Update from my post from yesterday: Today I spoke again with the dealer, who now says that their ADM is $20k, up from $10k yesterday! I am so angry with these folks! Time to see if I can move my order, and report this dealer to Ford Corporate. Anyone have contacts to "No ADM" dealers in Dallas, Houston or Louisiana areas?

The people I have spoken with at both AutoNation Ford Burleson and 5 Star Ford in North Richland Hills have confirmed no markup on any ordered vehicles.

Future Ford of Roseville (in California) just told me that my Lightning would be marked up $15,000 today. WTF? No way I'm paying that. Complaining to their mgmt about this nonsense, and also complaining to Ford (maybe no one will listen)...

Not letting this dealership rip me off. I ordered the truck. Just picked them as the are closest to my home. Aren't dealerships here to service the buyers of the Ford Motor Co vehicles? This is ridiculous that they feel they need to get $15k for doing absolutely nothing.

You can change what dealer you can pick your truck up from.

Called Ford customer service today… they are telling me I cannot change as it’s an order now (not a reservation). I’ve asked to escalate the issue now… man terrible experience thus far.

This is true if he has not yet placed an order. Once the order is in he’s stuck with that dealer. If he has not order all he has to do is Call Ford Customer Service and change dealers.

Can you cancel the order?

Yeah, you’re screwed unless you have some big Social Media Influencer buddies that can Tweet Levine and Farley.

Or have one of the major Tesla Online Sites report on this mess.

Took delivery of mine today from Apple Ford in Columbia, Maryland. They followed through with the zero ADM as shown on the Ford order site and in the provided signed purchase order back in February. Zero questions, zero push. Was actually quite a nice buying experience.

Bought a 2019 Ford Fusion from Apple Ford in 2018. Ty Thatch was my Internet salesman and did a bang up job. He is now a finance manager there.

I suspect the intent of this thread is to identify dealers who apply ADM to reservations/orders post-hoc, once the customer is locked to the dealership.

If the intent is more broad, I can report that Greico Ford of Raynham MA is asking $35K markup on an abandoned order for a Lariat ER w/ Max Tow order. Apparently the price one pays to skip the line.

yes, as this poll of information coming from so many different sources might not actually be 'what' it is proclaimed to be, meaning that simply 'asking' a dealer, or a salesperson, etc., 'if' they will be adding any ADM might not generate the correct answer you expect.
For instance, Tim B out in Salina Ks, who post videos as the 'Ford Guy', admits that as much as their dealership is not adding any ADM to ORDERS of Lightnings, he DOES admit that the dealership IS adding ADM to any vehicles not specifically ordered by a customer, such as the DEMO Lightning.

So, the question might should be: Does your Dealership EVER add any ADM or additional markup or costs to ANY vehicle? If so, WHAT specific situations does that apply to?

Many may have reported here that someone 'told' them no ADM, and yet others may find that they actually DO add ADM. There is no GUARANTEE of ANYTHING until you have it in WRITING. Period.

There's a few in the Dallas area that I'm aware of that's no ADM per the list is AutoNation Ford in Frisco, Sam Pack’s Five Star Ford and Rockwall Ford in Rockwall

Houston is Friendly Ford, and Lousiana is Banner Ford

We probably want to remove Banner Ford from the list. I spoke with them (their Monroe, LA dealership) today, and they're asking for $6K over MSRP.

You stated this in response to my post. Are you saying that Mac Haik in Georgetown wanted to charge you $20k in ADM? The first post in this thread now says they have $20k markup and so far that hasn't been my experience.

Not removing them. Adjusting so it shows they charge ADM.
