I ended up ordering from another dealer near me that doesn’t have any markup. I hope all these dealers charging a markup lose plenty of business for their shady practices. If anyone is interested the dealer I ordered from its Lithia Ford of Fresno
So I just talked to my local Ford dealership and he told me something odd. He told me that they add a dealer markup for maverick orders because it takes away from their allocations. I felt that this was incorrect from what I’ve read on the forums but didn’t have enough knowledge on it to contest...
