Seemed pretty clear that you were badgering the OP for $900 making a difference in their life at 70, but I'd love to hear what you really meant by "I can only hope I’m not worried about $900 on a new vehicle purchase when I’m 70 years old. "
Haste makes waste, Looks like you abandoned ship before knowing all the facts, Look before you Leap
i really feel your frustration. I too ordered July 10, and have been anxiously waiting for word of production dates etc. I had to take my Ford Escape in to the dealer last Wed.for a recall and had him look up my order to make sure I was in the system still. I am, and he said it looked like Mar. build date, everything to be included. I specifically asked about the across the board price increases and he assured me the original price was holding and that’s what I’d pay, no increases. I hope this holds true and there is no “bait and switch” bullshit. I didn’t get this grey hair, also 70 yrs., being conned into paying additional price increases. This could result in some legal and PR issues for Ford that I’m sure they don’t need.
Do you hope to be 70 years old and worried about $900 on a new vehicle purchase? I would hope the answer is no, and that you understand that I wanted the OP not to be in this situation at all. Since he walked away he now has to pay more time, energy, and likely money for a different option. I am glad he knows him self well enough that he will regret the purchase, I hope he doesn't' regret walking away.
So, yeah, you were badgering the OP about $900 being significant to them.
Went to LA Auto Show and was given this signup and told by the Ford Booth rep that the $750 credit would go towards my Maverick. Just picked up and in the fine print, it says it doesn't qualify for mavericks, Broncos, etc.
It was never my intention to be a d!ck. The OP seems to be ignoring our conversation completely. I will agree to disagree.
Not sure about the $750 voucher, but you can save $500 if you’re a member of your local farm bureau. Mine was only $20/year so it’s a good deal. The only catch is that you have to be a member for 30 days before you take delivery of the truck.
This is a different Vincent claim code. There is a PCO floating around for Vincent claim code #38344 which does NOT exclude Mavericks. I know, because I have it sitting in front of me.
FYI 2 trucks were under MSRP, 1 was at MSRP and thats the one I walked away from first. I would not even look at a truck over MSRP.I don't agree with that comment. I would guess every time you see a Maverick on the road you will be even more angry that you were treated so unfairly. FORD set the original price for the 2022 model year and you signed an agreement to buy at that price. If FORD cannot build the vehicle for the price they agreed to they need to loose money. Oh yes, buy the way did you see FORD is already loosing money. And with the announcement today that they are ending all Maverick Orders I am certain more people will look elsewhere to punish FORD from doing this ever again. Ford has made more enemies than ever due to this and the Bronco problems. Looks like a prime time fort other manufacturers to step up and fill this need, as I am sure they will shortly. Ford again shoopts itself in the foot.
Go buy something else quickly and let the dealer and Ford know you are not playing any more. Ford set the rules and prices and now can't make good on their commitment to their customers. Everyone should cancel their orders and let the Mavericks pile up at the factory and dealer lots with the $10,000 mark ups. This has nothing to do with shortages as we see through the truth. Ford and their dealers were unhappy with a $20,000 vehicle and decided it was not going to make them enough money. Therefore they made us wait and created a back log with pend up demand. Now they feel they can raise the prices above msrp. I hope these greedy dealers all close up. Sorry for the salesman who loose their jobs due to the greedy company who lied to all of us.
Good for you. Any dealer who marks up the truck should be outed to the entire internet so they are run out of business.If the OP felt slighted and wants to walk thats fine and I respect him for standing on principles. I walked on 2 Mavericks already and waited for a third Maverick that was the best deal for me. At the end of the day its just a truck and next year it will be just be another used truck.
Ford doesn't care. The MSRP is only Ford's suggested retail price. Ford has no control over what a sleezy dealer is willing to sell a Maverick for. What needs to happen is everyone stop buying the trucks until the dealers and factory are stick piled with no sales. Then Ford and the dealers can stop playing these games and see for what we agreed to buy for, MSRP.
