I offered a local dealership $1k more than MD offer as a "convenience fee" and they looked at me like i was crazy. Almost like they thought i was making up the numbers so I showed them the email and they told me to order from them. So i called Renae from MD and placed my order. My truck is being shipped to MD now and anxiously awaiting for it to get delivered to the lot so i can pick it up!!!
After I got my quote from MD, I reached out to a handful of dealerships that had responded to me in the past. I didn't ask if they could even price match, just come close so that I can give them my money. Not a single one bothered to reply to me.
Yep, had a few act like I was making up the price MD gave me when I told them I already put an order in. I was talking with dealers locally, some in Atlanta, Mobile, and Tallahassee. Would've been more convenient, but as soon as Aaron gave me the price and told me they could order with the Southwest Edition, I stopped looking.

That's a lie. They can do a Sold Order Protection document that locks in available incentives at time or order, or you can utilize incentives available at time of pickup. You can't do both though, only from time or order OR from time of pickup.
interesting.. what motivation would the dealer have to not lock in incentives? 0/72 was available when I ordered.. Maybe they just don't know about it.
I don't know. Either they don't know that it can be locked in or they're lying. Idk that it would benefit them to have worse financing for customers? And they may very well still lock it in if they're acting in good faith.
Did they run your credit when they locked it in?
Thanks, I ordered a day after you on the 18th. I'll have to talk with my dealer. I know the truck has been shipped and is waiting to get driven from the train to the dealer.
They likely get commission on financing. Some quotes I got before ordering with MD required I finance with Stellanis and included a 1k credit in the quote for doing so, others want you to use banks that are advantaous to them. If i dont use incentive financing, I will likely use my credit union.
Lol, and to think that it’s my second order after they messed up the one I ordered February 19, 2021!!
MD didn't run my credit, but they wanted a copy of my credit score or other financial capability. I would speculate that they don't want to run your credit this early as it would show as a inquiry, which will drop your score, especially if multiple people run it. In the past I have had my score drop when refinancing my house and shopping rates due to inquiries. Inquiries show up for 2 years, but i think their impact decreases over that time.
Yeah, i sent a screenshot of my credit score so they dont run my credit. There weren't any finance incentives other than 0% for 48mns which is still around so i just locked in the rebate. Hoping there are better deals next month!
