Waiting room

[Meanderthal]

Received order confirmation from Ford today. Order placed on 4/30.

I assume a production date and VIN should be next?

Yes, but this is when it is in a complete black hole and you don’t have any idea when it will be built.

Did you order through a dealer?

Yes

Okay, second question for the waiting room… I finally have my window sticker and the MRSP includes the recent price increases which is a lot.

I ordered back on 11/2. They’re going to honor my price from ordering back then right? Or will I have to fight them on trying give me the recent increase??

My salesman says they will honor the price when you ordered. The dealership gets refunded the difference from Ford when it's sold to the person who ordered it.

Thanks for the info, I sure hope that’s the case. The difference is over $3k now!

This post contains the data to show your dealership about the automatic price protection if they don't understand the job or want to make unearned money from you.

You won’t be able to track anything until you get a production week with a VIN. Even then it is pretty limited.

Since you ordered through the dealer the dealer should be able to access the VIN and scheduled build week pretty quickly.

The dealer cannot access anything that doesn’t exist. Lots of people here have waited 4+ months to get a VIN and build date from Ford.

Today marks day 7 since my wife got her window sticker. In theory it will move to built today, or at least that seems to be the way it has worked for the majority of others.

Spoke with the sales rep via email and she confirmed with the sales manager that the order is indeed price protected, and will get the 1k off provided we take delivery on or before 7/5. That matches up with the terms of the offer.

There are so many variables and things that can happen between now and actual delivery, but I am pretty optimistic at this point. My wife may be too optimistic. Heard her blasting The Cure - Friday I'm in Love this morning

Wait? ! Is that my que ? Yeah still out here....
Ordered 12/13, still nuthin'. Just the circular finger pointing Ford-> Dealer - > Ford ->
Hopefully Adam CW, you won't fall in to a hole as deep and dark as the one I fell in.

We received an update today showing in production for our loaded BSBL, was supposed to be built next week. Of course, let's hope it does take a week, so we don't buy a car built on a Friday. LOL

What could go wrong on the day after?

Received an email today that my June 13 build week was pushed to June 20. Not surprised, but hoping I won't get pushed to MY23, which I'm sure will continue Ford's strategy of raising the price while removing features

Mine was pushed from the week of May 30th to June 6th just a few minutes ago. And I was so excited I had finally reached the month of production ?

I hope not!

The idea of ordering something, especially a vehicle, and not hearing anything for months is odd.
