I have been told some interesting things while trying to get pricing while trying to order a new Ranger.
Here is some communication from one dealership. Has anyone experienced this???
"With the new Ranger not being out yet we don't know what the pricing or rebates are going to be so I can't send you an honest offer that I would be able to honor. I would love the opportunity to earn your business and sit down and come up with what your pricing will be once we build it together."
I responded to him saying that other dealers are working on providing me with pricing. The salesman sent me a text and said that no dealer has pricing information and that he is not going to lie to me like other dealers about pricing of the new Ranger.
I asked, "So does that mean that these sites are not valid???"

"Those sites are correct but they are not the exact pricing because of different charges that go to each state. they are also missing certain things that are necessary to drive a vehicle on the roads. that is a base base price. I would not want to price you something that is not exact. especially sense you are wanting a discounted price on a brand new vehicle. Other dealerships might just want to "get you in" with made up guesses on pricing and then waste a bunch of your time. I chose not to play that game. I am happy to give you a price when I can give you an honest one but I will not play stupid and waste your time."
