Needing a little help from you wonderful folks. I purchased my ordered Badlands from my dealer on October 24. The MSRP had gone up about 3k since I ordered in March. I walked into that situation armed with numerous documents outlining how price protection works and my original order sheet. I spent 7 hours at the dealership...7 hours...
The best the sales manager would do was a locked interest rate from when I ordered in March, my $1000 rebate, and a verbal promise to send me the price protection check when it arrives from Ford within 45 days. He claimed the check is tied to my VIN and is guaranteed to me.
I've checked with my salesman once a couple weeks ago to see of the check had arrived, which it hadn't. This week will be the 45 day mark. I plan on going in to speak to the Sales Manager and demand my check. Do I have any recourse if they deny me? Is there someone I can contact who regulates dealership activities with the state? Do I get a lawyer involved? Ford obviously lets their dealerships run rampant and rip folks off however they see fit, so I'm just trying to weigh my options. I'm glad I walked out with my Badlands, but I'm still feeling incredibly angry with the entire ordeal.
