I’ve been on the Ford website and priced a Maverick, just haven’t hit the “order” button. I’ve also been to two local Ford dealerships. Of course, the dealership thinks you should let them input the order. Not sure which is best to expedite the process…
But my biggest concern is the down payment. I’ve read comments on this forum where some people have gotten a written agreement from their dealer that they are under no commitment, and IF after seeing the vehicle decide they don’t like it, they are under no obligation to buy. I discussed this with my dealer, and the salesman kinda shrugged his shoulders and said that if I walked away that I would forfeit my deposit.
What is your experience? I know the Ford website automatically pre-populates with a 10% deposit, but you can change that. I just don’t know if Ford will actually accept and process the build without a down payment. Did you all make a deposit? And if you enter the order directly online yourself, how do you get them the money?
Thanks from Kentucky!
