Maverick Resale Restriction by Dealer

[FabMav]

My friend picked up his '23 rolled over '22 Maverick today and was told he must sign a Resale Restrictions Form to get the truck he ordered. I didn't when I picked up my '22. Has anyone else experienced the same this year?

The restriction is he can't sell for a year, and if he does and gets over MSRP he must give that extra $$ back to the dealer. And he must give 30 days notice to the dealer if he decides to sell before the year is up, and the dealer has first right of refusal to purchase it.

I've heard of a similar restriction on popular vehicles, but not on the Maverick until now. I've attached a redacted copy of the document he had to sign.

without a dealers name??????????

My friend asked me not to post the dealer's name since he still hasn't finalized his trade-in.

There were rumors that Ford was going to do this with the Maverick, but this is the first I've heard of it actually happening. I'm guessing it's just the dealer.

Ask a lawyer.
Some have mentioned, unless they force everyone who purchases from them to sign a similar document, it most likely not enforceable.
Tell friend to contact their state Atorney General’s office with question.
Just a 3-sided coin’s opinion…

I wonder if any of these have gone to court?

How the Ford Motor Company stays in business is beyond me.

Ford did with the NFGT and Ford prevailed in court......

Not enforceable.

Some of "their" dealers are doing all they can to anger and lose customers. Ford is like the wild, wild west of franchises. Minimal control.

That's definitely the dealer screwing with him and not Ford. Ford did something similar with thr Lightning but haven't heard anything about it for the Maverick until now.

GM implemented similar requirement on the corvette - it was revised from 1 year to 6 months though.

This is a dealer document. Ford got their money. Unenforceable. How would any dealer track everyone who bought a maverick to see if they sold it? Restraint of trade.​

I'd sign it and not think twice about it, even if I sold the Maverick two weeks later.
