Any recommendations for dealerships to work with in Southern California? I purchased my Bronco from Kearny Mesa Ford at MSRP...But I do not think they are committed to MSRP sales for the new Ranger? I am looking to order a Raptor. Any recommendations?

I've spoken to Kearny Mesa, Galpin, Gosch, and Villa Ford and they all are planning to put in dealer orders only for now and sell those with an ADM. I don't think there's going to be much luck for the area for awhile unless you are on the in with a dealer.

You are a bit late to the game. Most of us here, have already been talking to a dealer 2 years ago for this. But you are not wrong, when you say most dealers will put in their stock order in first, which sucks because technically customer orders have a higher priority code, but they will simply just not submit people's order. Sigh.

There are no retail orders until q4. So yes, they are putting stock orders in because that's what's available.

Would be cool if their stock order was the truck I ordered and they gave it to me haha.

Thanks for everyone's replies. I guess it was a lot easy with the Bronco Order. Just pick a dealer and place your order. Based upon your order date/time (kind of with a lot of exceptions) you would pick up the bronco. KMF had no ADM. I am used to waiting...

Not an RR but bought the Ranger from Gosch off the lot. Got a good discount and financing deal. Would do again. Not sure about RRs though, or earlier in the year sales. Bought right before Halloween.

EDIT: Sorry I just realized this is a dead thread.

You guessed it they got me in the door with we will sell at msrp then i get to finance and they had added on maintenance and some security system totaling over 3K to the price i argued that i never agreed to these and eventually they took them off. However that’s not even all of it while i was in the middle of the deal originally hashing out my trade and negotiating numbers they sold the truck to another person. So i left immediately, about 10 min later they called me and said they were sorry and they cancelled that guys contract and the truck would be there for me if i still wanted it so after much thought i decided to still get it but i’ll never go back for anything ever and it sucks cause they are walking distance from my house

I know the origins of this thread are a bit old now, but thought I'd throw my story in here.

Also worth noting that the car market is quite changed now. The market is depress and interest rates are really high. This helps on prices, but sucks if you have to finance (like me).
