I'm a social media noob, how does one do this?

Very easily. Just google their name and you can leave a review for their dealership if you have a gmail account. If you don’t have a Twitter, I wouldn’t bother.

Speaking of signed written purchase agreements. I texted my order to my salesman and he submitted the order. It hasn’t begun production or anything yet but he did send me an invoice that breaks down my order. The same ones I’ve seen posted on this forum. Now it does say this is not an invoice but it has the line for a signature. Should I A) Go Down and ask to sign it B) Sign it on my iPad Pro and mail it back to him. Or C) This is normal and you don’t go down and sign anything until the order moves onto the next stage? I’m not clear on the process once you decide on your final build.

Is the invoice you're talking about just the one generated by Ford to calculate MSRP? I believe statements of MSRP don't necessarily mean anything with regards to the price between you and your dealer. Can't hurt to get a more formal agreement in writing.

It won’t be long until we can buy vehicles from Ford directly, and completely skip the dealership. It’s situations like this that help speed that transition along.

I feel for all the good and honest car salespeople out there, but I'd be lying if I said I'm not looking forward to a dealership-free future.

I'd love to hear the second side of this story.

I hope they make it right but I’d love to hear their side of the story. These are trying times for dealers as they have no stock. FYI I hate dealerships, I’m a real asshole when I buy new cars.

The title on the top left is Preview Order. Black and white form with the Ford logo on the top left with the dealership name, Deraler Rep. My first initial and last name and a list of all options with MSRP prices. Then a blank spot at the bottom with Customer Name Address Email and Phone number and a spot for Customer Signature.

I agree with you. Out of the 10+ dealerships I’ve dealt with in my life (across all different vehicle brands), I only was able to trust one of them. The rest tried to screw me in one way or another. I think it’s the nature of the business. They are middle men.

I agree and I don’t. I like haggling price.

Elon musk tried to bypass the middle guy and sell directly to consumer. He was told to take a hike . Cars have to be sold by dealers based on some legislation passed many years back

Those laws are purely protectionism at this point. Maybe they had a good purpose back in the day, but now you can research and spec out your vehicle online no problem.

If dealerships really do offer a valuable service, they should be able to stand on their own two feet without having the state ban people from buying direct.

Lol yes they do, I was across the street from one just yesterday, lot full of cars.
