Anyone near(ish) NY state offering below invoicing on orders? Can't even get the dealers up here to take the TL Control number. No negotiation what so ever and ridiculous markups.

Lol only 840 miles. Could be worse
That's one day. Red Bull and coffee are your friends.

I drove from Gupton to Boston straight through. 1100 miles. It only took 18 hours.

I don't know about you but my job doesn't pay $6000/day.

Does yours?

And zero hassle, zero drama, zero stress. They give you a price, you agree, and that's it.
They even pick you up at the airport. Ticket cost me $135.

True. I guess I'll just have to shoot them an email and make a trip of it.

Chapman of Horsham PA will sell you one for 5% under invoice.
Tom at Chapman is also a straight shooter. I had my bronco on order with him for almost a year until I gave up. ha.

Plug for Martin M at Dan Cummins in GA. Went with them for an JTRD AEV build - they are an AEV dealer. So far so good. Ordered 12/22 and build is essentially done this week minus bed liner waiting for spray. 4.5% below invoice with the TL letter. They are also shipping and doing registration for me in CA. There were zero deals below sticker out here in the west.

Contact @Koons_of_Tysons_Corner (northern Virginia) to see if Craig is doing anything below at this time and then weigh your airfare/fuel/lodging/convenience cost against driving to Tennessee.

It was worth a one way flight to me.

Picked mine up at Gupton last weekend and they couldn't have made it any easier.

$100 flight, they picked me up from the airport, $150 in diesel, a hotel room and 1200 miles later I still saved over $6K going with them.
I understand the pandemic has screwed this whole process up, but these posts are amazing that this is what customers have to do to get a reasonable deal on a vehicle. Unreal.

Rightfully so, we are seeing the death of the car dealership. This is proof.

Somewhere Elon Musk is smiling.
