[ColoradoBadsquatch2044]

Anyone else currently going through the finance portion of this journey and receiving an incredibly low trade in offer from Granger?

Granger was clear in their original Grangetober post that the trade in values would be low. Around black book prices I think. This is due to the extremly good deal we are getting on the Bronco. They don't have the room to play with trade-in deals.
I plan to check Carvana and others to see what those deals would look like.

Ask granger. They gave me the rail car info

i just emailed Samantha and she couldn't give me a rail car number. Maybe im not even on the train yet. Blend date 4/11, modules 4/13, still says in production on both back door and reservation tracking systems
I also tried chat and they said it was "in production" and estimated dealership delivery of 5/2 to 5/8

I don't understand what is going on? I am reading about all the broncos en route to Granger from various blend dates before and after mine. I had a blend date of 4/11 and modules appeared on 4/13.
I have not received a build email
On the order managment page (backdoor link) it says "in production"
on my ford app it says "in production"
on the Ford vehicle order tracking link it says "in production" and the last day it says the page was updated was 4/11/23

I contacted ford on chat and they said "in production" with delivery date of 5/2 to 5/8
I emailed Samantha and she sent me the same information exactly
I called Ford Marketing and they also gave me exactly the same information

Anyone else stuck in this limbo?

Mine just arrived at the alliance railyard, but I’m getting an eta of 5/14-5/27 does a vehicle normally have to wait that long to get picked up by the dealer?

Do you know your rail car number? I was built 4/11, shipped 4/13.
I was told my rail number is TTGX851849
Anyone else on the same car?

My guess is that your build requires a trip to the finish shop. Off the top of my head, those items could be Paint protection film, pin stripes, vinyl decals, or other extras.

i received my rail info from the finance team but Samantha should have access to the same info.

did not have any extras, no hitch, no stripes, nothing...
If Samantha had access she didn't enlighten me. She responded immediately with what looked like a cut and paste 4 rows of an excel spread sheet

I am supposedly built as well awaiting shipment. Maybe they’re stacking up a bunch of Granger broncos to ship all at once.

Is this order going to Texas. Already there?

 

[Squatched]

I’m not sure how this happened so fast but my 4/13 build got delivered to SAC 4/16. I wasn’t able to pick up until today otherwise I was built and ready to pick up within 5 days…

Is this order going to Texas. Already there?

This is going to Texas. It is not here. I am still trying to understand the rail car data from the automated systems.

My other order is headed to Granger Iowa. It was built two days later but it appears it will beat the Texas order to the dealer. That's good. It is for the wife. She always gets the new stuff first.

I was gonna say the same thing. I remember seeing fairly detailed info from Granger early in the game regarding how trades would be valued (but I never trade). It’s not realistic to expect top dollar (or for that matter, anywhere close to it) for trades when you’re getting the best deal in the country on your new Bronco.

I was curious about that rail #, system says rail car in in Alliance, TX. It would unload there.

Your other car shows up in Gibson, IN.
