Interestingly, Tom and I had a respectful adult conversation. I have no units available to sell and don't need additional 2022 allocation. Stay tuned for that thread...I hope you have a while. Why all the venom, BTW?
What is the source of this information (if I may ask)? This is certainly not the information I have. Again, I don't think anyone can say with complete absolution at this point and what is true today may or may not be in a month or two. All the best to all and hopefully everyone who wants a...
I was in no way trying to indicate that the dealer gets to keep the FE allocation if it is not converted. It is my understanding that FE allocation IS limited by dealer allocation, meaning that you convert orders for 3 FE's if you are allocated 1. Obviously, there is some conflicting information...
Look, the rules of game have been a developing situation (think all the X-Plan talk early on that has now been nixed). As of right now, allocation for 2021 model year has been estimated. It may change slightly for an individual dealer but not that much. If a dealer has an estimated allocation of...
A dealer must have allocation in order to get you a vehicle. A FE is the same principle, the dealer must have allocation for an FE in order to ge
I haven't been here on the forum long at all. There are no "scare tactics" at all. There IS a lot of bad information being circulated. Read post from...
A dealer gets allocated a certain amount of these units. That can change slightly as Tom explained, but not by a whole lot if your original estimated allocation was 10-20 units. As far as the FE editions, they will almost certainly build them all but again a dealer has to have allocation for an...
I agree on the learning part...I will agree it’s it’s a good situation when we can fulfill all the reservations we have converted. Being short on inventory is not what I expected a year ago. All the best!!
Noted. I don’t think there is a lack a transparency. If I was shilling or recruiting clients I would see your point. Until that point, I think I’m just a member posting like you. Cheers!
I couldn’t agree more. I am a likely to cancel my order as well as we are getting close to 100% converted orders to projected allocation. It is indeed a fluid situation. I respect what your dealership is doing and applaud you for being out in front of things. I think we would all prefer to have...
No, just don’t cancel your reservation. It is not a bad idea to go ahead and convert and let the dealer know you want a 2022MY and they can mark it as such in the order bank
Generally on a factory order a priority code below 20 is fine. It doesn’t matter much 10, 11, 12, etc. The vehicle will be built based on reservation time stamp and commodity availability.
I totally agree. I just think that there are folks switching dealerships not understanding that allocation plays a roll in whether they get a 2021 or 2022MY. I’m sure you gathered I am a dealer and I have an early reservation myself. I will pay MSRP to get a 2021 knowing I could save a few grand...
Good points. If you plan on ordering a Bronco and the dealer is using available allocation to take your order, it is pretty reasonable that they expect you to actually buy and take delivery of it.
They are not lying about Ford having a requirement that a high percentage (80%) of their converted reservations have to be delivered to the ordering customer. The “Non-refundable” portion and the amount is at the discretion of the dealer.
