What I didn't want.
What I wanted
So I had one of those "nightmare scenarios" while ordering my bronco.
Long story short:
1. in February '21, my dealership changed new car sales mangers.
2. new manager demanded 2500$ down to covert my res to an order..
3. F'that, find a new dealer.
4. turns out my dealer already put in a 99-code order to hold my res.
5. with the help of this forum, I found two great alternatives, chose one based on distance, and struggled with Ford for weeks to move my res w/ OG time-stamp.
6. OG dealer was able to keep OG res, while I received a new res with new dealership.
7. I still get updates for my OG res even tho I've asked several times to cancel my order from OG dealership.
8. my OG res was just built (see snip above) with an 8/2 *order date*
9. still waiting for my *real* res to be built (6/29 In-Production).
10. I'm sad
11, I'm sure my dealership will just claim my unwanted bronco and sell for a chunk of profit while I sit waiting for the one I really really want.
12. anyway, I have some Willet bourbon I need to "try out".
{edit: one I didn't want the dealership put in the order, Outer banks 4-door hardtop; the one I want, Wildtrak, 2d, Lux.]
