Just got off the phone with my dealer. I am a 7/15 res date. He told me that I am #43 out of 86 total. They got 53 reservations by end of 7/15. This is a smaller dealership north of Boston. What he told me was that his "first round allocation was 23 units". He said the reservation to order conversion process will work like this. First, you will receive an email from Ford stating that you can now convert your order. This email will go to me and my dealer. Only then can I work with the dealer to get the order entered. My dealer said they are reaching out to the first 23 people to see who is converting to an order. He figured that I would be in the "second" round of allocation, whatever that means. I guess I need to wait until I get the email from Ford. I told the dealer if he is bored and wants to enter an order, then I am ready to go now. He said he would love to but couldn't. My plan is to just go through the process and see what happens. They said that when I covert the order they will want a refundable $500 deposit. I am good with that. Figure I'll enter the order and wait till May to find out when I will receive. If it is Nov/Dec. then I may need to consider a bridge vehicle. But, I am hoping my delivery will be more in the July/Aug time frame. We'll see how the conversion rate ends up. FYI - I am going 2DR BD, CG, 2.7 with Auto 4x4 and Mid pkg. Hopefully going 2dr and 2.7 doesn't push me out longer. Regardless, I'm not going to compromise. I'm getting what I want and that's final!
