Need some help Re: Reservation Transfer.

[cscherrer]

Hoping someone can offer some help / guidance.

I'm trying to transfer my reservation to another dealer (within the same state.). I contacted Ford at this number: Ford CRC (800) 334-4375 and the gentleman I spoke to said that transferring my reservation isn't possible and that I would need to cancel my current one and start a new reservation.

Is this correct? The person I talked to didn't seem to have a lot of patience and sounded generally annoyed. If there is no other option, I will just deal with the current dealership but this isn't ideal. I certainly don't want to cancel my current reservation and go to the back of the line.

Thanks!

Unfortunately that's what I was told a couple of weeks ago as well. I believe earlier this year Ford gave a deadline for transfers to be done. Now they don't do/allow them.

Transfers are closed, you’re stuck with them unfortunately.

Out of curiosity - why are you looking to transfer?

Honestly, I have very little patience for dealerships and when I placed my reservation I just selected the one closest to me without doing a lot of research (my fault.)

They contacted me shortly after wanting to convert to an order and at that time, I very clearly told them I didn't want to do anything more until I at least saw one in person. Well, even after that they continued to call, text and email me about converting to an order. I didn't really have an issue with that, they have a job to do as well. However, one day the sales guy called and left a voice mail telling me that they are going to cancel my reservation if I didn't convert to an order that weekend. After a brief and angry follow-up conversation with that salesperson I just felt it best to move on to another dealer.

Oh well. Stuff happens and it's not the end of the world.

Oh wow, really? that sounds very frustrating. Are you going to let them cancel it or are you going to convert?

This actually parlay's into my question - if you have a reservation but not an order, can they even place an order for Ford right now for a MY21? obviously the chance it'll get built is slim to non but is that even an option right now?

All great questions! I'm wondering the same. I guess I'll find out when the original dealer responds to my call! I started this whole process specifically wanting a MY22 so we'll see!
