As much as I don’t want to admit it, I don’t think neither me nor my friend have the appetite to work around Ford’s rules here. There are a lot of good suggestions in here that I’m sure would work if we committed to them, but we both aren’t super familiar with the laws and processes that would...

Update: My friend contacted the dealer and explained our predicament. The dealer responded and said that 1) if my friend doesn’t take delivery, the truck will be theirs to sell “at market value” and 2) that if he does take delivery, he must sign a “no resale agreement” that restricts him from...

Gengras Ford in Plainville ?

Thanks. I heard dealers weren’t really enforcing it but yea this is a valid concern if I reveal my hand here.

That’s an interesting suggestion, but unfortunately he does not.

The way I see it, the dealer can make some extra money by charging me a small ADM (they let me buy the truck directly), or I can pay the state sales tax instead if they try to gouge me (my friend buys the truck and I buy it off of him). So I think there is a little bit of an incentive to work...

I think this is good advice, and probably the path of least resistance. My friend and I will first try to work with the dealer to simplify things and just put the truck in my name alone. I may potentially pay a little more than the sticker price, but hopefully it won’t be much. If they do...

Just wanted to say thank you everyone for the replies and suggestions! This is my first time interacting with this community and I’m blown away by the thoughtfulness and responsiveness!

I’m not sure either. This is an interesting idea but I do think it would just be too many hoops to jump through for both me and my friend.

This is a great point and not something I had considered. Totally agree that the dealer has little to no incentive to work with us here, from a financial point of view.

I believe this is also the way it works in CT. But kudos for thinking outside of the box!

Thanks for calling this out. I’d be providing my friend with the cash to purchase the truck in full.

Thanks for the replies and suggestions. The ADM being tacked on is our biggest concern with just going to the dealer and trying to work this out. Right now there is none, but I’m skeptical it would remain that way. The two names on a title idea is a good one. My friend and I are very close so...

My friend has a Lightning currently in production that he no longer wants. We’re aware that reservations aren’t transferable, so we’ve been scratching our heads as to how he can pick up the truck at the dealer, and I pay him for it without us being doubly taxed. (Once for him when he purchases...
