There were so many times I was going to bail on it, I'm so glad I didn't.

It seems like the "right tool for the job"

Congratulation's!!! I quit counting early on and almost asked for my deposit back and am glad I didn't. Loving my Hybrid but qouick question, did your dealership have an ADM fee? (ADM = additional dealer markup on high demand vehicles)

You have proven that it pays to be persistent. Most people would have bailed a long time ago. Congrats from Texas and another FORD acronym for you - Finally One Reached Dealer.

No, they added wheel locks for $189, and I asked them to remove them and they did, and they removed the cost. Not paying that for steelies.

They also reduced the OTD price I was told by $500, because they said there was price protection that they missed and didn't deduct it from the price. I paid by check, and they cut me a check for $500 back. I would have had no idea about that. It ended up being $21,400 OTD Z plan and only option was floor mats. They said Z plan saved me about $1300.

Glad to hear that not all dealerships rip you off, I almost (and should have) walked away but after such a long wait and less than a 50 % of even getting one I caved. I do love my truck and am only one of three in my small town.

I felt the same way driving my EB home from Des Moines. Felt better every mile that passed.

Kind of sad cause I'm getting rid of my 22 Colorado which I really liked but it is 15k more and gets about 20 MPG. I had to buy it to get through the waiting, and kept debating which one to keep.
