2022 Ford Maverick

It's funny but you have the power in your hand. All you have to do is say the word OMVIC when dealing with these charges. But if you walk into a dealership that has already rustproofed a vehicle before the sale.....just walk back out. Make sure you see pricing online first and they have to honour that....pretty simple. If they introduce anything into the deal afterwards it is going to be a problem. IF they advertise the unit with those features....then you don't walk through the door.

I don't normally buy from an ad. I see what's in stock. Coincidentally, everything in stock always seems to have VIN etching which is completely useless to me. If someone steals parts, that's an insurance issue, not a me issue. I don't think insurance gives me a discount for VIN etching so obviously they believe its value is close to zero as well.

It really depends on the car.....go buy a Corolla and your transaction price won't have changed much in the last 2 years. Want a Tacoma and you'll be paying maybe $2-3k more than last year depending. (only speaking for what I know).

I am suggesting you look up the price online. The online pricing must include all add ons and usually has to be competitive within the market.
Using this example (not to pick on one dealership but here you go):

Stratford Toyota is advertising this vehicle: NEW 2021 TOYOTA RAV4 XLE AWD
but if you go to Toyota's Canadian website the price is strangely $500 lower including freight. So I know with 2 minutes of searching that they have some kind of admin fee or etching or etc. If you looked at other dealers in the area you would see the same vehicle advertised (on their website) for $500 less. And that is the dealership you walk into. And dealerships must be able to get you the pricing they advertise.
 
you can sell your taco but then what? I thought about selling off my F150 but then what do I buy to replace, prices are up, wait lists are silly.

Friend is on wait list for a Maverick, she didn't have to pay anything to get on a list. Is this 3k deposit a dealership initiative I wonder? Good for them if they can get folks to do that, I would never give them 3K up front.

I don't need a truck anymore (no more dirt bikes) and my wife needs a vehicle she can get in and out of easier. Taco is way too high and the roof of the Civic is too low. Maybe a Rav.
 
Went into a Honda dealer a few years ago to buy an Odyssey. They had 43 of them advertised with pricing. When I went in, they only had one, which the dealer's wife had been driving, and had ~8,000 km more than advertised on it. Wife wanted a car that night, and we ended up walking.
 
I still can't get the picture of the old Ford maveric car out of my head...and yes it was a POS 🙄
 
The old boy (ford hater) owned a ford EXP for a bit. And a Granada.
 
ford had a monarch and dodge had a Monaco

I thought I'd start investigating the purchase, it seems like good value based on the MSRP.
The dealer doesn't expect to see any until the end of the year or early 2022, and they've only ordered one for inventory ?
Oh yeah, they want $3K up front just to get on the wait list, wtf ???
I'm not buying sight unseen and I'm sure not giving them a bag full of cash to wait indefinitely.

They also add a crap ton of dealership adders (nitrogen, tint, rust proofing, VIN etching, etc) to a car to bring up the sale price while clearly within the OMVIC rules.

No issues at Honda last year getting them to take those things off our new Odyssey (but they did add them to try). Few days before picking it up they sent us the final bill through email which had wheel locks and nitrogen adding another $400ish and they had no problem deleting those from the bill when I said no thanks (already on the car as it was already in stock at the dealer). Agreed that I'd be out the door if they tried to stick me with those costs though.

Depends what you have and what you want. Wife had a '16 CR-V with less than 50k on the clock, wanted a Civic Touring. Lots of Civics on the lot, no CR-V's, ended up with an incredible trade-in that more than got us out of a terrible lease she insisted on when she panic bought wanting AWD (long story involving living on a mountain in BC with snow).

Incidentally, the new Civic is a fantastic little car with a ton of tech and features. So happy to have something zippy I can borrow instead of the super-dull CR-V. I wanted to wait for the hatchback, but Honda wants a huge premium for one here ($8k, I think?), and the deal was too good to say no to...

Boats are worse. Lots of dealers are selling 2023 models now, as 2022 is already sold out. Dewildt in Hamilton literally didn't have a single boat for sale, and most other dealers have scraps or boats with no motor. Used prices are consequently hilarious...
