So,

i went to SARAT FORD
245 Springfield Street
Agawam, MA 01001


online they had the BOSS at MSRP for a LS model, when i got there they would not honor the price, said it was put on in error by the guy from auto trader, which im sure they pay to put there cars online.

whats the legality of this, they have 2 boss 302a there and are trying to get 10k over MSRP for both while both are advertised at MSRP online

Contact the attorney generals office of Massachusettes. Somebodies got to call these dealers on these practices.

HA! Right in the ad it says "not responsible for listing errors"

Sounds like they might be doing that a lot just to get showroom traffic.

Check with the Better Business Bureau

EDIT: Looks like they have 3 complaints already : http://www.bbb.org/central-western-m...499/complaints

Hope they have a good supply of dusters in the showroom. 10k ADM so if you get them down to just 5k you 'got a good deal!' ... ya right. I have no way of knowing actual production figures but I'm guessing right now they have only produced around 1500 of 4000 for this year? I can see maybe some markup on the LS model as it's rarer than the standard Boss, but 10k over on the base Boss is just silly.

Folks who are willing to travel a bit and wait for this winter should be able to get at or near MSRP for a base Boss, not so sure on the LS. Just can't give in to these markups. You can always leave your contact info with them if or when they are willing to get closer to MSRP.

Let's see how fast the correct that error. Yeah right......Bet it stays as is. Then you may be able to use the fact they were notified and did nothing.....

Contact AutoTrader first, then maybe Jalopnik and/or Autoblog. They seem to put a lot of pressure on people who don't step up and honor their advertised deals.

I find it funny that they "aren't responsible for errors", yet they are the ones who manually input the information in.

I always call first, ask if the car is there, say what I will pay for it, and offer a more than modest deposit over the phone. It's straight to the point, either a sale or a no sale.

turn them in, one car listed in error is one thing, multiple cars with bad pricing info is a scam by the dealer to get people in.

PTRocks

They are right around the 2000 mark for the regular Boss, and about 590 for the LS.

That's how I ended up with a regular Boss, I had the deal all worked out for a LS Boss ,I get to dealer and they tried adding 5k to the sticker,needless to say after talking to people here they said the majority are paying sticker ,so I didn't bite on the deal..

Who knows maybe I will get lucky and the one i'm still waiting for from tasca that i already ordered for MSRP will be number 2012

its the standard boss in koni blue

ace72ace

Thx, when does 2012 production cease, Jan '12?

Bueller

Funny, when I clicked on this thread I thought it was going to be about TracKey....or lack thereof.

They should honor the price, as many have been going out at MRSP

ace72ace

Still listed at MSRP, they obviously don't care...

Glenn

as stated above call ford head quarters and see what they have to say. My guess they will tell you the dealerships are all independant. Shop around even in other states ....road trip someone will make a deal that you will like.

making calls now.... thats exactly what ford said

Sounds like this dealership is using the gray area's of the law and advertising to skate around honoring the advertised price.

This dealership doesn't deserve your business, even if they change their tune from any sort of pressure you create on them. There are plenty of dealers out there will to earn your business.

FYI - many dealers don't like your pre-approved financing, so keep that quiet until you get to financing. You might want to contact a Fleet Sales company or Leasing company and make your purchase through them.
