o I went to the dealer site to see what my trade is worth and sent in pictures of my 2015 Honda Pilot. My Pilot is costing me $300-325 a month in gas right now.

They valued my trade in at $16,951 and with financing at 1.75% my car payment over 60 months would be $382.

I just wish it wasn't white.

Now I just have to convince the wife and have this kinda deal closer to home VA MD PA NC.

If it's was silver, or iced blue I would drive to OH to make the deal.

If you go to auto trader.com there are quite a few posted. Just to give an idea of what the mark up is here is one of them. Crazy!

If you go to autotrader.com there is a decent amount on there. To give an idea of the mark ups I found this Pro…… Crazy!!!

Sorry for the double post. Phone glitch!
It's that way on cars.com as well and I've already viewed AutoTrader. It's really kind of stupid because the dealers have been told by fours that they're being watched. I think Ford will eventually stop selling to dealers who are doing all this stupid crazy markups and only go with either one per state or regional dealerships with dealers they know they can work with and will follow the rules.
The hardest part for Ford is they still need dealers to sell their products. And in some areas Ford dealers are few and far between. They can slap a fine for selling over MSRP but it is just that. A “suggested” retail price. I saw a dealer that posted their mannequin for $108k and the picture even says mannequin on it. Their are even Lariats going for $118k. They are all posted with VINs so you can pull the window sticker. I haven’t found one yet that is actually shipped except the ones with Blue window stickers that are mannequins.
I originally had my reservation with another Fred Beans Ford but I moved it months ago because they gave me a bunch of sleazy double talk when I asked them about honoring MSRP and told them I wouldn’t complete the order without a signed buyers order price commitment. The salesman oozed the sleazy stereotype about how there was no problem and they’d surely work everything out when the truck arrived.

I found a small dealership nearby that was COMPLETELY the opposite. They committed to MSRP without reservation and produced the buyers order without delay. Truck is supposed to arrive next week so hopefully the deal will close, but I have zero patience for BS games. No $500 nitrogen tire fills or $1500 lojack.
Nice! I hope it all goes well for you. Let me know when you get it!
It's funny Ford is an international brand but the experience and pricing at any given locally/regionally owned Ford can vary wildly.
Because Ford dealers and not owned by Ford. They are privately owned and sell Ford products.
