I've never bought a ford product and wanted advice/opinions about which of the local western WA dealers/ sales person are good to work with.

I'm looking to order a base Maverick XL.

What has been your personal experience so far ?

Do most of the dealers ask for a large non refundable down payment?

Thank you so much,
Woody

I just ordered my CG XLT/2.0/AWD from Awesome Ford.

Haven't even set foot in the dealership.

No deposit and no requirement to buy even when it arrives.

Mullinax Ford in Olympia Auto Mall is a high volume dealer. They tend to get a lot of dealer allocations because of the volume. No dealer markups. But you will pay MSRP. They could be a little more proactive, as it seems like I need to initiate. But they are very helpful when I do call, email or text. I know a lot of people who have bought from Awesome Ford, and they have been very happy. Another high volume dealer.

In general, high volume dealer is better on a custom order. Smaller dealers have too few allocations and sometimes just one extra order can cause a significant delay until their next open allocation. However, if a high volume dealer is getting more orders per capita than they normally would, you can get bogged down there too. It's a guessing game. I turned out very well in my order with Mullinax, got scheduled relatively quickly.

Mullinax required no money to order. No reservation fee. Not. One. Cent.

Make sure you get the 360 package on your XL because it also gives you power mirrors.

thank you. I didn't realize that. I'm old enough to not worry about power mirrors I'm really interested in getting the base xl and seeing how I do. This truck will be replacing my 2003 ML350 with over 310k miles. I'll be glad to get more than 15 mpg.
