Don’t Want to Pay Over MSRP? Here’s How to Buy a New Ford & Avoid Market Adjustments
From inflated markups to “market adjustments” of up to $50,000 over sticker, we have all encountered ridiculous price addendums on new cars. I once saw a Ram truck advertised for what you could buy a Lamborghini for… That’s insane!
We assure you, there is a better way.
SO… how do you avoid paying more than MSRP? Is there a way to pay less than MSRP?
The best way to avoid over-paying is to custom order a vehicle. When you do this, you receive a fair, transparent price below market value. You can send us your desired specs, features, colors and more online by building it on the official Ford site. Or, come to our store and sit down with us to build a Ford from scratch. After we build it, we can print out the build sheet displaying all options and pricing to reflect the pricing displayed in the table below.
Do you have to put a deposit down?
Yes, we do collect a $500 deposit to be applied toward your purchase. The deposit is refundable when we are unable to put the deal together. Reasons that could cause this include:
- If the purchase is dependent on your trade after the new vehicle arrives.
- If your order never gets scheduled to build or you cancel prior to it scheduling.
Once it’s scheduled, however, we can’t modify the build. Deposits are not refundable if your vehicle has been scheduled to build and you decide you don’t want it any longer for any reason.
I have a trade. What can I do?
We anticipate that used car values will be relatively stable over the next few months. Therefore, it’s unlikely you’ll lose enough in value or gain substantial miles to meaningfully affect the trade-in value. We can give you an idea of the trade-in value on the day you order your new vehicle, with the expectation that there could be some decline in value with certain factors like time and mileage. If you are OK with the trade value and the prospect that it will likely change with time, then we can place your order after the deposit is taken. When your vehicle arrives, we will take another look at your trade within our appraisal software. If you are unhappy with the trade figure, you can keep your trade and buy your new order OR you can decide not to take the vehicle you ordered. In that case, you will be refunded your $500.
What about rebates?
Good news! On most models you will receive an extra $1,000 in rebates just for ordering! On top of that you can choose between the incentives available when the order was placed and the incentives in place when the vehicle arrives, whichever is better for you.
How long does it take to get the order?
This is a very fluid situation that is constantly changing. Some models, such as the F-150, are close to 10 weeks and some models take much longer (like the Mustang Mach-E Ext Range Premium). There are also weekly commodity constraints that affect what can be built, but we will always keep you in the loop in cases where you can make a slight modification to your order and have it built sooner.

What is Invoice vs. MSRP?
Invoice is typically anywhere from close to $6,000 off high priced vehicles like a loaded-up Super Duty® truck, or close to $500 off the most basic models.
The dealer still makes their holdback, but forfeits any additional markup between the labeled invoice price and MSRP. Given the current climate where dealers are often charging over MSRP, this is a considerable savings.
Additionally, invoice pricing is very transparent as it is clearly labeled on the vehicle build when we build your custom order.
Will Buster Miles honor X PLAN or A PLAN?
