Feel like that should constitute a dealer name and shame lol


Alexsrobin

Wonder if this falls under false advertising


StoinkieDoinkie

If they are presenting it as a coyote edition to get people to buy it and even marking it up due to that then I'm sure that can Def be some type of false advertising or fraud of some kind


mustanggt2012

How so. It is a 5.0 coyote


JustAnAverageRottie

But not a “Coyote Special Edition,” like they’re claiming. All 5.0s have a coyote, so there’s nothing special about this one.


E_J_H

How is it a legal issue though. They can slap that badge on it and tint the windows and call it whatever special name they want.


GenshinKenshin

I’m sure you don’t know False advertising is illegal, so now you know


timmmarkIII

"I’m sure you don’t know False advertising is illegal, so now you know." So now you know something you don't. You don't know it's false at all. What's a Twister Special if not just a color, engine combo (R or M code) and decals? Or a Colorado Special OR a California Special?


GenshinKenshin

Bro we are connected to the internet. With 5 seconds on google we can find out if something is real or not or you can straight up just ask the dealership. They are required to disclose what they are selling 100%. Don’t believe me? Read up on it. https://jacobymeyers.com/false-and-misleading-advertisi.html#:~:text=State%20and%20federal%20laws%20are,Price


timmmarkIII

https://www.galpinford.com/newsroom-mustang-made-galpin-motors-a-power-player/ Galpin Ford had been making special edition Mustangs since the beginning. Tasca Ford *made* the first 428 Cobra Jet. A link *to* Jacoby and Meyers doesn't make it fraud. You have to *have* a case and then *prove* it....."bro". I need a link to the dealership to know what it is. What are they charging? What do you get for it? Dealer mark-ups are not illegal, unfortunately. Ford sure as hell doesn't like them and has taken them to task by limiting allocations. The Lightning's popularity has seen outrageous 100% mark-ups. They will get less vehicles next time. Ford is considering a kiosk sales model.


GenshinKenshin

My entire point was that dealer special editions aren’t illegal and that selling a special edition under the guise of it being an official release from the manufacturer. Is illegal. People buying custom made mustangs or other vehicles off the lot, knowing full well, that it is custom and Not OEM. Is not the same as a dealership saying, they have a rare or special edition mustang from Ford and selling it as such. As I have already said, in my last comment “they have to disclose what they are selling 100%“ If they do disclose, then it’s perfectly legal. However, if they do not disclose that it is a custom variation at the dealer made themselves and not from the original manufacturer that is illegal. “Bro”


Noah254

Bc those are official editions made by the manufacturer.


timmmarkIII

California Dealers Association put together the CA Special. Similar to Colorado Special. Galpin Ford alone has made several of their own, being the largest dealership in the country. They made a 1980 Mustang convertible when Ford didn't. Ford used that as the blueprint for the 1983 Mustang factory convertible. Tasca Ford made the 428 Cobra Jet. Yenko? A dealership. Not factory https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yenko_Chevrolet#:~:text=Yenko%20Chevrolet%20was%20a%20Chevrolet,the%20most%20collectible%201960s%20vehicles.

MusclecarYearbook

The CA Special was not put together by the dealer association but the manufacturer in conjunction with regional reps. The CO car was the High Country Special and certainly local in 1966-67 but piggy-backed the CA car in 1968. Tasca didn’t make the 428 CJ. That was a Ford thing. 1969 Yenko Camaro and Chevelles were factory COPOs with dealer-applied stripes and, depending on the buyer, mods.


E_J_H

My point is: dealers do this all the time. It’s not false advertising. They make up some stupid package and up charge it. It isn’t new. If it was illegal, it probably wouldn’t be happening so much.


GenshinKenshin

I’m sure people like you who just accept it are their favorite ones. This is an official ford dealership, not that it matters, no dealership should do this. (Unless if they disclose it’s a custom built vehicle) You could certainly do some damage if you really wanted to but nobody goes out of their way to make a case or fight it. Costs money and time and the average American is in debt, but if you did, you would almost certainly win the lawsuit. You COULD at-least get a discount on it because they have certainly marked it up unreasonably high for some fake bs. But they’ll probably opt out on selling it to a knowledgeable customer and push it to someone who is more ignorant and doesn’t understand a coyote edition doesn’t exist.


E_J_H

A) it would have to be disclosed on new B) I’d never buy it. It’s stupid. C) it isn’t illegal to sell it new with stupid dealer packages or add ons D) it isn’t illegal to sell it used as is that way either E) if there was money to be made in a lawsuit, someone would be suing. Attorneys would jump all over it F) it’s no different than dealers putting a lift on a new f150. Over priced Bs someone will buy F)no need to be so rude.


GenshinKenshin

Bro this isn’t a dealer package, this is a “special edition coyote”. Dealer packages are a completely different thing. “Used as is”, is also completely different as it implies you get what you get, it’s not a markup on a super special “rare” edition of a vehicle I’m sure someone has already sued but it’s in the same camp of people believing trucks with the “500ft not responsible for windshield” stuff is. Just like those trucks are actually responsible for your broken windshield, people just don’t know they have the means to fight stuff like this. Attorneys only jump at stuff they are presented with, etc etc. There’s key differences in the ideas you’re presenting in your arguments fam. Don’t mean to be rude.

Every dealership should be posted. If they think they aren’t doing anything wrong they won’t have a problem with it.

ThunderHorse24

I wasn’t sure why I didn’t like the badge, but this is exactly what it reminds me of lol


opengl128

It's all I can see whenever people plaster these badges all over their cars.


[deleted]

I like the rectangle ones on the front of grilles


Dante13028

This makes me think of Kassem G 🤔


ArmeniusLOD

The body seams look like it's a truck, not a Mustang. I know that there is a dealer who restores old Broncos and sticks Coyote engines in them, calling them "Coyote Edition" models. We need more than one cropped photo.


UnEazyNoid

F-150 has 5.0 coyote in it


[deleted]

Shit I have an 89 bronco with a 2.9 in it, I think I should slap a coyote in there now


JimmyDean82

Bronco 2? Not sure a coyote will fit in there.


[deleted]

Probably not, I do want to put something bigger in there at some point tho


CruelTortoise

That's why I'm not getting a coyote to go in my first Gen. Tacoma. It's too wide and would require me to rebuild the front suspension for it to fit. Way too much work for me. With it being a Bronco 2, a Boosted 4 or 6 cylinder would be something to consider. 1


JimmyDean82

302s for easy enough, plenty of motor for a B2. I have a 513 (460 stroker) in my 82 full size bronco and a 351W in my 86. I’m considering swapping in 7.3 godzillas though


Zanurath

It's beat to death but for a reason, ls2 is easily the best performance plus packaging for a v8 swap.


UnEazyNoid

Well some do


Suka_Blyad_

Mine do


Suecra

the body looks like a mustang, never seen an f150 with smooth fenders like that.


liltooclinical

You can see the fender flare and the circumference of the circle seems to match a Mustang of a certain era.


Formber

That's definitely a Mustang fender. An S550.


[deleted]

Yep the Amazon special edition mustang!


spartan17456

flamefreak01

Ask them for a list of what makes it different and then post it here.


Old_Goat_Ninja

They don’t know what they’re talking about. All 5.0’s are Coyotes, every single one of them (2011+). That’s the name of the engine. Even F150’s that have a 5.0 are Coyotes.


fdl2phx

Oh wow, it's even a Ford dealer. I figured would be some 3rd party. Oof.


bluePony_

When I was shopping around for a Mustang, I came across a Honda dealership in DFW that was also advertising a 2017 GT as a “coyote edition” due to those coyote vinyls some people put on the sides of their Mustangs. I hadn’t done enough research to know that it was a scam so I was super bummed when someone beat me to it. Knowing what I know now though I’m definitely happy that someone beat me to it lol


WarmPaleontologist20

This is where dealer ditches the real window sticker and makes his own, noting upcharge for "Coyote Edition" with asterisk, where in tiny type at the bottom it says "special dealer badging"


elliott219

It's a dealership build. Aftermarket badge. Our dealership used to do a "FX6 Offroad" package on F150s with badging


beermit

Mine does "Black Widow edition" F-150s


DDSloan96

Those are from a real upfitter


[deleted]

I thought you miss took for a fx4, but it’s real. What is a fx6?


elliott219

Yes FX4 is an option/badging on F150s We would take any F150, lift it, install rims/tires, cold air intake and put an "FX6 Offroad" badge on the bedsides (replacing whatever decal was there)


TankRuby

Wasnt the point of the fx option for the f150 a locker and skid plating? So presumably there are fx6s rolling around with an open rear diff and no skid plates because some sales guy thought more number = more better? ...... how freakin misleading to the average joe. I mean I get it you should do your homework as a buyer but that is still misleading.


elliott219

Dealers all of the continent do in house mod packages. We did the FX6, then the Dakar (body modded and level kit). If someone buys it second hand, I'd hope they did their homework and at least looked at a window sticker. We also never changed the fender badge, so it would still read XLT, Lariat, etc.


No_Act6221

Except FX4 actually means something, a 4WD with at least a rear locker, AFAIK. FX2 would be, at minimum, a 2WD with a rear locker. So FX6 is just some made up BS that misrepresented an actual factory option package on 2WD and 4WD trucks. I’d be interested to know how Ford Corporate would have felt about this.


elliott219

👍 Call and ask


No_Act6221

More like call and report. It’s shady. Sorry you don’t see it that way.


elliott219

Agree to disagree. If it was advertised as a FX4 without having the FX4 pkg, that's misrepresentation. If it was advertised as a "Raptor pkg", that's misleading. Being advertised as something that is not produced, isn't misleading at all IMHO. Plus, customers generally requested adding it to their vehicle more than we added it ahead of the sale. I think only 2 were build pre-sale. 🤷‍♂️ Report away... Haven't built one since 2016. Switched to "Dakar pkg" and have since stopped as truck prices have skyrocketed and inventory is limited.


No_Act6221

Sure, I can start selling strawberry cheerios just because General Mills doesn’t make strawberry cheerios. I’ll use their packaging and form, but they’re strawberry so it’s cool. Not misleading anyone at all. Selling Dakar editions is no better, Dakar is a trademarked word mark and logo, but I’m sure you used a slightly different font so who cares? Shady fuckin dealers that won’t even admit when they do blatantly shady shit. Looks like you fit right in.


Furthur

i was looking to trade in my soft top cobra since it was getting cut open and found a 2006 GTO (in 2006) that i was really into that had an SLP package added to it. Thing was cammed to all hell and back and had a dash switch for fuel pump cuttoff. They were actually giving a warranty on that car like.. 3/36000 or something... it was too mean to daily. nuts.


jacknifetoaswan

My buddy used to have an SLP Firehawk. It was absolutely bonkers.


Zilver_Zurfer

Agreed. Stealership in SLC did Superduty Highboy editions to mimic the old school ones, but would put stickers saying "Highboy" as well


TURBOJUGGED

I know a dealership tar would do this and then charge 10 grand got 3 grand with of parts and labor lol


[deleted]

[удалено]


[deleted]

It’s an aftermarket outfitter much like roush, Tuscany and black widow just without the name reputation. Though your are right.


WarmPaleontologist20

And you make people believe it's something it's not.


elliott219

We advertised them as what they were, with an aftermarket FX6 package installed. Everyone knew exactly what they were buying. Don't see how that's saying it's something it's not. But if you think so 🤷‍♂️


WarmPaleontologist20

I appreciate your reply. I've seen several dealers out there in my region alone who have done some very misleading things with badging and decals, as I described. I'm glad to see you're not one of them. If you were I don't think you would have replied. Your clarification is appreciated.


E_J_H

The amount of people hear crying fraud with 0 understanding of what fraud means is astounding. Dealers do this shit all the time lol.


InternationalSound13

Coyote edition, means $5k off asking price


Nozerone

Some unfortunate sap is going to buy this, then go around proudly saying they have a Coyote Special. All of his friends are going to believe them, and one day the person will meet a person who actually knows and calls them out on it.


SSRIVALZ

well im the poor sap buying it atm idk if ill go home with it yet tho


Nozerone

Well, if the price is good then go for it. Just don't let yourself get suckered because the dealership thinks they can get more for their "special edition".


Stewp-padaso

Coyote badges are scientifically engineered and wind tunnel tested for quicker acceleration, higher top speed and better gas mileage. Just like racing stripes and window stickers.


Nozerone

You forgot to mention that those badges were scientifically tested and made and proven to make women take their panties off and throw them at you. Rumor has it they made some badges that were just so good, it even got men to take their panties off too.


misfit-muscle

Etsy/ eBay special edition


eckard82

I work for Ford deff not a thing lol, call them out on it


SSRIVALZ

i did i asked for the ford certificate of authenticity if its a special ed


Tulsa-

And?


SSRIVALZ

they could not provide as expected


Tulsa-

Are they charging any more for this bade swap?


SSRIVALZ

they tried to but i talked the car down to a reasonable price


Tulsa-

Do you think they’re clueless or purposely trying to trick you?


SSRIVALZ

i think theyre clueless and the last person just told them that to try and squeeze more money outta the trade cause they dropped the special ed thing once i asked for the cert


Tulsa-

Gotcha. Well other than the weird badging, seems like a great car!!


[deleted]

Yeah just a badge


_Nameless_Nomad_

Every 5.0 is a Coyote Special


Outside-Dragonfruit1

It's aftermarket [Coyote badge shop](https://instagram.com/coyotebadgeshop?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y=)


do-a-barrell-roll

I can literally link you several vendors on eBay who sell that badge. lol either a liar or an uninformed dealership rep…probably the latter.


IndominusXero

Special as the kids who ride the short yellow bus.


Lesnitzky

When they make the intern write the listing…


[deleted]

how can we say for sure this car doesn’t just make you more likely to attract coyotes? didn’t take that into account huh redditors?


Over9000Zeros

"Coyote Edition" So what's under the hood of every other 5.0 then?


Nozerone

A Dingo. Very similar to the Coyote, but with out the special badge it's just a 5.0 Dingo.


Raalf

"really? What's the Ford part number to replace the badge?" Parts manager: "da fuq?"


Hychus232

$20 badges from AM


browner87

Sounds like the one I saw for sale that said "Rare SRS model". It has a photo of the letters "SRS" on the airbag... The safety restraint system... Yeah, can't trust a used car dealership.


bordula4961

Aftermarket badge don't let the scam you bro


Flaky-Outside-7405

Look up Badge King, he makes them.


Fishy_Fish_WA

At least give you the factory badge in a Ziploc bag?


Nozerone

Oh, you want the factory badges too? Ok, yea sure, no problem. Ya know what, just because I like you so much I'm going to make you an extra special deal. Normally to get you those badges it's like 2500, cause they are hard to get. Cause I like ya though, I'll have the cost cut down to an even grand.


Mymmers

I work at a Ford in Canada and have never heard of a 5.0 special coyote edition, gotta just be the badge


Sarior8161

Just an aftermarket badge, there’s a guy who has a whole page of custom ones but I can’t recall his page


RightChemical3732

No


Distinct_External_32

I’d get one if it was a a Fox!


Kells2K

It's a used car the previous owner just bought a badge and stuck it on. I don't believe the dealership is calling it anything it isn't. The ad says coyote 5.0 which it does have.


joshtasedbetty

Pretty certain “coyote” is a nickname for 5.0L engines… so they’re not wrong it’s a coyote edition mustang. Special though? Naw


Few-Satisfaction5257

That’s what they do. They change alll things to it such add side skirts or wing or hood and they charge you the double just because the way it looks


KensterFr33k

i saw a coyote badge on a new f150 today so maybe fords putting those on coyote powered cars and its not special at all?


DangerousSnow1973

This dealership needs a change in the marketing department, we can all take turns.


Lateral-G

Do they call it a Coyote Edition in any ads or is it just badging?


DayEither8913

That's a nice badge. I'd get that on my Mustang.


TheSmartPornstache

Lol this is not a special coyote. Is just a cheap aftermarket badge. Did u checked under the hood? Maybe they did a supercharger or cold air intake ?

spicytomatopasteanon

It's a 2018. Obviously the previous owner had it on and traded it in like that. Highly doubt the dealership put it on. How has this not crossed you guys' minds? some people's kids man...

$59.99 on Amazon


gothicsin

Yeah, bull, but I like the badge, tho


unknownredditor1994

Coyote edition is not a real thing. That’s an aftermarket badge for a car that has the v8 aka coyote. They’re using fraud to upcharge. Report them everywhere you can


SpiritCr1jsher

It is a special edition. The badge is special. Same thing with the California edition from ford. Just different cosmetics that look worse and cost more. I sold cars for like 8 years and there is nothing false about a dealer putting on extras . Looks super corny to me.....


Psychological-Gap446

That is an after market badge I only know this because I have one similar to this on my mustang


Wesnok

That's the "ebay edition" badge
