Getting a little worried

[Connor9988]

I have been seeing a fair amount of shady dealer posts on here and as my build date is under a month away I am getting a little worried they might hit me with the market adjustment or just sell it to someone else after "calling me with no answer" or some other thing.

My salesman did not inspire a lot of confidence in me with my dealings there. I signed both the retail summary document and order preview document on 9-15-22 but am under no delusion that it is any kind of legally binding document.

However, you bet your boots I will be taking all my paperwork in and laying it out on the table in an attempt to keep them to the initial price quoted on the paper.
They will be getting a check for it on the spot but I doubt they care about that. Probably just as much paperwork as someone who had to take out a loan.

Just pre-venting for everyone!

I was thinking the same thing was going to happen to me when i went, i gathered up lots of paperwork and legal documents including 6 months of research and watching videos and was going to pay by check. I was all ready to fight to get my truck and they didn't even play any games with me. It took longer to get the check than to discuss the price. It took like 10 minutes to get the out the door price and i only paid msrp, tax and doc fees ($199). Although i didn't have any trouble still don't let your guard down, i think i just got lucky.

Don't tell them you are paying in full though better to keep them guessing so they think they'll make a ton off of you in financing. You should have seen my saleswoman's face when i told her i was paying cash after we had already discussed the OTD.

Mine was due to arrive May 17-30th. Checked this morning and it was updated to April 28-May 11th. Panicked it might have arrived and been sold out from under me. Left voicemail, emailed two people… checked the tracker an hour later to be sure, and it was in final prep! Sales guy called me back shortly thereafter. Picking it up tomorrow. Sales guy and finance guy have promised no shenanigans.
I’m sorta in shock.

You're exactly right. I looked at rates for my local credit union before going in. Told them if they couldn't do better than that I'd just pay cash. They came back with a rate from Ford that was 2% under what my credit union could do. Why pay cash when I have the money for it sitting in a money market account at 4% interest and they gave me a loan at 2.9%. Before I mentioned just paying it in cash they were saying the best they could get was a loan at some random bank for 6.5%. this was back in February so obviously things and rates have changed now but they will work to do better deals if they think they can get a piece of the financing pie.

I used Inver Grove Ford in St Paul Minnesota and was quite pleased with my experience. Ordering was simple when I went to pick up the truck no games were played MSRP plus taxi plus tax. I would go back there in a second to order another truck.p
