Am I missing something here? Might be a question or a rant IDK

Been going back and forth on a Platinum for a week with a dealer. This morning he says the truck has "landed" and sends me pics. Since they are 90 miles away I ask for a firm written quote before I drive out there. After 3 hours I get the quote and the truck has 1,600 kms on it and is listed as a demo. That was the first I heard of this being a demo. Now they are sticking to full MSRP, having bought 14 different cars over the last 12 years, I have never heard of MSRP for a Demo. WTF? Is this the new way of selling cars?

Its the market. A truck I was looking at was a demo with quite a few miles and they wanted MSRP, and they would not let me use my Ford code.

When I was looking around before I realized the deal I could get from the dealers on this forum, I looked at a demo lariat Powerboost. 1600 miles. The sales guy said there’d be a “nice discount since it’s a demo.” He let me test drive and when I came back he brings me the pricing sheet. It says “MSRP: 68,000 - Demo discount $250.” I laughed and walked out

If the dealer never told you it was a demo truck, tell them to stick it up their ass and never deal with them again.

Well good news. Just signed a deal With another dealer. New truck, got $500 more on trade in than dealer one offered plus a 2% discount. All without asking for anything. So I just signed and now we wait until end of Nov. dealer two says they will not take advantage of customers during these unusual times. Guess who I will use for all my future Ford purchases

It really does make a difference if you can have a history with a dealership AND they value that relationship.
It's rarer as time goes by. And sorely missed in a market like this one.

I had a dealer outside of Atlanta try to sell me a demo lariat PB for 64k. Gave me the whole video tour and all. I asked to see the window sticker and MSRP was 61k. This was back in August. I now have a truck waiting for me at Granger with an sticker of 63.5, that with all incentives/a lucky PCO, look to be at around 54k before taxes etc.
