iirc, for a Mach-E reservation, Ford made you choose a local dealer as part of the process.
Anyone know how that played out? Were you locked into that dealer, and could they adjust the price?
The Mach-E $500 was refundable, like with Tesla. I'm reading that the Lightning deposit is $100, refundable. So the $5000 must be the step beyond that.
- tw04 5y agoYes you were locked in and yes they could adjust the price. I got around that by going through a dealer in the Costco network. I figured the full force of Costco would be enough to prevent shenanigans and it worked.
- chihuahua 5y agoI tried the Costco dealer thing once and there were still shenanigans, so nothing is guaranteed.
- tw04 5y agoHopefully you reached out to Costco, they'll either get it fixed or kick the dealer out of their network. They can't fix what they don't know about.
- chihuahua 5y agoYou're right that I should have talked to Costco about it. Unfortunately, I didn't have the patience for it at the time, I just bought the same car somewhere else.
