He read straight from the email that he had received and it specifically stated that no communication would be made regarding this change.

I missed them because I'm not super interested in reading a thousand posts on dealers in the States.

I'm not sure what you guys are looking for. Your earlier comments said you were just looking for a dealer with a straight answer. I'm not even looking and I found you at least one.

Are you looking for straight answers or a sweet deal?

We are looking for the best deal we can get, and if you were in tune (and i can understand why you aren't) with what we have experienced thus far, you would see that most dealerships in our are have zero interest in offering anything better than x plan. We are fully aware that there ARE many that will accept x plan. As for myself, the dealership that i currently have my reservation with has not even commited to accepting it. Are we good?

Aren't these the same $8.50 an hour people that don't care about their job according to some members here are totally unreliable? Are they OK to trust now? /s
Ford should be putting out an official statement about this and how/if it will affect the next steps.

I think it's pretty terrible that people (not you specifically) are shitting on the frontline workers that are ensuring our reservation gets where it belongs and have to deal with maniacs like us on a daily basis.

And the people I talked to all work for Ford officially. They're not dealerships that can go rogue. They have a script approved by Ford. So, I'd trust their information to be accurate.

I called and received the same confirmation that the deadline for switching dealers has been pushed back to 1/31/2020. I then asked if there will be an email coming from Ford regarding this change. He read straight from the email that he had received and it specifically stated that no communication would be made regarding this change. I find that a bit odd. I wonder if it's due to dealerships pressuring them against releasing that info?

When I asked if I could get it in writing both Reps I talked to said that there should be an update on media.ford.com but they declined to give any further information in regards to an official announcement.

I think it's strange they're not communicating this to the customer base and reservation holders. ?

Ford took the 31 Oct deadline off of their Bronco Reservation FAQs. It now just states that you can make the change by calling the toll free number. No deadline listed.

Whoa, that is pretty huge. Free delivery, no additional dealer markup and honoring A, D, X and Z plans. If my local dealer won't honor the X plan, I have no reason not to switch. I wonder if AZ charges sales tax if you pickup and take it out of state. If not, I would pickup, otherwise, just have it delivered.

Yes they charge sales tax, but normally when you get home you only have to pay the difference between the two, at least that was the way I had to do the RV I bought in Tucson, tax was 5.5% and when I registered in CA I had to pay the 2.25% diff.

I thought it was pretty insulting and demeaning when I saw that post. I just wanted to point out that people seem to be critical of someone when they're telling you something you don't want hear, but are OK with them when they tell you what you want to hear.

Really? I can attest to that. ?

Free delivery in any US driveway??!!

Hmm, interesting... One of my best friends lives in the Peoria area! But the $2k (plus $300 X-Plan) off at Granger will pay for that trip!

The question is what year will you get it and what deals will be available by then? My driveway is about 6 miles from Peoria Ford, so they'd make out on me.

 

[JesseS]

I have a dealer 2 miles from me who has committed in writing to all Ford plans (I have D) and no ADM or add on’s, so that is good for me.

But in my case, Peoria is 8.1%, which is more than what I would pay in my state--maybe $500 worth, depending on how much I spend and ain't no government gonna give back the difference. ?

Looks like that's an article about an article on Ford Authority ?

What's the source on this?

Maybe I don't follow automotive journalism but it seems you can just post whatever you want and that forums are good sources.
