even if someone knows that blue is not a customer retail order. it honestly is surprising that Ford would build any dealer stock hybrid now when they have plenty of retail hybrid in the order banks and i assume a huge backlog of fleet orders.
Yes the green sticker is for you order not dealer inventory. You could purchase a Maverick on the dealers lot with a special order sticker if a customer changed his mind and didn't purchased the vehicle.
Thanks John. I didn't order the truck so maybe a cancellation? My Mach E was a cancelled order from the same dealer a year ago. It had a green window sticker as well.
We have been in the market since this summer for a 2023 hybrid at MSRP and went quite wide looking in the NYC tri-state area (didn't want to order a 2024 because of the $1500 hybrid price increase). Over the past few weeks, I've been getting a lot of dealers calling me about availability (several trucks per dealer, usually xlt's and lariats) at msrp (all with dealer stickers and order dates of early 2023).
I found an Alto blue hybrid locally. There is nothing being disclosed about any sort blatantly price gauging. One thing that was done though is that every option that can be installed is on the truck, including those that require dealer installation. Is there a dealer labor charge if they install the ordered options? The truck I have on order doesn’t have a box cover. I figure the cover will be around $250 per hour. If the dealer charges $180 per hour for labor the cover will double in price. That moves it to a whole new realm.
My salesman said that he could void or drastically reduce the dealer’s labor charge for my tonneau cover.
