I ordered just 10 days before he did, and I do have a production date. The process makes no sense and Ford doesn't seem to have any sort of patterns or organization as to how orders get scheduled. Keep your head up, try not to think about it during your day to day. It'll happen and be a lovely surprise that way.
Totally. Prepared to not have it until Feb or March next year at this point. I wasnāt willing to wait until next November 2023 for a full size Bronco though (and even that was probably optimistic). Working with Granger and getting the 6% under invoice made moving to the BS feel not only like a better financial move but also a more practical one. For me the BS Badlands will do 90% of what I would want to do off road and actually fit in my garage.
Sorry to hear your Escape has been so poor. Iād wondered if an Escape wouldnāt have been a good choice for me, but the Sport was just such a cool vehicle. What did you experience on yours?
Did you ever get any answers? Have you seen the COVP email? Will you be one of the very, very few Sports to get rolled over to '23?
I texted my salesperson but didnāt get an answer. I did not get a COVP email and donāt know what that is. I think the last scheduling round was for the first half of September, so there should be time to get scheduled before mid October when the MY ends.
There is potential for those things to add time to the build but those are also usually dealer installed options. If it were me, I would order them separate and just drop them in when it arrives.
Another month to be built and then with the Arizona destination youāre probably only a week or two from delivery at the dealer. Good luck and I hope you love the second BS even more than the first.
Man, you're too kind. My nervousness is small potatoes compared to how you must be feeling. I like the first BS, but it was only ever intended to be a placeholder. It's pretty bare bones since I wanted a Badlands with Premium and Tow to begin with. The one being built feels like it's truly mine and for some reason, it feels like my first time actually buying one. I'm stockpiling accessories, feeling these jitters, drooling at the stock images of my build. I'm far more excited about this purchase than I was the Big Bend.
I have a pretty good pile of items in the garage awaiting a BS that will arrive eventually.
I ponied up the money and bought the LED Lettering last month. Think I could convince my dealership to install them as part of vehicle prep before I pick it up? Or will they usually not install any accessories until the deal is done? I figure they might be willing to install beforehand since I signed the build sheet and gave them a grand already.
My guess is that they will not install it because they would be taking responsibility for it working. That is pretty much how all mechanics work.
You don't get that email, the dealership does. It's how Ford tells the dealership you're a real person placing a real order instead of a fake order a dealership is making to get stock. If the dealership doesn't submit it or if something is screwed up on it, you will not get scheduled.
