What Pricing is Everyone Getting? (I know that this has been discussed but can't find it)

What's happening now is a temporary aberration in the market due to the supply shortages. What you paid for your last Expy years ago, or even months ago, is irrelevant. I read an article on CNN yesterday that said 80% of new car customers on January paid OVER MSRP. Best option it seems, is to wait this out and buy later, if you can.

Or do your homework and find a dealer that is still under invoice. They exist.

Did you call Rodman in Foxboro or Tasca in Warwick RI?

I didn't try Rodman. They have never had decent deals, even in the good times. I'm going to wait this out. The 2018 Platinum is serving me well.

I can't wait this out when my kids are growing up and in their prime bonding years. It is certainly a need for me rather than a want.

I'm in the same boat so I bit the bullet sold my Explorer ST and ordered a Platinum Max. Waiting even a couple of years didn't make sense, I'd end up with a family hauler for a bunch teenagers. Only got 2k under MSRP but got a great price for the Explorer.

If you wait the new car prices will come down but so will the trade-in values. If you want it or need it now, search for the best deal you can get off MSRP and then let everyone fight over your trade in.

I have a 2019 XLT with most options and everyone was offering within $3,000 of what I paid for it. Carmax, Carvana, Autonation, Zoom, etc, etc are all fighting for inventory.

So I have never done factory order before....had stopped at local dealership a few weeks back, and plunked down $500 and placed an order at MSRP. We havent gotten the email from ford or vin yet. Then read about Granger which is within a couple hours drive, and got a quote for our same build at 5K under msrp. Called my dealer back hoping to get at least close to a match or explanation or something. I was told msrp is all they can do, that they don't expect Granger will stay in business, and saying I would probably never get the Expy. Granger seems to have a good rep, and seems like a no-brainer to cancel my existing order, and place it through Granger, as long as it doesn't mean I would get it MUCH later, or not at all or something. Presuming I would just go back a few weeks later in line, but there wouldn't be any dealer allocation issues or anything. Anyone have thoughts or experience with Granger?

I ordered mine through Granger on Monday after reviewing this and other forums experiences. I havent been told a timeline, but driving 4 hours from Minneapolis is worth the money saved.

Granger is using this opportunity to gain new customers and grow their allocation for the future. I think it will pay dividends for them later on, but your dealer is certainly entitled to his opinion. The same opinion that cost my longtime dealer a sale to Granger…

3% under invoice plus an additional $3,500 PCO.

I may have to go that route...Maybe they will get me more off since I am also planning to get an F350 Plat Tremor at the same time. (I have time...I wonder if he can get me a Raptor R at MSRP if I get both)

I just ordered xplan pricing for my 22 Limited today at my dealer in CA
