Bronco Orders can now be processed!!

[DealerInsider]

Any updates on x-plan or invoice price by trim level? I talked to a Sales Manager last week that said Ford “is” going to do something for x-plan, just not like some where there’s additional cash back- something like that, and we’d know when order banks open. Anyone have additional details on that?

plan pricing isnt showing in WBDO...they will definitely have a/z/d...but its showing NA on all 3

and just like that, system is down...at least i got to process and update a bunch of our orders...

Most dealers are saying they’re not ordering/converting til tomorow as this just went live in their system in the late afternoon today so they want to see it, play with it first to make sure before the do a real customer.

Mine was all ready to enter it, acted surprised when he said system still not ready

Did they give you folks "real" training or just a PowerPoint?

Not a cut

of course powerpoint...no phone calls...just an email with PDF's attached...

 

[DealerInsider]

I don't think I would have admitted that I didn't remember the trim level for my own reservation. Heh.

Well, actually, if I didn't remember, I would have looked it up before posting. ;-)

hahaha...for real...i placed it so long ago and it didnt really matter bc i work at the dealer...figured i would decide when the time came

I "love" that type of training.

Just got off the phone with my dealer. He said he still can’t convert until tomorrow?

i was able to convert 8 and change the orders to what the customers wanted until the system went down

Ooh what do the columns mean? Especially “Priority”

Huh. The "Priority" column that some folks don't think exists. What about that?

Thanks for the screen shot!

In a normal order situation, priority 01-19 is for sold retail orders, 20-80 is for stock...when we load up the order bank to work around constraints, we put constraint equipped vehicles at a lower numerical (higher priority) priority...this gives us a chance to get a vehicle with a constraint, but also get another vehicle we would want rather than a Ford spec'd vehicle if the constraint equipped vehicle doesn't pass the weekly order processing...

So do you expect the 2.7L to be a problem and late? I see 2.7L cars has 19 VS 11 for 2.3L, does that mean 2.3L will be filling your allocations first and then the 2.7L follows?

Generally speaking, If a dealer didn't like a customer or they didn't want to pay the ADM, can you give them priority 40 for example, and have them get their car last maybe?

What was the thread for announcing I am cancelling my order? Seem to have lost that hotlink.

In other news: great news! This is an exciting day for Bronco6G!!!!!!!

Other landmark days will be: Somebody posts their VIN has been created, first completed Bronco, First delivery, First person rejected at finance (kidding, nobody posts that experience!), and of course the famous first accident.

My dealer wrote me and said I should get an email and a call in the next 24 hours!
