Dealership Problem and Funny Business

Sounds like a lawsuit waiting to happen. People form MTC should start posting bad Google reviews on how you were swindled out of your Mav.

Wow Ford said it was delivered on the 8th. What a bunch of snakes.

I already got another truck and got my deposit back but this just makes me so mad.

I would still pursue further and see if anything legally can be done. If they got away with it this time they will try it again.

I know you are angry and most likely just want to be over with it.
Turn the info over to a local TV station that does reporting on consumer issues.
They would have a field day with it.

What a dishonest dealership. They used a customer to order the truck then sell it to another customer for an extra 5K.

Probably not gonna happen but Ford really should come down hard on these dishonest dealers. Glad OP at least got his deposit back.

Wow, what a Zen-like approach to life's lemons-you are likely to live to 100 given your ability to move on from such mis-treatment. Me, on the other hand...

This is the kind of thing that actually gets dealerships in trouble with Ford. How dumb are these guys? The customer had the Vin. It's not difficult to confirm what they did.

At the very least, they owe that $5k mark-up to you. I would be very surprised if the GM doesn't agree to that on the spot when you show up with the evidence.

Sadly the VIN eventually supplied shows this to be completely true. Thank you Google cache.

I’d get a lawyer and let them deal with it. Probably get a free vehicle out of it.

There's a difference between being zen and being a mark.

Interesting Google reviews for this dealership where customers complaining about markups on the Maverick get these types of answers (bolding is mine):

Joshua, thank you for the feedback. I am willing to order any customer a vehicle around MSRP or even less on certain models. Ford has limited production so much, that even used models are as much as new. My goal is to have a lot full of vehicles, and offer the lowest prices around but these are trying times for dealers. Please reach out to me directly if I can help in any way. Brandon, General Sales Manager.

Thank you for the feedback Tim. I honestly wish we were in the car business of 4 years ago, negotiating down from MSRP and a lot full of vehicles. I will absolutely order at MSRP with no hesitation. I only get a few of these for actual lot, and a customer could sell next day for a profit if I sold at MSRP. We are just pricing against the market new and used and I wish things were different. Please reach out to me if you would like to discuss more. Brandon, General Sales Manager.

What's also interesting is they got a bunch of bad reviews in the past months, but last week was a flood of good reviews...effectively pushing the bad ones down.

A similar situation happened to @GreenLady when a dealership said it was "damaged beyond repair" but actually sold it to someone else.

Here is the VIN in case someone really wants to check it out:

THEY WOULD ALSO NEED YOUR ORDER NUMBER
