Agreed, BBB did nothing for me on two occasions. Better off dealing with the highest level manager or sales manager at the dealership. They do have all of the information if you supply them with a VIN. They should have the original order dealer number as well. Go there in person as well. On the phone you will most likely get no response. Good luck. A lot of dealerships are very greedy these days and would sell for 10-20K over ADM to the first available buyer.
So looking at what's posted the vehicle w as sold July 19.
OP didn't go to the dealership until July 27.
Most likely scenario dealership sold the vehicle to someone else (either accidentally or deliberately) and OP has waited over a week to visit the dealership.
Going to be hard to get this one back.

it's funny how quickly the crowd jumps on someone who's been wronged by a scum bag dealership. It really shouldn't surprise anyone by now.
Sorry your Bronco was basically taken from you. I hope it gets rectified without too much hassle. Good luck.

Look and see if they ninja refunded your deposit. If they did not, it is a simple crime that they took your money and you received nothing. That is why the attorney general's office must be contacted.
When my dealership got bought out last year by another company, they had ninja refunded my deposit to my CC with no warning.

Ford just came out with harsher penalties against dealerships using brokers. This could get interesting.

Same. I reach out every three months or so. A basic “We’re still on top of you’re order, but know nothing. We appreciate your business and patience.” E-mail once a month would be minimal effort and bring a shred of goodwill.
I would be calling Ford and write a letter, possibly with an attorney, and send it to your sales person, the sales mgr, the general mgr, the owner, Jim Farley, Mike Levene and several other high level ford execs, CC everyone you sent the letter to requesting immediate resolution to your issue.

I've been calling and emailing every hour (no I'm not crazy just looking for answers) 7 different voice mails, no one calls back. I'm not even leaving shitty VM's (yet) just my order # and vin and asking for answers.
I would NOT leave swear, vulgar messages...then they have the upper hand. Stay PROFESSIONAL through the entire process....then at the very end, you can lead an attack on their social media platforms with reviews and such...strength in our numbers.

You must work for Grieco Ford in Lauderdale. Why on earth would I waste my time posting something?

My Bronco was lost for six weeks after being produced. I found it listed in a shopper’s database, they didn’t have it. Ford kept saying it was delivered. The dealer had no clue. I posted several places and a few sales people replied to help look if it was sold in different parts of the country. They also told of stories how there is no real good tracking.
When they started sending the pictures out, Jim Farley was posting on twitter how they were doing this. I thanked him for sending me a photo but mine is missing. Within two hours I was contacted by Mike Levine their communications exec. After a couple days he found it still at the factory.
The dealer was frustrated because the regional representative did nothing and they had issues before. I gave both Ford executives her name. So I would make some noise! Both of these guys are on Twitter and will answer. They were trying to end this kind of thing. Contact you state Attorney General. You had a contract!
I hope you have resolution with this.

I can’t imagine they sold it less than 24 hours after you were notified.
I do know that this forum cannot solve your issue. You need to be in contact with the dealership and Ford. I wish you luck of course. Tough hill to climb.
