Yeah, I ordered one from these yahoos and another from a dealer in Philadelphia.
You have to watch Opelika Ford. They try to make you purchase add-ons with the vehicle.
Even after I said I didn't want any of that garbage.
The sales manager slid it in, but used a discount to deduct it.
I didn't notice it until I got home and installed the thumb drive they give you with the sales paperwork on it.
I didn't raise too much hell. Since it didn't cost me anything. But I don't like doing business with dealerships that are unethical.

They use tablets to complete the deals. This is how they slide stuff in. Tougher to spot scrolling thru a tablet than actual paperwork.
Glad that I'm not actually buying from them in the end, then. I didn't find the forums until after I had ordered with them, so I didn't realize how clueless they were until it was too late.

The Cincinnati dealer I found was super straightforward. They knew what they were doing, and didn't try to pull anything. I'm scheduled to fly up Monday to pick up the truck.

Who all there from Bama ordered one of these mythical creatures?
I did not order one but bought mine in Albertville. Also the Ford dealership in Huntsville, Woody Anderson, supposedly has 2 that just came in a FWD XLT and a Lariat.

Must be customer orders. The only ones they're listing is that red Larry that had listed for a long time, like $42,000

Long Lewis does the same. A lot of their inventory on their site ends up being customer orders and not actually available for purchase unless the sale falls through.

My understanding was the people could not get approved for financing.

Doesn't surprise me. I have good income and good credit and it'll still be a circus.

Why are you anticipating a circus? My credit's north of 830, and I only work part-time (transitioning to retirement), don't anticipate a problem with financing a portion of my Mav. Long history with Ford will be a plus, too. I discussed this in advance with both dealers I was considering, they offered to sell / finance me TWO Mavs, lol!

I have no doubt I could walk into any lot in town and walk away with any vehicle I wanted. But the Great Recession abused me and so I'm still a little touchy despite evidence to the contrary.

I picked mine up from Woody Anderson and the experience was awesome. They did the 330.00 under MSRP and no hassle. I was in and out in 53 minutes as a cash buyer. Still n the fitting tank of gas and couldn’t be happier.
