Waiting room

[Escape2Bronco]

I am out of the waiting room, as my BL arrived at the dealer today! A week earlier than the Ford Tracker said it would (7/28-8/3) . Problem for me is I cant even go pick it up with my foot in a boot and my mother in law is coming tomorrow to visit delaying my pickup even further. oh joy. lol

However, I figured I would put my timeline and railcar map here for others as reference. The dates to the far left are when i called CSX. My dealer did not give me any info, i never got emails, so all i had was Ford chat/phone and CSX as my informants lol

I guess traveling along I10 would have made way too much sense. Let's go to Miami via Toledo from AZ. I have to believe there are train tracks going through Texas seeing how I've been stopped at them for a long time over the years.

Had another random person walk up and complement me for the Velocity Blue color today.

It's a good looking color on the Badlands.

Anybody experience Problems with Chapman Ford in Pa? I seem to have run into some problems, now that my car is ready for pickup. Keeping my fingers crossed on this.

My BS arrived at the dealer, I'm going to pick it up tomorrow!

My sales guy calls me to tell they got notification my Outer Banks was built and I should have it next month.

Um dude, they just emailed me last week pushing back my build date to August 22nd.

He says he’ll call me back.

(me knowing it won’t be with good news)

I hate when I’m right. It is NOT my Bronco Sport that was built. And the build date shows what I have currently.

Sad

I ordered mine on 4/2 and i never got any emails and I call ford and mine says in production 07/07 and produced but in limbo now waiting on it to be released to shipping. I am in MN too. It seems like forever….good luck with yours! I ordered hot pepper red too. Good taste!

It usually takes forever and there's always the stipulation of Covid delays but I was surprised that I picked up my BS on 7/5 and picked my plates up from the dealer on 7/19. That was record time, even pre-Covid.

I did spring for the National Park plates, so maybe that's causing the extra delay.

Did you reach out to Tom? He is active on the G6 forum more so than here. He’s a good guy and should be able to help you. @dealerinsider

Thank you again, I'll reach out to him. I wrote a more detailed response to your suggestion in their 4% under invoice post. Hoping it's a miss-understanding.

Six months in the Waiting Room and I picked this up yesterday.

I can't say enough about how enjoyable dealing with Granger Ford was.

As compared to what @Bluebaru is finding at Chapman. I trust your price protection was covered. Passenger insulation panel included?

Looks great by the way!

I'm still waiting for mine to be shipped for over 2 weeks now lol. I told myself I won't worry about it, it'll be here when it's here. But I find myself looking at the ford tracker daily now looking for any type of update.

 

[klawrence27]

I got mine today too. Price protection applied, $1,000 offer applied, no hassle. Purchased from Donley Ford in Mt Vernon, OH. As others have said, it's definitely worth the wait!

Thanks, yes no hassles about price, they applied the Custom Order Rebate before I brought it up. None of the new builds have the panel. I had already ordered one as I suspect they have all gone the way of the engine cover. It was less than $60 shipped. I wasn't going to drive back to Des Moines for one to be warrantied so I didn't even bring it up with them.

Does anybody who picked up their order recently have insight into Ford Credit's current financing rates? With the feds hiking up interest rates I'd imagine the vehicle market is also affected. I financed my Big Bend at 1.9% and I'm slightly worried I won't get a rate anywhere near that when I pick up the Badlands in a few months. I'd love to hear what folks have been offered from Ford.
