HIGHEST MARKUP IN THE COUNTRY!

[SPARKY150]

So I went to Phil Waterford’s Manteca Ford in Manteca,Ca to see a F150 Tremor they had on the lot. Then I saw the markups they had on all trucks and I was stunned. For the tremor they wanted 20k over MSRP and the other F150s they wanted 15k over MSRP. I attached pictures. How do you guys feel about this? Have you seen any higher markups?

What’s it have to do with ca? There are scummy dealers everywhere.

You’re really asking what outrageously priced consumer goods have to do with California?

But I’ll agree with you on the scummy dealers.

Oh we’ve got our fair share of ass hats here too. But I’ve yet to see here (forum), or in person anything above $5K markup for an F150.

I’ve heard a lot of CA dealers, not just Ford are doing that. I find it hard to believe that people would pay those prices as if you couldn’t find something reasonable a quick drive away. I had 3 dealers stick with MSRP even after I told them I had an offer for invoice and I live where I have 25 dealers within 50 miles.

Any dealer doing that is on my permanent boycott list.

That’s crazy. Every time I see a sticker with the twin panel sunroof for 1500, it makes me laugh that it cost me $3200 to have the twin motors and assembly replaced in my 2015 3.5. And not much you can do when every other day is rain and the dealer is the only one who can get the parts…

I was not having much luck ordering for anything under MSRP from Ford Livermore, or any other deals in the general Bay Area so I ordered through Granger in Iowa. The difference in price on a Platinum for me was coming out to $7 - 8K.

My son and I will fly over and make a road trip (and hopefully some good memories) out of bringing the truck back.

Wow, that’s insane

The killer for me is that the mark up was hand written. I mean, if you are going to steal ask $20,000 at least be professional about it.

I ordered my Platinum out of San Leandro, and I was able to get X Plan prices. That was back on 5/1 (still waiting on it too). I have no idea if that has changed since. If I had to do it again, I would have gone through Granger. I love driving cross-country, especially the plains and the desert.

Just to add to this a little bit, I originally went here when I was wanting to order my truck. I went in and no one took me seriously. Granted, I am 18 and went in right after I got off work and they probably thought I wasn’t serious. What they didn’t know is I’m an electrician apprentice and I was 100% serious about custom ordering a truck. When I asked to test drive a powerboost they had on the lot they told me they can’t let anyone test drive it because it was a higher trimmed truck. But after going back and fourth they finally let me. The test drive they took me on was about 3 blocks in a residential behind their dealer. It was a complete waste of time. While on the test drive I asked the salesman what motor he would pick if he was ti get a truck and he told me that they were all JUNK! When I asked about ordering they said I wouldn’t be able to get the truck until second half of 22. Keep in mind this was in August of 21. They also said they can’t lock in interest rates or rebates. And they wanted 10k override MSRP. All of this ended up being a LIE! I believe that they probably tell people this stuff so they buy the truck on the lot for 10k over. I ended up ordering ag Tom Hilliar Ford in Escalon,CA and I custom ordered my truck for 11k UNDER MSRP, locked in rebates and 0% interest for 72, and the truck took less than 3 months to arrive! David Hilliar is amazing and I would recommend him to anyone. He made a life long customer out of me!
