Guess “$12k over is insane” doesn’t speak to stupidity.
I took it as an insane practice and I agree with you on that........but I see where you saw that going.

Sorry, not trying to be aggressive this morning. Spent the last 36 hours traveling (delayed flights) and now I have to work all day 😖.

I walked from Jim Click Ford because of $500, and my build with them is set for Nov 29th. I will wait months to get another build but I wont pay over my agreed upon price.

People are stupid......paying 12k over in ANY situation is stupid
A slight adjustment in price might be tolerable for some. Any price above MSRP for a customer order is not right. Some of these dealerships are hoping that a customer order will walk away so they can go way over MSRP. Every customers situation is unique. I will not pay over MSRP. It is not a real good financial move. Most banks will not lend a huge amount over MSRP, the customer will have to make up the cash difference. Again all financial situations are different.

Geesh...love how Ford markets this as an affordable vehicle for the masses and then some lowlife Stealerships just say "Oh, hell no....screw affordability to the masses - SHOW ME THE MONEY!!" Unfortunately, some people will pay it. 🤬 It is like scalping vehicles!! You get arrested for scalping hot/sold out event tickets, but stealerships call it a "market adjustment" and it's legal.
You don't know the situations the buyers and sellers are in so they both may be winners in their way. The "stealership" may only have a few vehicles to sell and his banker may be screaming for $100k and the buyer may have lost all his vehicles due to hail, floods, thief's, etc and has a really good job with a 50 mile commute that pays $5k a week and he figures it's a better deal than paying $20k for a $12k 7year old vehicle. (The job may be one that if you are driving a car over 2-2.5 years old you shouldn't be working here).

"Listen, I like you, I really do. Even though I have three other people this morning that called for it, and I wouldn't do this for everyone, and you gotta promise you won't go posting on facebook or making tweets about this because I'm just doing this for you, nobody else, but I'll knock it down to just $10K above MSRP. That's $2K I'm giving you right into your pocket. We got a deal? Lets fist bump on it, you know COVID rules and all, partner!" - Salesman, probably

I saw that from 9/22/2021-3/22/22 that on maverick Ford credit will loan 110% to buyers with credit score 620 and 84 month loan and no payment due for 90 days! It was not real clear if all payment periods were included but 84 months specifically. (I think Ford credit is bottom fishing for the 5+% interest rate) (?? How close to $0 down or how much of ADM will Ford credit finance??).

Yeah paying 12K over is crazy. Certainly not "price gouging" it is a dealership trying to make as much money as possible. The result of this "overcharge" ? Some guy ( or gal ) bought it but certainly didn't have to have it - they paid to be first because this is all temporary. When they drive it off the lot - blam - 12K depreciation as soon as the tires hit the street ( plus some ) A maverick certainly isn't something like a 1964 Landcruiser that retailed originally for $2,955 and are now selling for 30 to 50 thousand. That's not "price gouging" either - all supply and demand.

Does anyone know FoMoCo's official policy on this? Any chance the dealerships could be charged with collusion?

I was in Upland today and decided to swing by the local Ford dealer to see the Maverick they have in stock, I get there and they have marked it up $12,000! It was almost $50,000 for a Maverick! Now I get why people call them “stealerships”. And to make it worse, some poor guy actually bought it! They also had a Bronco they marked up $20,000. Absolutely nuts
What is the name of the dealership? Do tell........

I am sure they would appreciate the free publicity this thread will provide them!!

I saw 2 ads today, 12/30/21 both Lariats listed OVER 48k! That is ridiculous and will kill Maverick sales as this vehicle is marketed as "affordable "
