Ohio Roll Call

[jwiedle24]

Mine just started showing in production yesterday and my window sticker is finally available. Hoping it will arrive by the end of the month!

XL Hybrid w/copilot 360, hitch, and all weather mats ordered from Germain Ford in Beavercreek July 29th

That is where I ordered also. I however ordered in December....

I ordered from Germain in June at invoice. It is due to be delivered within the next week. Just got a call from them essentially telling me that it is an expectation that I trade my current car because of the price of the Maverick and the market etc. I'm not feeling that vibe at all. They claim they will be aggressive, but they can't offer what Carvana etc. offers because of their market (which makes sense to a degree). But basically said, if I were to keep my car they'd expect me to not go and sell it elsewhere and actually keep it because of the price of the Maverick. I'd almost rather keep it as it's nearly paid off and the only good reason to trade it is because of high values in the market. I'm pretty worked up at the moment, and hoping it all plays out smoothly next week, but I just don't have a great feeling about it, at all -- especially after waiting almost 9 months for this day to come.

Who else has taken delivery from Germain in Beavercreek, any issues?

WOW. That is a bizarre call to receive. If they did not lead with "we need to ADM your Maverick," this may just be a tactic to try and guilt you in to trading in with them. Especially when they mentioned they "expect you not to go and sell it elsewhere." Makes it seem like you can just stand firm on how you want the deal to go.

I won't be trading in my current vehicle, going to keep it as a spare as I got a good deal on it. They haven't called me about anything yet. Who is your salesperson? I've been dealing with Sarah.

I dealt with a different dealer... Hesitant at trade in value at first but was able to get another 1k for it then I ordered my truck. Got everything agreed on and when truck came in, dealer honored trade in value and kept truck at MSRP. I wouldn't go anywhere else.

I'm from Amelia, OH. Few miles east of the 275 loop around Cincinnati. I have an Alto Blue FWD 2.0EB XLT with Lux pkg and CoPilot 360 on order. Got my order in, signed the order sheet, copied my drivers license, and put down my $500 refundable deposit on Tuesday Jan 25th and that was the same week they shut off the orders on Thursday the 27th. Haven't heard a word since and am really not expecting to anytime soon. Thats OK...I'm not in a current need for a new vehicle right now. Im just along for the ride on this whole situation.

Norwalk (near Sandusky). Hybrid, Velocity Blue, Lariat Lux, hard trifold. Called my dealer last week (Valley Ford of Huron) and he wasn't even aware of the notice about changing orders. He advised me to not change my order and wait to get what I want and not compromise. I sent him an email with a cut&paste of the letter. Received no reply.
I have an order for an XL that they didn't cancel when I changed my order to the Lariat. They put in a new order. They may have their eye on the XL. If the XL comes in before the Lariat, I may buy it and resell rather than let the dealer get the Mark-up.

Those were my thoughts as well! But it was still unsettling and I definitely didn't like it --- just needed to vent lol.

They never said that they would ADM it on the phone call, but I definitely stated I wasn't happy about the phone call and tried poking and prodding to see if they would say it.

I told them I don't even know if I want to trade-in my car. It's none of their business if I do or not. Especially since on the purchase agreement and time of order, nothing was ever discussed about a trade-in. He said they will be as aggressive as they can, but that doesn't mean much til I see actual numbers. I don't want a long drawn out process when I get to the dealer, and now I know it's going to be. I told him straight up -- I know you guys might not be able to match it, but if you match it with the addition of the tax break from a trade, it would save a lot of time, pointless negotiating, and awkwardness. Time will tell!

Parma Heights, OH here. Ordered plain Jane, no options Alto Blue XLT Hybrid from Liberty Ford Parma Heights. I have NO build date or VIN from my order 6/30/21.

My bare bones with hitch XL Hybrid from Montrose Ford in Fairlawn, OH, ordered 6/17/2021, is still not scheduled. My dealer tells me it may roll to MY 2023. Seems like fleet orders take priority on the XLs. but a few regular retail ones are getting built and delivered. Probably partly an allocation issue with my dealer, also.

My son did finally get his 2022 Escape plug-in Hybrid from Liberty Ford Aurora in late February, after rolling to MY 2022 from MY 2021 and waiting a total of 9 months. So, stuff from Ford is dribbling out on the Hybrid front. Just real slow.

I figured we were getting left behind here, so I thought I would do a roll call for those of us from Ohio.
I'm Dayton, I ordered a Lariat Ecoboost AWD

Geneva here. My window sticker showed up last Friday and I rec'd an email late last night that my truck has been built and that it should arrive at the dealer sometime between March 31st and April 6th! I have seen very few Mavericks in my area and am going to enjoy being one of the few for quite some time.

I took delivery of my Silver XLT EB AWD on TUESDAY.
Montrose Ford in Fairlawn offered me $25K for my 2019 Ranger 4WD with 45K miles.
I was offered $26,500 from Carmax, Carvana, etc... but by trading in the Ranger I saved 8% Cuyaoga County sales tax, so I really got $27,000 trade.
Their trade-in was fair, they did not waiver, and admittedly, they didnt make anything on the Z-Plan Maverick. So its only fair that I give them an opportunity to make $ on my Ranger...
BESIDES.. I have another Maverick on order and want to be treated fairly on the next one.
My Maverick!!

Drake is my guy.

This is what I dug up from this thread for fellow Germain of Beavercreek customers:

@MacDee - good pricing, no extra fees or markup, accepted X-plan; October 2021 (post #179)
@Strobe - invoice price honored, $250 doc $35 tag, was offered $2k under best 3rd party trade offer until finally offered $100 over but turned down to sell privately, in and out under 2 hours; December 2021 (post #288)
@rclee TBD
@TorqueWrenchUSA TBD
@Firsttruck TBD
@Kaje TBD


@Strobe --> may I ask what your previous vehicle was that they were offering to trade you above your other offers?

It was a 2015 BMW 335i xDrive. It was the rare Estoril Blue loaded up M-Sport so I was surprised they actually came up so far on the value considering it was worth a lot more than the usual 335i models. Usually dealer trades ignore the value of options/rarity. I sold it a few days after I bought the Maverick to a friend that said if I ever want to sell, he'd buy it. I forget exactly what they offered me, but it was around 22k for the car and it had 70k miles.

 

[TorqueWrenchUSA]

From what I gathered from Tim when we last spoke, (my sales guy), he said he has about 20 other mavericks in processing. I wonder if they are considered a larger dealership or not.
