I ordered over the phone after Ford assigned the dealer and i picked mine up 8/31/2022 at MSRP nothing added. There are good dealers there.How were you able to order it without a deposit?
Do you have anything in writing, i.e., not in electronic form?
I did all of my ordering in person at the local dealership and was continually bugging the salesperson that I worked with about it. Having an actual signed document as part of my order was as much for my protection as to protect the dealership.
If I were in your position, I would print out the whole set of email conversations and go talk to the dealer in person.
This. It seems to me they're breaking a contract and you have documentation to prove it. They may be trying to play hardball in the hope that you roll over.They haven't sold it yet, just promised it to someone who's willing to pay more for it.
That's my assumption at least. I'd walk in there with the evidence I hope you have of an agreement. State law varies but in some, even a verbal agreement is legally binding.. you're in good shape if you have documentation from emails to especially a signed agreement. Walk in there with something to back you up and hopefully they'll fall in line once they know you are for sure serious about your order.
I think some dealers have intentionally not taken deposits so they can at a later date say "this person wouldn't commit".How were you able to order it without a deposit?
The name on the sign doesn’t change the people inside. This is not ford this is a dealership issue. I’ve seen Toyota worse than this just try to get a sequía or Tacoma or 4Runner or tundra. Same deal.Go buy a Jeep or Toyota.
Greenway was the same. My sales rep took my incessant requests for updates in stride. This was my 5th car I've bought from them and I'm putting in an order for a Badlands with then add soon as the banks open up. There are definitely some decent dealers still left.You didn't look hard enough for the right Florida Ford dealership. Mullinax Kissimmee has honored all deals with reservation holders and been fantastic to deal with.
Have found doing a more public post like on Twitter and tagging Mike Levine Jim Farley and Sarah Holm got me some assistance when I needed it. Ford has been publicly saying they wanted to diminish bad dealer behavior. Actions speak louder than press releases.just emailed everyone on this list with screenshots of all my emails. will update if I get a response
They can't sell it before it's built!Just got my VIN a week ago and a build date of September 19 and today September 3 I got a call from dealer saying they sold my bronco to somebody else. Has anybody had luck fighting this and if so what are the steps. I have everything in emails my build sheet them stating I will pay MSRP and that I don’t need a deposit. Don’t want to say dealers name yet wanna leave all options open but if there’s nothing I can do I will let everybody know the dealer and sales person.
I think we found the troll!!!! LolThe fact you don’t want to name the dealership tells it all. Nice try I just don’t believe you
It doesn't say anything. The OP is being smart. The threat of unleashing the b6g hounds may be more effective than requesting capitulation of the deed is done.The fact you don’t want to name the dealership tells it all. Nice try I just don’t believe you
Agreed. Hell hath no fury like the B6G hounds. Once unleashed they can no longer be returned.It doesn't say anything. The OP is being smart. The threat of unleashing the b6g hounds may be more effective than requesting capitulation of the deed is done.
If OP was trolling they’d have no problem naming a dealership. Think about it.The fact you don’t want to name the dealership tells it all. Nice try I just don’t believe you
Same. They didn't even get the $100 since I changed dealerships before ordering. They were just glad to take an order from the competition.I practically begged my dealer to take a refundable deposit, but they wouldn’t take one.
