Sorry to hear about the issues. You're being scammed now. You've already put in so much time and energy and are getting so close -- I say just power through and put up a fight. You will be glad you did in the end.

I'm reaching out to the dealer to see how they want to proceed in light of all this, thanks for the support everyone and I'll be keeping you updated.
Man, don't give up on the R. Take it where it goes, but don't ever give up.

I like to disassemble things.

Good move. Follow the trail to the source and then find out the motive behind all of this. If it is sheer ignorance and they actually believe what they are spewing - that's one thing. But if they are doing it to eek out of the deal to cash in on a more lucrative one, push back as if you have nothing to lose.

Cancel the courtesy delivery fly there and road trip the car home taking care of the break-in period, They will try to talk you out of it because the original story is bullshit.

Also a possible reason for this is they at least want it in the show room for a few days and realized that wont happen with courtesy delivery. I had to ship my car for this exact reason, but it was a small price to pay to get the car at sticker

That's what I'd do. Even if you are bluffing, watch the excuses come out then...

I admire you, OP.

We just got back from San Francisco. It was scary enough driving on your steeply pitched city streets in a rental automatic transmission Hyundai Sonata. I can't imagine you daily driving a GT350R with 3.73 rear and manual transmission on those double black diamond roads.

An update for everyone,

I contacted Ford Performance this morning regarding this situation and they of course confirmed what we all know, that these cars are 50-state emissions compliant and there's no reason why it cannot be sold to me.

When confronted with this the dealer backpedaled and are now saying they won't sell me the R because of their out-of-state sales policy, stating that I had told them the GT350R would be titled in their state when I had originally placed a deposit, A COMPLETE LIE.

From the initial contact that states my location to all of my subsequent emails and calls with the dealer placing the deposit and arranging the courtesy delivery to California, my location has been 100% transparent. I cannot believe people and places like this can exist using such shady business practices, and this was the treatment I received to an agreed ADM of $10,000.

I'll now be following up with Ford Customer Service regarding the recent events and for everyone on the forum, here's the dealer information if you'd like to express your voices about them on social media, yelp, BBB or what-have-you.

Thanks for the support everyone and best of luck with your cars, I wish I could've joined you.

lol what a bunch of dingbats. How stupid of a lie when that is obviously impossible if you had arranged courtesy delivery.

I wonder what they would say if you told them you would register it at your vacation home in Wyoming...

A WY dealer with an R allocation? Lottery? In any case, if you're going to lie (twice) make some effort for your lie to at least have some element of truth as to be half believable.

So you cancelled the deal? I'd make them sell me the car, just to rub it in their face. Plus you are paying ADM....blasphemy.

With an R, $10k ADM is a bargain. Unless you are best friends with the owner of a dealership, you'd be lucky to get a $10k ADM.
