Mullinax Ford

[mrbill]

Apopka had a white one there yesterday. I live about 5 min away and past by there just about every day looking for them. I have an order in there myself and told them if any Lariat hybrids come in to let me know so I could sit in one. I ended up seeing one there one day and no one ever called me of course. I pulled up and they let me sit in it to check it out. It was sold already of course.

great, Vero shows five today ,or course they are all sold/orders at least I got ,also to see and sit in one, I ordered xlt hybrid in Oct. from Vero, I told the Apopka /Orlando dealer at least on their website they show them as sold or ordered while on vero and west palm they just show them ,as you could buy it,and gets peoples hopes up that what they show someone can buy . I ask ( like they will listen to me hah!!) to please list on all the ones posted that they are sold/ordered etc. but at least people could see them,but would know ahead of time they could not buy that one. well see.

I bought my Edge ST at Mullinax in Apopka was a great experience. I am ordering a CG XLT Maverick with FX4 and Ford 360. I have a Vehicles Buyer Order which details all the costs.

Maverick XLT AWD - $22360
Equipment Group 300A -$3305
FX4 Off-Road Package - $800
Ford 360 - $650
Destination/Delivery - $1495
Total MSRP - $28610

Now for the rest of the costs.
Electronic Registration Fee - $24
Sales Tax - $1718.43
County Tax - $50
Title/Registration - $150
Lead Acid Battery Fee - $1.50
New Tire Fee - $5.00
Total - $1948.93

Total out the door before any other addons - $30558.93

I will test drive my maverick when it arrives and then likely buy it trading in my Edge St. When I spoke to my sales rep, he basically told me that all the mavericks he's seen come in since its release were orders for customers. Any cancelled orders are scooped up within 24 hours or less.

I ordered a Lariat from them in October. I asked about using X-plan with them and they said they only accept them from prior customers. They aren't very responsive or good at communicating though, at least not my salesman. I guess he isn't making much off of the deal so he isn't interested. That, and it won't come in for another 4 or 5 months probably.

My Mullinax Ford in Washington State never showed my incoming Maverick as stock on their website. I watched it like a hawk! But my salesman did call me every time an unaccounted for Maverick came in to see if I wanted to check it out again or test drive it. Or possibly purchase to make some earlier commission, I'm sure.

I ordered EXCATLY what I wanted. I would have waited longer. But I am glad I didn't have to. Actually, I shouldn't say I ordered exactly what I wanted. I would have preferred to order an AWD Hybrid. But that was not possible.

I'm using Mullinax in Kissimmee... I've resorted to drinking and calling ford directly vs. dealing with anyone there. Completely misinformed and communication has been non-existent, even with the sales manager (whom insisted I was not going to see my hybrid order for two years)... Even Ford customer service laughed when I asked them if this was true. Makes me doubt if they actually put my order in correctly or if they're doing everything they can to actually get it scheduled at the earliest opportunity should the stars align.

My wife and I bought our mustang from there and it was a great experience.. This time around is starting out shaky at best.

purchased on last day before the ordering shutdown date.. after ordering i decided to trade a vehicle to save on tax. trust me--you do not want to do a trade at mullinax ford. you WILL get totally screwed on your trade value, and they will admit that they dont even try to match a carmax quote. originally told about 12-16 weeks for delivery. after 3 days that was changed to 1 year by t stepens sales manager. if there is a big delay(which i see comming) ill hold order for a while until i can order a 2023 from a dealer that is more proactive with regards to trade in values. my advice is hold order just before production so this dealer cant benefit from marking up the msrp on your canceled order . this dealer actually told me they love maverick cancelations so they can resell. this is where the real profit is.

I took my 2013 Prius to Greenway. My Maverick is scheduled to arrive this weekend. They gave me a price of $8900 for the trade. I told them that was an insult so I put it on Facebook Marketplace. I sold it Monday for $15K. Carmax quote was $13,400. Greenway was the wind beneath my wings.

mullinax has been real good, but I have seen it "slowly" up the prices, as they dont have much stock as the rest of the car dealers. when I got my new f150 2019 BIG discounts and no dealer fee- that last few months I see a small discount maybe $500 , then it changed to sticker price, this week (when I went in to check on my maverick order 10/21/21) I see a mark up ,now not crazy like some are doing but above sticker, but no dealer fees,still. I have my xlt hybrid ordered at $500 over sticker so its around $24,500,I have a signed sales form,just waiting!!! he said if I ordered a eco, it would have been at sticker, of course you cant order any maverick now. I looked today they only had 4 new f-150 ,they use to have 40-50 in our small town. 1 new f-250, they use to have 10-20 of thoose all the time. ,all our dealers in town ,are the same the caddy dealer has 1 new caddy-they use to have 40-50 all the time, chevy dealer has 4 new Silverado's , they use to have 50-60 in stock. or toyota dealer has a somewhat good stock of new but they are WAY above msrp the new tundra is $12.995 ADM on top of msrp and they have about $1,200 in dealer fees on top of that.and they have had over 8 new broncos at $30,000 over sticker all sold ( but who knows how much of $30,000 they got) but they are gone. glad I got mine when I did.

I ordered at Mullinax with no added fees and will even get X Plan when it comes. Only on the lot ones I've seen had the markups.

you are a lucky one !! I thought $500 over for the hybrid order was not bad. they said if I would have odered the eco,no $$extra, and If I ordered in aug. no added $$ but I ordered 10/21/21 they use to be a big discount dealer, and like I wrote if you followed them over , since 2019, they now sell mostly at msrp or a little above, I guess ya cant blame them, as the stock is almost NONE on any model. BUT NO DEALER FEE ,thank god. some day maybe well get our xlt we ordered.

I ordered from them after you on 10/26 and did not have the mark-up. Weird they added it to yours. I ordered from the Apopka dealership, you?

from Vero dealer , its right on my signed sales order, but not gona grump over it.I did so well on the new 2019 f-150 I got there , maybe they need to add some $$ to the maverick?? funny,he said if I would have ordered the eco ,no extra$$. seems like all mullinax places should be the same ,but my d friend ALWAYS goes to the one in Kissimmee , says he does better there , he has bought at least 6 from them in the past 6 years. it would be nice to some day get the maverick, and drive it !!

At this point, I'd be willing to pay an extra $2-3,000 if it gets me my truck sooner. I don't need one right now, but want to get rid of my Rav4 while the used market is up and can get into my Maverick for a smaller payment for less years. Plus, I have a truck with great gas mileage like I always wanted.

I just hope they build it !! sometime in 2022 !! I ordered the xlt hybrid and only one opt. trailer hitch. well see, it really for my wife, replacing her 2016 kia soul.the soul has been great NEVER been back to shop, only oil changes. the soul is worth only $2,500 less than it sticked for 6 years ago. I was going to sell it and get a "kicker" to drive till the maverick came in but even "crap" with 180,000 miles is NUTS $$$$$. so we wait.

Looks like an Area 51 XLT Lux Hybrid is available in Apopka. They are asking $2,500 over on it. Seems like every week they go up $500 on the ADM. Still not a bad deal, but I want a Lariat Lux.

Annnnnndddd it's gone. I was looking at that one as well this morning, book marked it and it's gone now. Incidentally, I was looking at Mullinax in Mobile (since it is closer) and the link took me to Apopka. Strange that one dealer would link to another even if it is the same "family".
