Great investigating skills. I had a hunch that it might be a mannequin. we’re gonna start seeing the bidding wars begin before trucks are even off the trains.
What about that VIN indicated it was a Mannequin?
Thanks - I assumed likely the same, but you answered that with such authority like there was something there that said Mannequin.
@Sdctcher is right--it's a mannequin. The mannequins contain "F001" in the "ITEM #" sequence.
I agree, but their lack of transparency qualifies as a shenanigan when advertising a vehicle that has never seen their lot, and cannot be sold for six+ months. Sure, an ad that isn't transparent would be but a drop in the ocean of deceptive ads....
That's a good point. I suppose they're just trying to line up a buyer early, but that should be disclosed in the description. I find it amusing/lazy that they obviously used a canned description in the seller notes. This thing has power windows!? You'd think for such a special listing they would at least put 5 minutes into the description and copy/paste something from Ford's product page.
I've run into this a lot on cars .com lately looking for a pickup for my uncle. They'll post a truck saying they have it, you call them and they say to come in to check it out. You get there and they say "sorry its sold, but check out this other truck we have." In one instance, they posted a truck, so i checked ford's dealer inventory website before i called to see if they actually have it. Sure enough it hadn't even arrived to their dealer yet.. still on order.
