Dealers (not all) are taking those with reservations and surprising them with a $10 - 65k ADM upon delivery in hopes they walk away and they can sell it to the highest/dumbest person willing to pay.
You can do anything you want AFTER you buy it. Ford can say whatever they want, kind of like the old signs, not responsible if you get injured on our property, meant nothing.
they should make a movie.
Stop it or you’ll make Ford cry.
Have used Rivian's dropped in price. I see them selling for $135k.
I saw a few sell for that early on. They're still doing very well. But do see several selling in the under $110K range, once in a while, one goes out closer to $120K. Over $120K is pretty rare. Probably depends on location and availability. One might be willing to pay more for a local one that they don't have to pay for shipping on.
Look, a Ford GT is different than a Lightning, and the amount of profit that flippers made on them is in a different league, but Ford has definitely done more than saber rattling enforcing a similar provision on the GT's... In at least two instances, suits were filed and settled at least partially in Ford's favor.
Autotrader shows 78, average price $125,000.
Ford lost in court on the law.
Asking price and selling price are often quite different. That's why I like seeing the auctions on these things. Gives multiple people a week to offer what buyers spending the money are actually willing to pay. There's plenty offered for well over $125,000, doesn't mean people are buying them. The two longest listings on E-bay are priced over that amount and have been sitting there for at least two+ weeks because nobody is willing to pay that for them. Sure, some dealer, in somewhere USA may get lucky and find a "gotta have it now" buyer that's willing to pay over $110,000. But with multiple auctions having now completed, I think we have a pretty good idea of what the "market" value is on them.
