As long as they're not adding an unknown ADM to special orders, I couldn't care less that they're adding ADMs especially when people are gladly paying it.

The only time I think people should be wary of a dealership is when they try to whack someone with an ADM after they've made a special order at agreed MSRP or less.

I'd agree with you, as long as they are not adding ADM to customer ordered I'm fine with that. Stock or abandoned orders are theirs and they can charge whatever the going rate is, that's capitalism. No one is forcing anyone to buy them and considering I could turn around and sell my FE when it comes in for $$ more than I'll be paying how can I complain.

Exactly, the only dealership I would "avoid" is one who screws over a customer who made a special order and waited many months for their vehicle. Even Long McArthur charges an ADM and Tim Bartz has contributed more to this community than anyone and I think it's well within their rights to charge an ADM.

I’ld be curious to know how they got their hands on so many, when there are a ton of us still waiting on ours.

There's a good chance they're not actually for sale. They usually are automatically populated on their site for inventory even if it's a special order. A lot of dealers do this just to generate interest and sales leads and keep someone waiting in the event the special order sale falls through (ie, customer doesn't want or can't get financing). If they're smart they take a photo of it as soon as it rolls off the truck and put it on their site in order to generate sales leads, even if it's a special order that is technically "sold"

When I was shopping for Mavs back in February, I connected with a dealer in the Lexington Ky area. I connected with a salesman and we spoke on the phone a few times.

He was pretty up front that his dealership was actually being Mavericks at auction(?) for purposes of re-selling them. At that time they had an XLT at $10k over MSRP, and an XL Hybrid at $14k+.

He let it be known that their advertised prices were pretty much non-negotiable. Not only that, they were going to change an additional $1,000 for paying in cash, and were going to tack on additional $2,000+ for questionable add-ons.

I wanted a Maverick but not that bad. I actually commend the salesman for his honesty. I would have been extremely pissed if I had driven 200 miles to find out I was getting a bad deal.

$50,000 ? Isn’t the base price for an F150 about $29,000 ?
