Yup and that's why I did, and am doing it everywhere I can. Hoping the word gets out and people get smart to cancel (with Ford) there orders before build and the vehicles don't get shipped then they got shit to rip people off with...
Honolulu Ford (Lithia Motors) - 9 months later, dropped a bomb on me for $5995 Hawaii Market Adjustment and $2000 Arctic Blast. Of course they weren't going to say anything until the truck was on the way or less I could have canceled the order and THEY WOULDN'T HAVE A TRUCK TO SELL AT PROBABLY...
Nope long story short, I only had the signed by me build sheet and not by the dealer. And he claimed that's not the one when I went to the dealership and he did discuss the markup with me. SO, crazy I would have never even ordered it for that price. Its all bait and switch and I know major...
Maybe the other thing we should be letting people know is that if they don't want to sign it and give you a copy, call Ford and cancel your order. Being that the truck hasn't been built they shouldn't be able to use your name and ID to get a truck that they are going to rip someone else off...
Well Ford complaint line was no help. Basically said dealers are free to charge what they want. Asked even if he says he told me about the markup and says it's on what I signed? She couldn't answer at that point only to say this will get forwarded up and you may or may not hear back from a...
Ok so just an update. So I decided to be a nice guy and give the dealership a chance. Called and left a message for the general sales manager to call me back on Tuesday and tried the general Manager yesterday. Mind you I did say I have a few questions about my Maverick order that's otw (did it...
Wow, this is totally crazy. Hate to say it but this really sounds like what this sales guy is trying to do to me too. I don't think I would have handled it as smoothly as you did. Having grabbed that forged signature document I probably would have call the police/feds and the news media.
This is not right either but at least they told you up front and you didn't get all excited and drooled for 8 months only to get kicked in the balls. But then again, now telling you upfront 3995 we would still not have know at that time to make sure to get a sign buyers agreement and who knows...
Right on!!! Glad you found an honest dealer... Hmm interesting wonder if 2 ships coming or it goes Hilo and than comes Oahu because that's the same day they claiming mine is supposed to be on the islands... Enjoy da Truck!!!
Well, ya if I knew those Hawaii Dealers were going to play these games and be unethical I would have done that and you still probably would have come
Great thanks a lot
Thanks for the info, in fact I was just reading about it on reddit and was planning to Twitter him on Monday, hopefully he isn't getting overwhelmed with people like us and can do the same for me as he did for you. Mahalo
Just by me. In the normal world that is enough because its their form with their Company name on it which does make it binding but the automotive world plays by a different set of rules. It's like any normal franchise, corporate can shut down a franchisee but yet Auto dealers can't even enforce...
