Call the closest Mullixax Dealer. They advertise no additional dealer fees. I have not personally spoke with them , so I can not vouch for their transparency.

There is no such thing as an honest dealer. I went to 4 Florida dealers and they were all crooks. Bought used.....

I ordered from Mullinax in Apopka, no dealer fees. Just ordered this past weekend so we'll see how it hoes?? Thanks for the info.
Mullinax uses the ignorant/incompetent sales rep method to try and charge you more than they should. I eventually got my truck for the correct price, but they didn’t make it easy.

I got my 2023 from them with no issue. I had to bring all the offers with me because they weren't going to offer any up, but I got X-Plan, Student Discount, and my rollover Incentive so I got it for $4500 below MSRP and only paid taxes plus I think $300 for tag, title and transfer.

I used Sarasota Ford. I had a great experience with them(this time). I had the X plans so no extras.

They re-invoiced my order raising the price. They left my daughter off the order and then told me they couldn’t add her, screwing up her College Grad discount. They gave me the truck with a big, greasy hand print on the headliner. They also added gap insurance without asking if we wanted it. I’m sure I’m forgetting a few things. I got it all sorted with the help of Tim and a sympathetic Sales Manager at Mullinax. Most of the problem was the clueless sales guy and his indifference. The sales managers didn’t take him seriously and thus they didn’t take my problems seriously. I got it all sorted in the end, but it was a pain in the a**. I really do wonder if that guy makes them more money being like that vs on top of his business.

Yeah the sales guys can be incompetent. I don't know when you got yours but I ordered in October 2021 and ended up being a canceled VIN/rollover. He screwed me on one of the price increases of the 2022's by not adding my Lux package before the price increase as I asked. He said he didn't know of any but would check the next day. Of course, the next day the increase happened and he added the Lux saying there was nothing he could do. It was all a moot point in the end because the VIN was canceled and the 2023's went up in price overall anyways.

When it came time to track my order, I actually found a sales manager on FB who was helpful and kept me in the loop as my sales guy was useless and just said it would show up when it did. While I admit it wasn't the greatest experience, it was still probably the fastest I ever bought a car and the finance department wasn't pushy at all. They showed me the insurance options, but didn't try to force anything on me.
