“Although dealer delivery fees are set independently by dealers, we are keen to remind customers that we have more than 180 dealers nationwide and welcome them to work with dealers of their choice,” said a Ford Australia spokesperson.
“We also have a new online configuration on ford.com.au that allows customers to enter their postcode, configure their car and get an estimated drive-away price, which includes an estimated dealer delivery charge.
“This configuration is currently available for Ranger, and Everest and Raptor will be added in a few weeks.”
When setting a Ranger price on the Ford Australia website, a dealer delivery fee of $ 2140 is listed, regardless of state or region.
Dealer Delivery is a catch-all cost that covers the time and labor involved in cleaning, inspecting and handing over the car to the customer.
These charges vary from dealer to dealer and can be set by the dealer to increase the drive-away price without affecting the proposed retail price set by the manufacturer.
