Dealer wants a $20K mark-up... Anyone else been hit with this???

[James Calveard]

Im paying MSRP and no deposit from a small out of state dealer. I sure hope these greedy dealers dont get what they're asking for.

What dealership did you use? I have gone to a couple and they want $10,000 over MSRP.

By the way one of the issues the dealers are seeing if people ordering from multiple dealerships so the large deposit may be a way to stop that. My two cents.

Not seeing, causing. Literally a salesman told me, after I said no thanks I've placed an order: "It is best to place multiple orders to see which comes in first."

I’m fairly sure in Canada they have to honour the MSRP.

Not in BC, that's for sure. Still can't get a full size Raptor at MSRP. Corvette's, Shelby's, Raptor's, anything "special" has ADM

My local medium sized dealer couldn’t even get me one, and they consider me a ‘good customer’. I started looking and found an Azure Grey no graphics, no bead lock for $5000 ADM with a $300 refundable deposit. That truck is still in production from end January.

I was watching a thread about ADM and @FarmGirl pointed out that there was a SG no graphics, no bead locks for MSRP on the lot. I called immediately and got the truck secured with a $500 non-refundable deposit. It’s in the garage.

Don’t give up, I called every dealer I saw had one coming and the best I could do was $5000 ADM. This one fell on my lap thanks to a kind person on Ranger6G. It’s as close as I’ll ever get to winning lotto! I hope everyone gets the truck they want at a price they’re happy with.

I’ll close with something that will piss people off, but the s in MSRP is for ‘suggested’. No one quips when the price is below that suggestion. Anyone who knows about low production, in demand cars knows ADM is a thing. Raptor ADM is cheap compared to low production Porsche, MB and Ferrari among others. I prefer a dealer making money over a flipper. Also, orders I believe are another thing, if your dealer places an order, and then upon delivery tries to charge more than MSRP is totally unfair and should be illegal. The price should be agreed on upon the order placement.

This is all just MY opinion, you’re welcome to disagree!

So I got a call from the Ford dealership that I have been pestering for the last couple of months, just for him to tell me about the 20K mark-up, a $1K deposit, and the 1-per-dealership thing. I told him that I was ok with waiting, but I ain't paying an extra $20,000 on top of a $1K deposit with a $33K(estimated) KBB trade-in. I'm really disappointed that the dealerships are still doing this to people. And it's even more disappointing that I had no issues like this when I ordered my Tremor. What mark-ups have you guys heard about?

Most aren't. That's pathetic

I picked my Ranger Raptor up from my dealer yesterday. Ordered 7/10/23 with $0 down. Paid MSRP less the $1K rebate that they were unaware of until I asked them to search/call for it. Belk Ford in Oxford, MS, they never charge over MSRP on any vehicle. Great people to deal with.

Ive seen MSRP and any where from $2,500-$20,000 markups. You can certainly find MSRP it will just take a bit of home work. Some dealers are just greedy AF

You can get MSRP, I literally did no work other than doing an inventory search on the ford web site, and using the site to contact the dealer. Had 2 dealers with vehicles in transit send me quotes, both at MSRP within an hour, picked up the truck the next day (was delivered the night before).

I did the same with autotrader and cars dot com. My search took a little longer, but I did find the color RR I wanted for MSRP, and I had to drive 3 hours to pick it up.
There are also bound to be some who reserved more than one truck or their family/life/finances situation has changed since they originally ordered in 2023.
Good luck with your search. While you can hopefully get one for MSRP, I would have been willing to pay a bit more, since I was really late to the game and didn't start searching until late Feb.

I paid MSRP at Sewell Ford in Odessa, TX. Mak Haik in Houston, TX has 5 Raptors coming and asking 10k over.

Michigan Assembly plant is going to a double shut in June so if your patient, there should be a flood of trucks coming.
