I finally talked to the general manager of the dealership and he apologized for the lack of communication and offered me a $1000-$1500 discount. I have until the end of the month to make a decision. I really don’t like the rounded front end so in my head I’m telling myself just wait to see the 2025.
Ordered 2024, scratch at delivery. Wait for 2025?

It was only a $500 deposit, fully refundable. I should have ordered both the Expedition and the Yukon at the same time and then decided.I would IMMEDIATELY tell that dealership to go straight to hell, don't stop, don't pass go and GIVE ME MY FRIGGIN MONEY BACK, LIKE YESTERDAY, WITH INTEREST & INCONVENIENCE FEE OF 20% OF THE PURCHASE PRICE....
or alternatively:
HAHAHAHAHA.... this is what I would be saying, all the way to my lawyers office !
If there's no other ford dealers nearby, then yea, take your money & run as fast as you can to the nearest Yukon/Tahoe/Escalade dealer
Dis you drive both before ordering? Do you like them equally the same or one over the other? Did you test a wagoneer, armada, or sequoia? Get which one you like more, these things are 80k, dont waste your decision on a car you don't rele care for

I can relate, took me two years to find mine. Granted, it is a fleet model that most dealers have never even seen, let alone stocked or sold, but still...

I mean...you can tell anyone you want anything you want, but there is such a thing as contract law, and I, for one, have no idea what Alaska statutes have to say in a case like this.
Out of curiosity, how did you come up with 20%?

I would drop by the paint shop. Ask to see the car and the before pictures of the damage. If it did not require reforming the panel and/or filler I would then judge the job by how well the paint was blended. Maybe you can get a concession in the form of services or extended body/paint warranty.

Well, here on the mainland, contract law (which varies some by state) generally says that if you pay for someone for something & it is not delivered on time and in the stated condition as expected, then an immediate refund is required, no questions asked, unless a reasonable explanation is offered, which is then up to the buyer to accept or decline.
And the fact that the dealer tried to hide the damage from & not tell the buyer about it is considered FRAUD everywhere I've ever lived...mainly because they paid for a "NEW" vehicle but would be getting a "Refurbished" one... oh no, oh hell no, & ho f&ck no !
And 20% is a normal INconvenience fee that is added to the full refund amount, as consideration for the time & hassle of having to go find another vehicle somewhere else... call it "pain & suffering" or "mental anguish" or whatever term you wanna use, but it is a fairly standard practice in most places...
Although I am NOT a lawyer, I have studied contract law & execution quite extensively through my dealings with tons of major companies...
However, my daughter IS a corporate lawyer, and she concurs with what I have said here !

Except who pays for a truck in it's entirety when placing the order? No one. OP put down a refundable deposit. So they hadn't actually paid for the truck yet and are entitled to a full refund of the $500 and all they have to do is ask for it. A laywer will cost you way more than $500 and would be money wasted in this situation. It's all inconvenience at this point.
