Once again Ford doesn't require a deposit for the Maverick and in no way will that guarantee what will pay for your truck by the time it gets to the dealership. You need to get a buyers order spell out exactly what you're ordering and what the total cost will be, License fees state tax and most important any ADM and be sure to add the trailer hitch even if you don't think you'll be towing anything as the factory price is $100.00 verses after market is like around $500.00. Just make sure you have all the options and paint choice before you hit the order button changes can be made but at the Perial of delaying your build. Good Luck
I think you stopped reading halfway through the second sentence in my post.
Yea you're still giving advice and telling people to give them a deposit when it's not requiredI think you stopped reading halfway through the second sentence in my post.
I didn't say putting down a deposit guarantees your price. I said you need to get a signed buyer's order that specifies all the costs. But my experience is that it's easier to get a dealer to sign a buyer's order if you put down a deposit.
As for your warning about hitting the order button... Be aware that that does not actually submit your order. All it does is send your information to the local dealer, who is supposed to contact you, verify your choices, and then submit your order to Ford (see here). You can make changes with the dealer before the order is submitted.
And yes you are correct until the dealer sends the Dora to Ford and sends a return dora from them with your order that's when you're committed
The OP didn't ask for the minimum requirements to place an order. He asked for advice on avoiding possible pitfalls.
This is taken care of
. I'm fortunate that my employer purchases 10-15 vehicles a year and will be working with thier contact within the dealership who is possibly the largest ford dealer in my state. It's a long story, but they should have no issue obtaining the particular truck I'm looking for.This is what happened will my initial reservation last year as it wasn't ordered. Different contacts within the dealership now, all should work outI think you stopped reading halfway through the second sentence in my post.
