    Hello all, I've been lurking around here since before I ordered my truck back in September. Lots of great info and image exchange, seems like the beginnings of a great community.

    I mentioned in a post earlier today that AutoNation Frisco is trying to screw me over as we speak - in a nutshell I made a deal and placed an order at MSRP 4.5 months ago and now they are telling me trucks are running $10k over sticker as "mandated by corporate".

    Many here have paid over sticker and I respect that, it just isn't for me. But if they told had me they wanted $10k over list when I first called I would have never placed an order with them. Especially since I am in Oregon and had called at least 20 dealers to find the deal. Now if they don't honor their original deal I've lost 4.5 months, and that's the part that makes this whole thing especially sleazy.

    If anyone else here has experiencing something similar with AutoNation, please PM me to discuss.

    That's a bunch of B.S. I ordered mine @ MSRP and ended up getting it for $1000 UNDER MSRP. I picked it up tonight! I'll post pics tomorrow. But there are honest dealers out there.

    hey. just replied to sapper on other thread. but ya. they scammers at autonation

    "
    sorry to hear that. if i see those pictures correct thats AutoNation. I didnt go to them for that reason (im in north dallas) They are some shady people there. i got one of my older other F150s from there and they are some scammers.
    if you have a signed order sheet showing price and deposit that is legally binding i would think. ur call sue their ass. if we get enough of these shady deals we should team up and class action sue Ford imo."

    I also ordered in late August from AutoNation at Miami. As I live in Scotland in the UK and I have a Gen 1 2014 Raptor currently.I also shopped around Miami as was on holiday there. They were the only dealer who could confidently assure delivery. Agreed price at $10k over list which I was reluctant to do but couldn`t achieve any better at others.Paid a £5k deposit on the spot.
    Another dealer Miami Ford wanted an open ended premium with a bigger deposit. Everything at AutoNation was fine until the truck arrived last week and they put it on forecourt.
    Now the GM has been inundated with cash buyers wanting to pay much more and has done everything in his power to try to piss me off including not returning any calls at all, trying to charge $1,500+ dollars for paint - dent protection that wasn`t agreed even although I live 9,000 miles away.Then reneged on invoicing without Sales Tax even although it is for export.Now even although paid in full his latest is that I have to travel by plane from the U.K.9,000 miles to personally sign paperwork as he says it is only way. Yet shipping company and Customs all prepared to receive documents and passport copies by scan over e/mail. I buy lots of vehicles for my fleet and this is the worst buying experience ever!
    So even if you commit to AutoNation at a premium do not be guaranteed they will honour it!
    Best of luck guys.
    Name and Shame them!
    If there are anyone out there who knows of good creditable dealers in Texas or Louisiana that sell at MRSP please let me know for the next time. As apparently these are the only States that Sales Tax can be reclaimed from when exporting. If only he had said that 4.5 months ago instead of agreeing to a deal he had no intention of honouring and grabbing the deposit it could have been a lot easier.
    Salesman first class all down to GM.

    Thanks,

    Should have talked to you before I placed my order dude! Seems to me that they must be pulling this crap on a bunch of people. Based on past experience I have pretty low standards for car dealerships but this stuff is flat out unacceptable.

    Wow man, it's hard enough working with out of state dealers - out of country would probably be too much for me. Good luck with that Biff. At least if you show up in person you can confront them regarding dishonest business practices on the show room floor - be sure to show up when they're really busy, and be LOUD about it :)

    If anyone needs it, my dealer in CO still has allocation i believe and doesn't sell over MSRP. I ordered and live in Dallas and haven't had any issues.

    Reach out direct and i can give you contact info.

    UPDATE
    After an week long standout and the day before we were going to file a petition to the court , GM contacted me and said he will sell for MSRP,
    Not the 10k over they were demanding

    It's a bittersweet because I was excited to kick some ass in court and expose this BS

    First impressions, its bigger than my 08 king ranch but fun to drive

    Crazy technology in the beast

    And it feels like everyone is staring at me....err the truck

    Thanks for the support men

    Off to get line x and tint and clear bra tomorrow

    And
    AUTONATION should be ashamed of these themselves , they suck big donkey dick
