  1. Gillespie Ford charges 10 grand in dealer hardship fees?!

    It’d make my whole weekend if you did.
  2. Gillespie Ford charges 10 grand in dealer hardship fees?!

    Well...looks like I may have to figure out a plan B. Ford corporate was no help, Mike Levine messaged me a few times saying they were ā€˜working on it’ and then ghosted me, and the dealer won’t budge. I really hate to wish bad things on people, but if everyone at this dealership got genital warts...
  3. Gillespie Ford charges 10 grand in dealer hardship fees?!

    No worries, all good here! I'll own my part in this, I was naive about the situation when I expected transparency and thought we had a deal. I'm typically against online doxxing, but I think we all know that the internet is one hell of a tool, ie strength in numbers. If it helps draw attention...
  4. Gillespie Ford charges 10 grand in dealer hardship fees?!

    To be honest, I’m not sure yet. If Mr. Levine or Mr. Brownell are able to convince the dealer to play nice, I’ll still get it. I’ve negotiated down what I thought was fair on dealer markups and or add/ons before; ten grand, I’m not doing, and they made it abundantly clear they wouldn’t budge. In...
  5. Gillespie Ford charges 10 grand in dealer hardship fees?!

    Not that It matters, but since you brought it up, I'd like to think that so far I've "negotiated to success" quite well up to this point in my life. I've bought probably thirty vehicles in my life, but this is the first time I've ordered one direct from the dealer. I was naive enough to think...
  6. Gillespie Ford charges 10 grand in dealer hardship fees?!

    I tried to be reasonable at the dealer, but they were very indignant and essentially goading me to walk away from my Bronco. I don't want to raise hell with them if I don't have to, I'm just expecting them to be ethical. Not yet. I'm hoping that since it's the weekend, I'll hear something on...
  7. Gillespie Ford charges 10 grand in dealer hardship fees?!

    Yeah, as long as the dealer makes it right, I'm not looking to cause drama. I just want them to do what's right.
  8. Gillespie Ford charges 10 grand in dealer hardship fees?!

    That’s what I said. If they want to price gouge on their inventory, knock themselves out. But this isn’t part of their inventory. They did nothing. They’re essentially charging me ten grand to pick up my vehicle from their lot. It’s insane.
  9. Gillespie Ford charges 10 grand in dealer hardship fees?!

    No kidding. I saw that too. I don't understand it.
  10. Gillespie Ford charges 10 grand in dealer hardship fees?!

    Thank you very much, I appreciate it! I will definitely keep everyone updated, I'm not trying to get some sort of break, just the vehicle I ordered, for a fair price.
  11. Gillespie Ford charges 10 grand in dealer hardship fees?!

    Isn’t that the sad truth! It’s disappointing to see the rate at which we’re devolving into total shitshow..
  12. Gillespie Ford charges 10 grand in dealer hardship fees?!

    I’ll check and see what it is. I got a message from Mike Levine asking for my vehicle and dealer information, but he also said ā€˜negative reviews will make this harder to resolve’. Lol
  13. Gillespie Ford charges 10 grand in dealer hardship fees?!

    You're not wrong, lesson learned unfortunately. I'm not sure what exactly I expect, but I guess I'm cautiously optimistic now that I actually got a reply from Mike Levine responded. I created a Twitter just because of this and tagged Mike Levine, and he messaged me. Fingers crossed..
  14. Gillespie Ford charges 10 grand in dealer hardship fees?!

    UPDATE: I took the advice in this thread, and created a twitter (yes, I know..) solely so I could tag Mike Levine...and I'll be damned if he didn't send me a message asking for my vehicle and dealer information. Maybe there's hope yet!
  15. Gillespie Ford charges 10 grand in dealer hardship fees?!

    Thank you, very much appreciated. Sincerely.
  16. Gillespie Ford charges 10 grand in dealer hardship fees?!

    I pinged him and sent an email to Brad Brownel as mentioned in this post, nada.
  17. Gillespie Ford charges 10 grand in dealer hardship fees?!

    I used to be, sixteen years in the service will make you that way, but somehow my wife has softened me up...damnit.
