NO WAY this has to be a major bummer if someone special ordered one.
If they are, fill for the dealership………..well, but whose responsibility is it, the trucking firm? Does Ford corporate get the trucks to the dealership or are each responsible for their own inventory.

The transport co. ends up paying for the damage, if it is more than $1000 the truck can not be sold as new, they have auctions for the damaged trucks(after repair) to sell them. Yes, it is a great way to get a new truck.....

If over 1K what is the usual drop in the overall price for the vehicle.
Some where on this forum they have talked about the Exc have a profit margin of 10k, for Ford.
If that is anywhere near true then they could really mark down these vehicles. Wouldn’t a car coming off the transport wrong just about guarantee over 1k damage?

back at ya

Depending on the auction and the market, 15-20% off retail....at least....

Suprisingly no, but keep in mind the discounting that happens at a dealer for a transport co. Usually about 40-50% of retail....
