I'm on week 10 here, absolutely nothing. I'm assuming the only way they actually do anything for anyone is if you make it a PR disaster for them not to deal with you.
MD here too. Apple Ford wouldnt even return my calls after placing reservation there. Lindsay didn't know anything about bronco so I avoided them. Sheehy has screwed me in the past 2 times so I avoided them. Ended up going with Chapman for a clear deal, and they were the first to actually let me...
It's a conclusion that we have all came to, but one you have to reach for yourself. There is no santa claus.
I definitely agree with all you guys placing more orders, I did the same. I've had luck calling dealers and flat out asking if they have 2022 allocation still, and almost every dealer I...
Or they picked them up from other dealers/auctions in the 70s/80s and looking to flip them for 30-40k. Either way if anyone buys them for that it would be in Cali
So basically Ford has zero incentive to help us out in the end. Aside from twitter and calling Ford (both have failed at this point I'd say), can anyone think of a way to incentivize them to take action on these? Or a way to make it more costly for them not to?
I firmly believe that there is no process and not a single converted order transfer has gone through. Aside from the initial rejections, nobody has heard so much as a peep. I would not be surprised if Ford doesn't have a team assigned to this at all. Even before the 3rd party call center they...
All of the above posts have some good ideas and tactics, but they all involve time. At the end of the day that bronco will probably be gone with or without you.
July 2020 res and ive tried the bribery route all up and down the east coast, surprisingly not one dealer took me up on it (was offering 10-15k). Plenty offered me "cancelled" reservations, all 4-door. From what I have seen after looking all the way to west coast, a 2 door in 2022 will run you...
All these arguments about commodities extending delivery and dictating the price increases... Got my wrangler 4xE a month after I ordered it and under invoice.
Interesting, I was planning on trying the Levine strategy eventually too. Good to know in advance that doesn't change anything. We all know they punished the 3 dealers, guess they intended to punish the customers who ordered there as well.
Yep, F#$K Ford. I'm a July 2020 res that wont get scheduled until 2024/2025 based on allocation at my dealer and they won't allow transfers. I'm going to reach out to every dealer in a 200mi radius and offer $10k to whoever can get me a Bronco the fastest and then never touch another Ford again...
I called again today, just to annoy them at this point. My request has been in for almost 2 months now. I asked him to look up the date of my request and he just said "wow, crap". Still no word of any actually going through other than non-converted orders. He offered to escalate my request, I...
As a day 1 res I imagine you'd be scheduled next round (prob Feb) as soon as you swap to any build with a soft top (even keeping the BL/2.7). That said you'd be looking at a March delivery maybe? Then again who knows
I also have a 2 door reservation - I'm probably further back in line than you even though I had an early july 2020 reservation.
It's impossible to know or to guess other than to assume fucked. Basically as a 2DR all the #s at your dealer are pointless. Even if your dealer gets allocated 300...
