Ford isn't going to do anything to hurt the retailer / franchisee of his opportunity to upsell and make a profit.

lol.

I would like to pick mine up too.
Before signing my sales order I noticed the cost for "vin etching" and asked about it. He said it is policy that they do all new vehicles. I just said thanks, but your policy doesn't dictate what money I spend, so if it is your policy and my money, thanks for putting it on. They did not charge me, took the cost off the order.

Not a big deal but enough for me to say no way!

The UPSELL drives me a little nutso, I just tell the person, usually the Finance guy I came here to buy a car not a wax job or window etchings....

yup! We got a little VW Golf for our au pair, they added the etching for free.. but it does seem like some dealers want $200 for that, but there are 'DIY VIN Etching' kits on Amazon for < $20 that seem to etch just as well..
