I'm sure all six of the people in Nebraska sure are smug about it.

Bruh, Ford dealership on my way to work has 3 f150s out front with 70,000$ in the windshield, big and and bright enough to be seen from the road. You're the only one surprised at the price of a pickup.

Correct. But the point they aren’t FIRST putting you into a $52k truck before letting you OPTION the extended range is the big deal here. To get 300 miles in the Ford it’s $72K... to get 400mi in the Chevy I bet it’ll be in the low $50K.

Once people get over the sticker shock of paying $60k for the average Pick‘em Up Truck,

Its been made clear that the $40k will not have 400 miles of range. What’s unclear is how much lower will the range be, and will you have to option as extensively to get in the 300 - 400 mile range bracket as you do with the Ford.

Thank you. Ford is asking $72K for their 300mi variant to start, and this one will launch in WT config ($40k) with available 400mi pack (that will be nowhere near +$32k)... To moan about price here is really unwarranted.

I had a 3/4 ton Av with the 8.1L rust away under me and would have bought another one new if GM had seen fit to continue selling them.

$40k for a 400-mile range EV pickup is not expensive, Erik.

There is a cultural difference between USA and Europe, that I see in the comments here.

Dealer needs to either pay back the kid of give him a car, full stop. Their first fuckup was hiring this con man, and their second fuckup was letting him pull this stunt right under their noses. Either that or the whole dealer is run by con artists, which isn’t unlikely.

“Also people under the age of 18 aren’t allowed to enter legally binding contracts”

So, the “freelance” salesman dude did list the 2016 Mazda CX-5 in his bankruptcy plan (in October of 2021) and, as part of the plan, intended on paying $271/mo. on the reported $14,580 balance for the next five years.

Anybody who pulls the “Well, you technically, technically, technically didn’t protect yourself from my sleazy underhanded bullshit, which is the same as giving permission and I have no choice” card in these situations should have a finger hacked off with a pair of scissors, unless they’ve remembered to wear their “I…

Yes, agreed. The dealer can *legally* do this. It’s just scummy.

There are a LOT of idiots that think a handshake and a person’s word is binding.

As I pointed out earlier, there’s no reason to think the the customer just wrote up that blurb on the bottom without the dealer agreeing. Even the dealer isn’t disputing anything about that document, including that note. That strongly implies that they knew he wrote and signed that, but just didn’t care because as you…

This.

He had it in writing, but the dealership intentionally didn’;t sign it so that they don’t have to live up to it. Dealerships are bad. All of them. The car buying process is bad. THe people who post their “great car buying” experiences only call it great compared to other car purchases. If you compared that to…

See, and that’s the kind of legal distinction people are complaining about. The dealer ordered the vehicle on behalf of the customer. One could reasonably believe the process goes “Order vehicle, vehicle arrives, customer inspects and pays for vehicle”. But, that process misses the step where after the vehicle…

Nah, screw that.
