A dealer told me that in addition to the $715 destination charge, that Ford charges an additional $350 advertisement charge per vehicle. Never heard of it, is he blowing smoke?

SteveE,
That sounds a bit high for FDAF [img]images/icons/crazy.gif[/img] . California FDAF on Superduties is $80.00 [img]images/icons/laugh.gif[/img], a bit cheaper than most places. I would ask to see the dealer invoice or DORA to see how much the FDAF really is.

Ford Dealers' Regional Advertising Fund (FDAF) varies by region, from a low of about $50 to an average of about $165 to a high in one region near Chicago of almost $500. This charge is on the dealer's invoice, so there's no doubt they have to pay it. But you won't see it on the Moroney MSRP sticker. The invoice also has a charge for some gas/fuel - currently about $37.50 for a PSD.
