2024+ Mustang S650 Orders Tracking List & Stats [Enter Yours!]

[ItsRoyo]

Hmm, I currently own a lexus, and park place is awesome to work with, bought a vehicle in 2021 with no markup or mandatory services, and bought one in 2022, same deal. Luxury dealerships are just fine. It’s the shitty automation dealerships and vandergriff for me

I would expect the same but I've had ver bad experiences with the lexus dealership in my town. I just traded in my Rx350 and glad to be done with them.

Been debating on snagging a great deal on a 2023 or be one of the early birds for 2024. New is always better right? RIGHT?!!

Damn, sorry to hear that. I don’t expect it from Lexus. But hey, you can never be sure

I’ve thought the same thing with a 2023, they have them here for like 5-8k off MSRP, and that’s for premiums. But I know once I see a 24, I’m gonna want to trade it in

yup another one of THE MANY REASONS why manufacturers MUST start selling direct to consumers.

seriously - is there anyone that likes dealerships

State of Mississippi just passed a law banning auto manufacturers from selling direct to consumer like the Tesla model. There is 1 Tesla "dealership"(?) in the state and it will be the only one like it for forever.

The excuse was we've always bought cars from a dealership. They just wanted to make it official. Pretty sure that's not capitalism. You keep dealerships open, but now (by law) consumers are required to go through a middle man vs allowing the manufacturers to compete for your business. Oh and I never heard any consumers pushing to protect the dealership model.

Bad news, they’re not gonna let you opt out of that appearance protection lol. They’re gonna say “well we already applied it to the actual vehicle”

That's remains to be seen. The two charges in question (totaling almost $1K) are 3-year warranties, and the fine print below indicates these protection packages were optional; before I signed on the bottom I thus wrote "Opted Out" next to each of them. The salesman agreed there is no obligation to buy those, right before he informed me there was no opting out of the dealer fee.

I have done that many times before (e.g. I have never paid for the dealer provided "scotchguard" treatment), but to your point this still remains a voluntary agreement between two parties. If the dealer feels like they have me over the barrel they could demand that I buy a jelly of the month subscription and take the owner's Grandma for a spin as a condition of selling me the car. That's a possibility since the DH is moving so well they may decide to sell it to someone else at a higher price. It's up to me to hold them to the deal or walk away. Here's crossing fingers.

Aside from the above-true story: my father's boss was always a Mercedes Benz loyal customer. One time he went to pick up his new hotness - an SL something - that he had custom ordered. When they brought the car around, he saw the dealer had installed one of those annoying dealer stickers on the trunk lid. Except this was no sticker, it was actually riveted. The old man went nuclear. "Who the [bleep] told you it was ok to [bleeping] deface my [bleeping] car!..." He told the dealer to take that placard - and the car - stick it, twist it, and break it off. Lawyers got involved. To make it short, he got another, pristine, identical vehicle from MB at a deep discount. He later switched over to Jaguar.

You realize that at the bottom of that paper is states “this is not a invoice” so they can very well screw you over. Not saying that they will but beware, because that’s not a legal binding document

Has anyone else seen the jump in base price of the DH on Fords website? Is this really going to push the price for everyone who's ordered and waiting on a car up several thousand dollars?

Yup, saw it yesterday. Still a grand or two when your pushing 70k, meh, not really going to deter me from following thru with my 700A

Wow mine went up $2100. I already have a signed purchase agreement, so I should be ok.

In truth, the reason for banning direct sales is the many requirements foisted upon dealerships by the state. Dealers successfully argued that if the state must impose such burdens on dealerships - presumably for the protection of their customers- the same standard should be applied to all car sellers. The direct sales model cannot comply, therefore either remove these requirements from dealers or remove direct sales.
Fair is fair.
And I concur, nanny statism is not capitalism.

Up $250 on Appearance pack
+$495 on Handling pack
+$1400 on 700A and base DH price (hard to tell how much each just looking at build and price)

So my build has gone up $2145. We'll see if price protection indeed holds. I'm betting there'll be another price increase or two before mine is delivered.

 

[Pyroguy]

Yep..$2145 same on mine. I'm not worried, I have everything signed already
