Some dealers “pausing” accepting SD orders?

Check out MAC HAIK ford, in Katy TX. They have an ad on their website for $5,000 off msrp if you place an order. I bought my 2018 f250 lariat their, and got a he'll of a deal, just watch for the lojack, ceramic coat, and window tint scam!! I have ordered a 22 f350 from granger as well, after I was worried Chapman would not price protect.

When I was buying a leftover 21 up in Washington a few weeks ago they said they put LoJack on all their cars but that I don't have to buy it so I said no. Is this what you are talking about? Always learning about new ways dealerships try to make some change.

They also tried to tell me that destination wasn’t included in the MSRP.

yep. They did same to me. I was an out of state buyers so I knew how to work them so I paid for the low jack. But I then unplugged it and told them it didn't work in my area, I live in the country and so on... they gave me back my $700. They tried to scam me, so I just scammed them back. They added it in last second as said its the only way I could buy it. I had to work them to get them to take it off the following week after I had truck home. Lesson learned! always negotiate lojack 1 week after you purchase the vehicle!

Wow, that's the opposite experience I had. Early on in my shopping last fall, they had a new Lariat Ultimate, and I hadn't driven a 7.3 so I went to check it out. I asked on phone and they said MSRP for price, also asked about ordering and they said they wouldn't honor x-plan due to high demand. I go down to drive truck and after test drive he says they want msrp plus 5k. Needless to say they lost a customer for life that day.

I have a 7.3 on order and recently bought a 6.7 leftover on the lot to use until it comes in. Dealership I ordered the 7.3 with won't change it to a 6.7, but the wife wants the diesel now and the 7.3 was ordered at msrp. Ordered a 6.7 through Gresham Ford at xplan, but was told its not necessarily price protected. I'm not too worried about it because the price protection is in the fine print for xplan and I know a lot of people have had good experiences with Gresham. So I'll argue it out with them if it ever gets built and if it has excessive price changes from ford between now and then.
