Dealers not posting price on a '13 King Ranch

[34Ford]

Looking at Expeditions online to possibly upgrade from my '08 King Ranch, so I found a '13 KR at the Liberty Chevrolet in Villa Rica GA. Their ad says call for price.

I want a email price.

Not gonna happen. Got 5 emails from them saying come to our lot and we will talk. They are 250 miles away.

I guess I will look elsewhere. What your thoughts on these dealers?

They are about 4 miles from me. I have done some business with them in the past while working for Carol County School system. Never had an issue with them. It is only a phone call they are asking for.

We have the opposite here in East Rochester NY Ford dealer. Kitty Van Bortel Ford tells you the price up front and thats it. If you want to buy it, fine - otherwise dont buy it. No haggle.

Here they'll quote you a price. Go in to pick it up and they add $2800 in fees if you finance with them at 8.5%. Pay cash and add a $2500 "cash acceptance fee". They suck. Deal privately or with a rental company like Hertz who deals straight.

Read Liberty's Internet reviews then don't waste your time.

What I don't get is why is a loaded expedition not have a posted price and other cars and trucks on their site does.

There is only a few people interested in such a truck as compared to most buying xlt models.

The price is probably high enough to scare away the typical buyer, so it requires a "hard sell". You know -- "Sit behind the wheel, doesn't that feel great? This is the car for you... You deserve the best... You look great in this car..."

The options don't add much to the book price, but with the right hype, they feel they can get a good buck for this one and they're waiting for a guy just like you to come along.

I bought a car like that from a dealer - a 2010 V-8 Explorer Limited, with everything. And I paid a lot for it, but I wanted the last V-8 Explorer and this one was a honey.

That's usually is the reason

It’s a shame there is no more V8 Explorer, let alone Expedition. The EcoBoost just doesn’t hold up like the Modular V8 (4.6L, 5.4L, 5.0L) long term, more maintenance and issues. Not to mention it lacks the lively exhaust note and linear power.

I was in a parking lot in Sarasota a few years ago, heard this super sweet engine ... walked over and it was some kind of exotic sports car with a V12. I just had to stand there and listen to it. Guy gets out ... a movie star in town for the film festival. Didnt know who he was either but recognized the face. Man did that engine sound good! I asked him if I could drive it around the block, think I scared him - oops.

As far as the dealer fee's. When I bought the 2014 I kept specifying "out the door price, tax & EVERYTHING ... the amount of check I write to own it, drive away and not pay any more". Even with that they tacked on these weird fee's. I just kept saying "No, what is this? No. Take this off". They did.

Used car Fees from one Audi dealer owned by a large chain on Long Island, NY:

Union employee dealer prep fee: $685
New car detailing: $255
Customer acceptance fee: $575
Marketing and advertising (called Sales Fee): $459
Warranty counseling: $249
Cash handling fee (if not financed with them) $1200

Title, plates and license fee $150 + NYS costs of about $300

They told me the Cash Fee paid for an armored car pickup of my check.

Then there are origination and documentation fees for any loan you're getting through them, which are always over $1000.

"Call for price'...aka priced too high/looking to dump, carfax issues, someone smoked in it, ex rental, high mileage, Ford buy back or traded with 'issues' like electrical, water leaks, rattles or pulls going down the road. Stay away!

Just curious and not looking to be argumentative - but what difference does it make what the dealership lists the price as?

I mean they could list the price as $489,995. Does that mean anyone is going to pay $489,995? If its the right truck for you - the right equipment, color, miles, then surely you have a price in mind that you've already determined you are going to pay. If you are financing, then your bank will also have a say-so in the number. Shoot them your best offer and ask for a buyers order to be sent to your bank or credit union. Any and all fees will be clearly stated on that document. Wire the funds and not be out a dime upon pick-up.

Cargurus shows they've had it all but 23 days. That doesn't help much with leverage.

To curb some of the conspiracy theorists who are speculating why this dealership is being so nonchalant about posting a completely insignificant and 100% negotiable number.... they also haven't listed the price on their 2001 Chebby van, an 8-year-old Ram - even a yellow 76 Pinto. Heck, they couldn't even be bothered to take a simple picture of the Pinto.

They don't have a price on nearly half of their used inventory. Its their gimmick. Some dealers think ballons and window paint sell cars.

Well I have my answer from them. And it is:

Good morning. The price on the Expedition is $31,476.00 plus taxes & fees. Please let me know if I can answer any more questions for you.

 

[Plati]

They have a yellow 76 Pinto?
Must be the only one that didn't get rear ended and catch fire

 

[mquick5]

Well I have my answer from them. And it is:

That's kinda high isn't it, what's the book price on a 2013 kr? I know mines just a 2017 xlt el, for 32k plus t&t and they tossed in the Ford warranty 8 yr 100k bumper to bumper $100 deductible. Was listed at 34,495.00 They were hard pressed, but finally came to a deal. Same dealer I purchased my Roush Mustang from several years back.

I got this from another salesman this morning.

The price is posted at 29,595+++ . This is the nicest used Expedition I’ve ever seen!

 

[JExpedition07]

I don’t like squirrels, that dealer seems full of them. Possible they dropped it today as well though and corrected it. Looks to be a nice truck, price is a bit steep unless mileage is low.

 

[34Ford]

Hey can anyone tell me what that is under the 4x4 switch. The trailer controller is under the cigarette socket.

 

[Habbibie]

Looks like a megnatic phone holder bracket but missing the megnatic square/circle itself

 

[mquick5]

Price is dropping and milage is low for a 2013, but it's not even a EL model. I do like the rear entertainment, is it dual or just a single screen? If you like it I'd offer 25k just to see what they say. If they don't budge on price, and you really like it, atleast see if they will toss in a warranty.
