So what. It's a business. They don't add ADM to orders, even offering under MSRP.
I just ordered in the DC area. Gave up on trying to find a dealer that wouldn't add on ADM to hybrid orders.
Bob Bell Ford in Glen Burnie is reputable too if that would be closer for you. :)

Because the comment I responded to is giving kudos to Granger while tossing Germain under the bus - just pointing out that both have charged ADM and Germain has sold me 3 vehicles (2 broncos and a Maverick) at or below MSRP since the pandemic started.

Did you try Ourisman Ford in Alexandria, VA? Mike Powers there was awesome! They honored X-plan and Veteran's discount with no games. You could be eligible for X-plan with a minimal membership to the Mustang Club of America and it would keep the dealer fee limited to $100 vs the $899 they normally charge.

Honestly wanted to stay in MD to get the Tax credit for a trade in.

I ended up deciding on an Eco Boost anyway after reading about the issues the Hybrids are having.
Everyone is fine honoring MSRP on Eco Boost.

I get it's not many hybrids, but I've had a lemon in the past and just don't want to deal with it.

For others to know, the trade in tax credit matters where you're a resident, not where you buy a vehicle and as long as you're trading the vehicle in at the same dealer you're buying the new (or new used) vehicle.

I was trying to read up on that and couldn't find any info.

Thanks, I'm going to look at some VA dealers.

Definitely reach out to Mike Powers, I had mine scheduled with Ourisman within a few weeks of ordering and order date to delivery was less than 4 months. Delivery was no pressure for warranties, etc and it was one of the easiest vehicle purchases I have ever had. I also strongly recommend going the x-plan route to save on dealer doc fees, I saved $800 on that alone going with X-plan.

There're doing what everyone else is, may honor MSRP on orders, but the XLT they have in stock has a 10k market up, that's twice what most have.

Of course they're going to mark up retail/abandoned orders but I'm not the only one here who has given them a rave review and there are very few dealers who will honor x-plan.

As mentioned earlier, a digital membership to the Mustang Club of America is $35.00. This allows you to qualify for x-plan. This will limit doc fees to $100 and save you somewhere around $500 off of MSRP. You need to be a member for a minimum of 90 days before you can qualify for an x-plan pin.

Did you check out Academy Ford in Laurel? Their entire crew has been salaried for a couple of decades and they have a dedicated internet sales manager, Jackie Vadnais. I ordered my 2022 with her and she was quick and efficient. The only thing I've found there is that their business manager loves to steer people to high rate financing, but if you pay cash or bring your own financing that takes care of that.

That is great news! Our Granger Maverick order is in production now and I suspect is built and waiting to be shipped. Cannot wait to make the trip to pick up our Maverick! :)

Heya, you don't offer warrantees for California residents? I was just curious why not? Something regulatory I imagine.
