Ford did me dirty

[HotdogThud]

How does a dealership sell a vehicle "in your name"?

I once sold my meat in @Rick Astley 's name.

Ford doesn't sell you a car. The dealer sells you a car.
I assume there is much more to this story and Ford has a good reason for what they are doing. You didn't say if you were out any money because of this? As others have said, just order from a different dealer.

Just stating that I have been a loyal customer over the years.

The list doesn't read well, it's like you're bragging or something.

I'm apparently not the only one that reads it that way.

ah sorry, no reason to brag not my intention in the least.

Exactly who called you and told you Ford wouldn't sell you your order because you are a flipper?

MSA Ford is where i had the vehicle ordered from. They called and said ford put me on a do not sell list.

So what was the one you ordered that was just built? Doesn't make sense if it's another 4 door and you're trying to get rid of the one you impatiently bought. I'd probably flag you as a flipper too. Some people don't even have their 1st ordered from '20 and that would be your 3rd.

I had a 4 door hard top on order with all the options I wanted. um no harm in buying off the lot never knowing if we were actually getting our order. I was told there was a good chance the order would be canceled. The one I bought I had spent thousand on it with upgrades. It was not a money making deal especially trading it in to a ford dealer.

I had been waiting for a year for my Bronco so I thought I would buy one off the lot. I bought a 2 door and quickly determined I needed a 4 door. I go to a ford dealership and trade it in for a 4 door soft top. I go about my business and get a call that my Bronco is built and will be leaving shortly. I go to a ford dealer and he agrees to buy my 4 dr Bronco.

2 weeks later I get a call to inform me that Ford will not sell me the new Bronco as I am a flipper and a cross border sell. The ford dealer that has been taking my trade has been selling the broncos cross border in my name WTF. I tried to talk to ford but they do not want to hear it.

Well after:
6 Shelby's
9 Mustang GT's
2 Bronco's
I will never buy another FORD again.

All I can think of now is this:

 

[mike8675309]

That many of the same vehicles? Unless you'rerunning a race team, then yes, you're a vehicle flipper doing it for profit.

I'm not shocked that he has had that many. My brother-in-law had gone through 10 or 12 cars over the past 10 years just because he likes cars. All have been Ford's as he has a favorite salesperson. He would definitely be someone who buys something, decides he would prefer a different body style from the same line, and switch things up. I do my research before I buy, he buys to do his research. Different strokes for different folks.

nope not a flipper. i upgrade usually every year. nothing more to the story.

All kidding aside, I’m guessing you must really like new car smell.

I saw you mention putting on a lot of miles before it disappeared. Okay, I’ll give you that as a good reason to trade more often.

not sure about the cross border part, but seeing as how this would be your 3rd Bronco purchased in what sounds like a short period of time, that meets the definition of flipping.
