I just got off the phone with Ford after switching dealers to Stephens Auto Center in WV. (Invoice minus $1000, & invoice on options)
Ford Phone Rep Said:
1) The $100 deposit I made on 7/14 went to my old dealer. Switching to Stephens causes Ford to automatically refund my $100 deposit. Stephens will follow up with me if they need a replacement deposit. It is up to their discretion. I spoke to Stephen's GM before the Ford call and he didn't mention the deposit. Sounded like a good guy.
2) Bronco First Editions - I discussed with the rep that several FE reservation holders had cancelled their reservations, so I asked if those First Editions would then end up on dealer lots for sale. The rep said that information she had was - CANCELLED FIRST EDITIONS WILL NOT BE PRODUCED.
3) When I spoke to the GM at Stephens he said that early reservation holders will get their orders pretty much in time stamp order and getting your orders filled has nothing to do with dealer allocations. Many folks on this forum have postulated that ordering through a Stephens or Granger would risk not getting the order filled due to allocation issues. This is not an issue.
4) Changing dealers TWICE - The Ford rep said you can change your dealer a second time, but the second time is a different more time consuming process that takes a few days. Doing it the first time only takes a few minutes on the phone
5) Changing models - YES, you can change your model to anything except a First Edition or switch from Bronco to Bronco Sport. If you reserved a 2 Dr Base, you can order a 4 Dr Badlands come December.
