Dealer forced Accessory Add-On's

[jamespmoran]

Hi Guys,


I'm kind of in a predicament, I ordered a Grabber Blue GT NP PP back in July and my build date is in October However my dealership received a couple of GTs this week so I decided to take a sneak peak at one and was able to drive one. (very nice in person, felt very smooth to drive) However, the point of this thread like the title implies was the non-negotiable add-on that I was not aware of when I ordered mine. I did get MSRP and price protection on my order but now the dealer let me know there are 6k add-ons to be added to the total price. I asked if maybe we could remove some since I would be having my own installed in the near future (e.g. Paint protection, tint, etc.) but was told no, "As soon as the car arrives these accessories are installed." BTW 2k for a digital plate?? I wanted to get some feedback from the guys on this and if maybe I should skip buying from this dealer and look elsewhere. My car has a MSRP of around 63k but with add-ons and taxes, the car is closer to 73-74k. Although it would suck to have to wait even longer I do not wanna get screwed over. Any help is appreciated.

Walk away. There are enough on lots now.

I asked if maybe we could remove some since I would be having my own installed in the near future (e.g. Paint protection, tint, etc.) but was told no, "As soon as the car arrives these accessories are installed." BTW 1.5k for a digital plate?? I wanted to get some feedback from the guys on this and if maybe I should skip buying from this dealer and look elsewhere. My car has a MSRP of around 63k but with add-ons and taxes, the car is closer to 73-74k. Although it would suck to have to wait even longer I do not wanna get screwed over. Any help is appreciated.

Edit: sorry for the bad quality, not in town so asked my partner to take a picture. On the right side after the initial price you can see the listed add-ons(which btw he did not say anything till after I noticed) what do you guys think?

They want to add on a maintenance plan, GAP coverage and a service contract ON TOP of the add-ons? And they want 9.9% to finance? If it were me, no matter how badly I wanted the car, I'd run away very fast unless they deleted everything AND arranged for a finance rate in line with the credit union rates.

 

[RJV15]

Holy shit dude!
They want you to pay close to 100k after financing for that car!
Get the hell out of there, tell them to delete your info and give you your money back.

 

[AroDomi]

Yeah..... I had no idea what those extras were and what they meant

If youre in LA, go talk to Galpin Ford.
I wasn't able to get a deal done with them but they are overall a good dealership that wont pull this type of crap.

Edit: also, try to get a loan with a credit union before heading to the dealership. 9.99% is THEFT even in this current landscape.

If you want to take a nice day trip, head up the 5 to Morgan Hill (just south of San Jose) and visit The Ford Store Morgan Hill. They advertise that they never mark-up.

I can understand a few hundred dollars in bullshit add ons (I personally would never order from a dealer who even added $5 over MSRP) but $6k hahahahah what a joke.
A full satin wrap PPf is about $4k, a 5 year custom plate in Texas is $500, and full top of line ceramic tint is another $1000. So unless you're getting anywhere near any of that (you aren't) tell them to F off and go order somewhere else. I recommend @Zach@Granger

Appreciate the mention

 

[Mike Pfeifer]

Wait, so they are asking $20,450 over sticker at the end of the day? Twenty thousand dollars?!

 

[Sofa King]

Some of that is tax (about half)... but still utterly ridiculous!

You should respond to these guys on Youtube. They would probably love to see this and make a show about it…

You are 6 grand shy of what I am paying for a fully loaded dark horse with a 10k mark up

You paid a $10k markup on a DH? Why!? Why!?

Only one I could get around here. Don't know why people act surprised about it
