CALLING ALL GRANGTOBER ORDER PLACERS

[JKryptonite]

You are correct, and I want to be as understanding now as I have been for the rest of the process. I just tend to think that there could be some improvements with the current communication process. I'm going to be in town on Friday, there's only 6 race red broncos on the lot per the pictures. I asked on Monday to pick up while I'm there and I've gotten nowhere with an firm answer. If the answer is NO then ok I'll schedule another 8 hour trip in the future.

I plan on purchasing more vehicles with them and I might just be hungry or hangry!

Same - Final prep was 5/11 and I'm a week away from getting on a flight up there so I need that call. I know they're swamped and I'm sure everyone prefers to pick up in the days adjoining memorial day weekend.

I got the call today to finish up purchase agreement ,10 am… I was excited to get it to my bank and finish the process, buy a plane ticket and be there Friday…. But no email was ever sent to me… so nothing to give my bank , & not buying a plane ticket before that …. I feel 6 hours should have been more than enough time , but what do I know …. At 4;30 I called to see if there was an issue w my info , etc, but was sent to voicemail …. So just wait and see I guess….

I drove back.

Flew in Thursday, picked up
Spent the night in Lincoln, NE
Drove to Salt Lake, spent the night
Drove to Sacramento for my kids event (Dead tired)

If I were to do a solo drive again, I would try to get to Kearney, NE on the first day. Lincoln to Salt Lake was a looong day.

I drive from WI to grand junction Colorado every summer to visit family… Kearney is a good spot … Nebraska sucks to drive across in general. Boring ….

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.

Why the weighing? I could maybe see it for a truck but an SUV is registered just like a car and there' s no weight fee like trucks. Even if a truck they go by the GVW and not the actual weight for the weight fee. Paid that stupid fee for years on my Dodge Ram 2500. Seems like you might have had a DMV worker that was misguided but that's not surprising based on my DMV adventures.

I found this online:
For commercial Vehicles (including pick-up trucks and cargo vans)
-A weight certificate. Only if your vehicle is a pick-up, truck, or will be registered as a commercial vehicle: commercial/cargo van, etc.

Don’t know why they wanted the exact weight of the vehicle, but they were consistent. Person at check in asked if I had the weight cert, person at counter said I needed it, and person doing the vehicle inspection took it. Person at the scale asked if I was registering an out of stat

I though it was mine but that one has LED tail lights. Going thru this like the jfk film I need the call!

Could have sworn I saw mine back and to the left.

I had a great conversation with Finance today. Appointment for pickup is all set.

My advice: best way to contact is send an email to [email protected] and they will call you ASAP. Don’t bother calling, they are absolutely swamped right now.

Just checked in and Samantha says Finance will contact me this week or next... I'm landing in Des Moines Wednesday night so... I need a ride home! Please don't make me change that flight

Come up on Tuesday and ride back with us!

Being curious, but when did your Bronco hit the lot? It seems some folks only have to wait about 5 days, while others are still lingering two weeks out. I know finance indicated they are having problems with Ford's system and applying our price protection discounts. Seems they have to do another procedure to push it through which can take an additional 1-2 weeks. I still have to wonder why FORD decided to suddenly schedule and process all of Granger's orders at once it seems. After the last update on allocations, I didn't expect to see this one for another year but glad it has landed none the less.

It just struck me that it would be HILARIOUS if the wedding registration we have for Samantha is incorrect.
There would be some random couple getting gifts from a Bronco forum and are all, "WTF? Who are these weirdos?"

Great,

Now I'm paranoid that this is what's happening...

If you look up the gift registry you will see a picture of her with the future hubby. That is definitely our Samantha.

Got my email from Brooke in financing this morning. Price is exactly what I expected! Flying in on the 25th and will be on the 10:00AM shuttle from my hotel to Granger on the 26th!

@Bronco LeRoy do you mind sharing your hotel and/or if there's an "approved list" of some sort that the Granger shuttle will service? I'm getting close to locking in travel plans.

Thanks in advance!

I don't have the list. I booked one randomly that was close to the airport with an airport shuttle thinking I could always go back to the airport for pick-up by Granger. When I talked to Granger and told her where I was staying she that that would work and she booked me a pick up time from the hotel. I'm staying at Baymont by Wyndham-Des Moines Airport.

If you look at the Granger website under "meet our staff", you will see Samantha.
