Just like GM, Ford dealerships are independent franchises and are free to set their own prices. They can put pressure on dealers to not do ADM's, but ultimately as long as the dealership is selling enough GM/FMC/FCA vehicles in general...they're unlikely to step on their neck over ADM's on high performance Mustangs, Camaros and Challengers.

Anyone who says otherwise doesn't understand how dealerships work or is intentionally misleading or lying about it.
Thanks for the info. At some point I would think the sweet spot on the price/sales curve will get things closer to MSRP.

I won't even be buying one under MSRP.
