. Tried to get a new GT500 but those ADM's are as stupid as this one. Even if I had $$$$ I would not pay for air.

At least that dealer is up front about it. Still ridiculous, but better than advertising a false price.

This local dealer is hoarding them.

It’s nice when they are upfront. But - I had been contacted by a dealer last week, asked if I was ready to buy as they had 5 to choose from… I was upfront and said yes — I can pay cash or finance if you want some of that money back, but I was not willing to pay over MSRP. Asked him if they were selling at MSRP. He said yes, the only add on would be the $1495 dealer prep package (I figured that was kinda like a $1495 ADM)…. Ok - drive 1.5 hours - look at it, tell him to write it up ….. then the “Now I know I explained to you that we do charge a $25k ADM on all Raptors”….. Ford Sales! Maybe next time I could try an email - so at least the lies are in writing so there is some sort of record to go back to.

you’re right. I’m wasting my time and a stamp.

Don't forget the letter and ink.

Unpopular opinion... based on what I've been seeing, and i might be wrong, but...adm is actually better with the current market. When the delta between market and msrp is too high you are competing against not only other owners but flippers too. This drives the price up higher because the competition is higher. I've been watching the C8 market and it's full of flippers. Order at msrp and sell and make $20k. Now it takes 12 months to get one and they're at full capacity i believe. What would make sense is for ford allow a markup and make it uniform across the US. Every dealer can go up $10k. Not enough of a profit for flippers and dealers still make money. Could be flawed logic but thought I'd throw it out there to get others thoughts

Only 10% of dealers are charging adm?? I say north of 95% of dealers are charging adm on Raptors. Looks like mr. Fartly is not getting good info

It's not just Raptors, but there is ADM on Bronco's, Mach E, and Lightning's . Hope this is not a token publicity stunt and actually accomplishes goal. Was thinking of getting Bronco for my son, but not extra ADM and other BS for everyday car.
