Switching dealers

I recently test drove an XLT at my chosen dealer. I was amazed! The downside, he said that they are going to have an ADM on orders, too.

I was bummed but, in a discussion, group a guy told me that he bought his through Folsom Lake Ford with NO ADM. They are close to me. as well.

Long story short, I'm going to switch my dealers. I need anyone's help as the when I should switch. Now? When I'm invited to order? or after I make the order?

I don't want to lose my place in line. I don't want to be at the end of the new dealers list.

Thanks in advance for any help!!

Just a thought...

Maybe reach out to a sales representative at Folsom Lake Ford and see what answers they provide to the same questions you asked above. No harm and no obligations in asking.

I hope it works out for you in your favor.

Thanks, I'll do that. The guy I talked to seems to be very knowledgeable. I just forgot to ask THAT question.

You ABSOLUTELY need to switch now before you get too far in the order process. If the dealer said they are charging ADM, than no matter what they tell Ford they will try it again before you take delivery. Call the Ford Rep and ask them to move your reservation to the dealer not charging ADM. The Lightnings are great, hope you get to order soon!
