CALLING ALL GRANGTOBER ORDER PLACERS

[Bestdayever]

Well, I'm currently taxiing on the connecting flight to Des Moines. I was supposed to get my two Broncos (04/10 4dr BL & 04/17 2dr WT builds) from Granger Ford yesterday/Saturday, but my flight was delayed and then cancelled. So I'm going today/Sunday 5/21 and will pick up tomorrow morning!

If you are looking for some fun places for dinner downtown Des Moines on Sunday night. Fongs Pizza.. best crab ragoon pizza. Or Exile brewing and Pub.. Get a "Ruthie" beer.. fun place. I lived in Des Moines for 60+ years and have seen it grow to what it is today.

Thanks for the tips. I just arrived downtown and am staying at the Hotel Fort Des Moines. We're in search of lunch. So... walking or Uber... IDK...

For me, this this trip started at 2 am. I had to drive from Laredo, Tx to fly out of San Antonio. If I had tried flying directly from home, I would have been screwed if the airlines cancelled again. Not worth the risk.

Wow!!! you are 4 blocks away from either of those two eateries. The Fort Des Moines is a beautiful place just renovated. Enjoy the City.

ZOMBIE BURGER is on the other side of the river about 8 blocks away. Downtown Des Moines is a safe place . Except for the Downtown Court ave. area.

Anyone shipping to Charlotte area get a notice from their shipping broker that their shipment is double booked? I just did, even though it is not. I am thinking that with all the Broncos coming out of Granger, it may look like that if several are going to the same area. Not sure how granular the notices on the board get with regards to destination.

My Bronco finally arrived at Granger! Who in finance have you guys dealt with, and how long did it take for them to reach out to you to finalize the deal?

Mine arrived last Monday. Still waiting to hear. I reached out via one of the email threads from earlier in this process and they said hopefully I’ll hear by Wednesday but they don’t want to make any promises.

Mines been there since the 11th, no communication from finance yet, they seem to be just pulling the closest vehicles to the shop. I think I've seen some people saying they haven't gotten notified yet and their bronco was delivered on the 5th?

Mine arrived at Granger on the 10th and I'm finally talking with finance now.

Well, we have our Broncos! Disclaimer: Paperwork was short and sweet. Our finance approval was Michael Newman, but only because we bought a backed-out (edit: not blackout) Badlands from salesman Hunter Talbot on top of my internet ordered Wildtrak. Tim Tinkle on the retail sales side did the final paperwork in a few minutes. You might be at the painted Bronco-building.

It took longer to take our photos and figure out why Ford Sync was not connecting to the phone portion of Android Auto. It's been almost three years... Now the journey home. Thank you, Granger. #gotitatgranger

Mine arrived on the 11th and I’ve done the initial forms sent by Carley. Samantha said I still need to speak with a finance manager to finalize. That was on Wednesday the 17th. I've followed up twice trying to confirm if I can fly up this wednesday night or not and haven't heard back. I know they're busy but there shouldn't really be a reason they can't provide me the Bronco on the 25th. From the timelines shared on here, as soon as a finance manager gets on the case it's essentially ready to roll.

Samantha on 5/17: "Your Bronco has not been PDI'd, but I can see what I can do. But a Finance Manager would be the next step. They will contact you either this week or next."

What does PDI mean?

Edit: PDI is Pre-Delivery Inspection

What is a "blackout badlands"
Is that a dealer option?

Nice Broncos!

I’m same as you - last Monday delivery still no word.

Woops! That's auto correct for a 4/10 Build that the buyer backed-out. My wife almost had her retail purchase before I could pick up mine. Our salesman took over my Wildtrak from the internet sales side and we dealt with the retail side instead.
