Hopefully I'm not screwed, because what I have is nothing that states the 'final' price', just the VOC/DORAs.
Does everything really have to be explained to you? How do you think most sales start. With a PHONE CALL! If a dealer is getting a ton of phone calls/inquiries about certain cars and not others that tells them something.
It is not a legally binding contract and plenty of customers renege on deals and walk for whatever reason. It goes both ways, but it protects more consumers than it hurts.
Dealer isnt local they faxed me a document but its not a sales contract. Ive had sales contracts on car that dealers didnt have at the time they dont mean anything.
I ordered my car the day the 2016 Order Guides were released to dealers. Ford wasn't yet accepting orders - so the official order forms weren't yet available - so the salesperson hand-wrote my offer and acceptance of my deposit check on his notepad and we both signed it. One of the things he wrote, because this was an expensive car and the dealership was afraid I might back out of the deal, was "Price to be MSRP." More than a year later, how bizarre to think that a GT 350 buyer would back out of an MSRP deal!
It tells you people are interested in the car it doesn't say you can charge 40K over for it.
In many states, a "valuable consideration" (deposit) is required as part of a binding contract. That's why I always make sure the dealer cashes the check immediately, instead of just sticking it in the deal folder and returning it to me at delivery.
I love arguing on the internet its point less but keeps the mind sharp lol
Thanks for the feedback and fortunately never had to go down that road.
Even if a price increase is implemented after the original deal is consummated I suggest that the original price agreement would be applicable.
