Price disclosure for chip shortage not very transparent

Asked by Rich Oct 07, 2021 at 09:38 AM about the 2019 Ford F-150 XL 4WD

Question type: Shopping & Pricing

I recently went to a dealership solely based on your website price.
The dealer upon negotiation increased by 5000 due to chip shortage.

Obviously I felt cheated, scammed and or taken advantage of etc.

I am sure a disclosure is somewhere buried in the small print but  I
wanted to let you know as a consumer I felt somewhat  taken for a fool.

Please be aware of this thru the lensse of a consumer>
We eventually went onto the next dealership and they didnt pull the
same trick as dealership 1.
Ultimatley we purchased what we wanted but Dealership 1 was a
complete waste of our time.

We ended any discussion at this point / However the next dealership was honest and held to their price. I never relied on car guru before but since this was a used car I felt it was rather convenient. All in all I got the truck I wanted -Just got side tracked by a dirty dealer taking advantage of two honest people. Thanks for the reply

Exactly, the chip shortage effects new vehicles only, as far as I know! Glad you didn't get suckered into the scam they were trying to pull!! Good job!! Jim
