CALLING ALL GRANGTOBER ORDER PLACERS

[dingle87]

Back in the day, Albert talked to me about including sales tax for my local county into my financing. He stated it was possible for them to do, but it involved them cutting you a check after the deal was completed, so you'd handle the payment on your own when you returned home. The way it sounded, they weren't going to be handling the tax payment to your local DMV/county tax collector, that is on the out of state buyer.

How are folks getting transport to Granger from the airport? Cab? Uber? Bus? Shuttle? Other??

I had to Uber because it was on a Saturday and they don't have the staff to run a shuttle. About $45 plus tip.

Do you know the hours they are open? I was told they are open 9-12 on Saturdays. Just a warning.

I think it was 9-1 to catch Samantha but I was able to pick it up closer to 3 due to flight delays. The dealership is open until 5 on Saturday.

The process was seamless. Ford even allowed the $2500 order modification rebate on top of the $3645 price protection rebate even though I never modified the order. After all this, I'll take all the credits Ford cares to apply!

Got at F150 Tremor from them last October since my DD was dying. Granger provides a transit tag. Once you have the title (?) you can register at DMV. At that point you your local state and county taxes.

Heads up if you are in CA: you will need to weigh your vehicle and do a smog check. Generally, these are both done/provided by your dealership directly to the DMV. Both are needed before the DMV does the inspection that is mostly CARB based. From what the DMV person said, despite most vehicles being 50 state compliant, that is not always the case. Also, be prepared to pay with a check, otherwise the credit card fees are tacked on to the taxes.

As a side note, I had surprisingly nice interactions with the DMV. Due to the different steps required, I had to go in/out of the DMV 3 times in the same day. Despite that, doing the weigh station, and getting a smog check done, the whole process was only 4 hours. This time I will get the weight cert and smog done before I go in and should be done in a straight shot.

I've moved on from Indiana and am somewhere in my home state, Missouri. I have no clue what the town name is. That robo-voice is hard to decipher. Been handed off to BNSF. Assuming Omaha is the next stop, but maybe the backup has forced a different route.

Kansas City, Kansas is probably next. That is where my railcar is currently sitting.

I started marking all the cities on the route, and it is a pretty straight shot from Chicago (Gibson Railyard in Hammond, IN) to KC.

And then I guess we then go north to Omaha.

Looks like another truck has landed at Granger this time with my Bronco on it!

Curious, how do you know when “your” truck/transport has reached Granger? Is there a tracker for that as well or does Granger just confirm directly? All I can tell is that my vehicle was offloaded from railcar (I think), but nothing more.

I'm only going off of the Ford site. It just switched to Final Prep so im assuming its there. I haven't heard from granger yet but will wait until they reach out.

I don’t know why I was optimistic the price of my Bronco would be close to what I was expecting right off the bat. Just heard from Shelby and there’s a $4000 price delta between what I had anticipated and what I was told. Maybe invoice discounts weren’t calculated yet or the full discount from Ford isn’t in but far from what I anticipated.

Should be very straight forward. Follow the price protection worksheet and subtract that from the current build sheet.

Just got my Assembly line photo! Cant wait till it arrives at Granger!!!

Where did you find this pic? Did Ford upload it your account or send you an email or something? Mine is built and being transported but I don't remember seeing an assembly line pic.

They sent me an email yesterday with a link to download the pic.

Does price protection not equal what your original price of the Bronco should have been? Just looking at a signed sheet I sent them from ‘21 and I’m seeing a large gap between that and what the price protection would equal out to.

I don't think it works out exactly like that. Somethings changed depending on the trim you ordered Like Hoss 3.0 on Wildtrack etc.

The numbers I got from Shelby were within $100 of what I had on a spreadsheet that has been evolving over the last 2.5 years.
Your starting point should be your most recent DORA from Granger.
