Absolutely! It’s not too far from me. What are the dealers and who should I speak with?
Just got a call back from the owner of a local Ford dealership and he was very honest with me. Told me he doesn’t understand the 30k markups. Said most he’d mark it up is $3k which I was surprisingly ok with.
Why in the world would you expect a limited-edition premium vehicle to sell for MSRP from day 1? Doesn't happen with Ford GT or Shelby, Corvette C-8 and many others. You can go the route of searching the country as some have suggested, or simply wait it out until the initial surge of buyers is exhausted and more allocations will be made available by Ford.
Yeah, and Unicorns and Pot's 'O Gold at the end of the rainbow are real too! I challenge anyone promoting this opinion to show us even 1 example where people 100% refused to pay dealer markups and the national network of dealers caved and sold at MSRP or less after the little "boycott". IMO, this is simply a matter of personal convictions vs. how reality works. It may make you feel better about sticking to your principals, but a whole lot of other people will be driving these trucks and not caring they paid a little more up front now while others wait and pay the same later as inevitable price bumps kick in at 2x per year

There may not be unicorns or pots of gold and maybe ones personal convictions end in paying the same price in the end but guess it will be more for the manufacturers and not those trying to set their own prices. The bottom line, I object to dealers greed. So we will both do as we feel is correct and the world will go on spinning. And you and I will never agree.Yeah, and Unicorns and Pot's 'O Gold at the end of the rainbow are real too!

I agree with you on objecting to greed in retail transactions. I just don't consider vehicle dealers as particularly heinous offenders in the big picture that is modern life
You are correct but greed is greed and it gets old after a while.I agree with you on objecting to greed in retail transactions. I just don't consider vehicle dealers as particularly heinous offenders in the big picture that is modern life
