Damn us all for thinking people would still stand by their word. I will never do that again, not sure I am better because of it.The Warnings were all over this site for at least three months.
Those who ordered and didn't have a "Buyer's Order" signed by both the buyer and the dealership's sales/general manager with all costs listed and a total agreed upon out-the-door price then you were just leaving yourself open to having ADM, Dealer Add-On Costs or other expensive dealer fees added to the order on delivery.
Many people here ignored the warnings. They said their dealer was the good guy that they trusted the dealership. Now we see the consequence of those actions.
Reputable dealerships will have no problem in having your verbal agreement/DORA turned into a "Buyer's Order".
Bad dealerships will make excuses that you don't need it and will hit you up with excessive costs upon delivery.
Because of the warnings I went to my dealership and had a"Buyer's Order" done with what was agreed upon when I ordered and signed by myself and the general sales manager. No issues whatsoever doing this. Doing the "Buyer's Order" took about 15 minutes and well worth the peace of mind for me.
Upon delivery I paid exactly what was agreed upon.
Everyone here without a "signed buyers order" is tempting fate that they won't be screwed with add-on fees when their Maverick is delivered.
