Hello fellow Floridians!!!

[vvavepacket]

Plantation here.
I ordered an XLT from Plantation Ford
No Deposit … no games. Have a signed order form with pricing. Also ordered my Bronco thru them. With no issues. Only problem is I am still waiting on it from Ford. Us 2 Door people got screwed over

Did you do a drop shipped to Plantation Ford? Or you ordered directly with them? Are they at MSRP fee and any dealer fees/doc fees on final pricing?

Hello Floridians! I want to welcome @vvavepacket to the forums! He is thinking about ordering through Chapman and asked me if I know of any good Fleet Managers (for Dropshipping if Tom will still allow) in the Miami region. Can anyone here help him out?

Write to Tom at Chapman he will direct you properly!

I have been working with Tom B from Chapman Ford - he is good, so far, alas he is in Car sales... wink wink nudge nudge** There are no fees other than the ST of PA doc fee about $394.00 I think it was? And he will price your purchase at 4% UNDER INVOICE... that is well below MSRP by the way. Case in point my build out was originally about $37k before taxes MSRP... his pricing to me at this point is $34k and some change. NO Longer planning on the flight into PA... I have made arrangements for a Drop Ship to Ford of Port Richey - to pick up the vehicle (50 minutes by Uber or Lyft)... STOKED!!!

I have been working with Tom B from Chapman Ford - he is good, so far, alas he is in Car sales... wink wink nudge nudge** There are no fees other than the ST of PA doc fee about $900 I think it was? And he will price your purchase at 4% UNDER INVOICE... that is well below MSRP by the way. Case in point my build out was originally about $37 before taxes MSRP... his pricing to me at this point is $34k and some change. I am planning on a flight into the Philly area (where Chapman Ford is located) and then driving the Maverick 1st Edition home to Florida... stopping in NC to visit family...

394 not 900!

Oops... that is correct... I was stabbing in the dark from memory! Ok then

I ordered directly from Plantation Ford. No extra fees
They will provide you a DORA form (order form) that you sign with all pricing. except tax/tag
Fredy is who I ordered through
Both my M averick and a Bronco I am waiting on as well
Hope that helps

I worked with 3 different dealerships in this area and they all acted like children when I requested and then pushed for information and or updates... I would describe their responses akin to "Trophy participation" mentality... glad they got to participate but win or lose... they were happy just to be participating as opposed to "vying and competing" for a victorious WIN!! The sickness in this country with WOKE and Comfortable conversations is unbelievable and disastrous! Here is the Email sent to me:

Mr. Miner, we’ve received your unexpected review. (My insert: Yelp review) After reviewing your antagonistic communications with our dealership, combined with your doubts regarding doing business with us, we have come to the conclusion that it is in our mutual best interest to allow you to process your order through another dealership. We have responded to each of your requests as respectfully and as timely as possible to the best of our team’s abilities. It’s a very rare occurrence for us reach this decision, but ultimately, we found the tonality of your requests and expectations to be both unrealistic and unobtainable.
(My edit of actual name) Dealership FORD near Riverview, FL

All he needed to do was to write something akin to: "Mr. Miner, after reading your review on line we would like to arrange a meeting to discuss this matter, build your confidence in our dealership and conclude with a successful transaction on this Maverick Truck you so desire. What is a convenient time for us to arrange a 30-45 minute conversation?"

Bingo, that sets the table, we all sit down and have a discourse of gentlemanly discussion which leads toward a resolution or an impasse. That leaves open the door for opportunity to sell this vehicle, future services and follow up leads from my network of friends and family. His manner closes the door completely - with no room for restoration! Once again... UNBELIEVABLE.

BTW I sent over 3-4 glowing comments emails... which of course, were totally ignored.

Tom, call Steven at Chapman Ford Horsham PA. He'll drop ship to Ford of Port Richey. Call Port Richey and ask for Jeff Swift, Commercial Manager. $200 CD charge plus whatever else you need him to do.

I am already working with Tom, but I will take your recommendation... do you want an update for grins?

Not necessary.

Weird because he told me he doesn’t know of any dealer in Florida. I ordered through him and really would rather have it drop shipped to a dealer here in Florida
