Probably not unfortunately. The dealer is attempting to now force me to pay sales tax that I am exempt from paying per FL state law. Long story short, FL AD military members who are stationed outside of FL purchasing outside of FL are exempt from FL taxes. Ive done this 4 times, I know what Im talking about. I asked them to give me 2 days to verify things with the state (because its a Friday afternoon I need until Monday). They then sent me a text saying "they couldnt guarantee the car doesnt get purchased." This was crazy to me. Mind you, this is all on the same day the car arrived (2 weeks early). Told them I waited 3 months, the car arrives well before they said and they expect me to move heaven and earth to get out the door on the last day of the month. Spoke with the GM on Saturday, we'll see on Monday.

Edit: They already have the car listed online as well.

That is frustrating/annoying. Hope they get it figured out on their end! Seems odd that they wouldn't work with you to figure out the state law and close the sale. Market isn't exactly hot right now.

I cant begin to explain to you the amount of false statements their finance manager made to me. Told me "every dealer who did that ate the taxes." He so full of it. One of those "dealers" happens to be Tesla. Not exactly the traditional dealer structure.

That said, if this does end up falling through, does anyone have any advice on who to submit complaints to? Tax issue aside, the "threat" of selling the car out from under me the day it arrived was what REALLY pissed me off and I would think big Ford at least would like to hear about it.
