Right? There's a reason they still have 'em.
I offered 5K over for one about a month ago out of curiosity and impatience. They told me "we're still 20K apart on that one. Good luck."
That's the other cherry on top...no, they refuse to have the MSRP conversation by any means that leaves a record. When it came down to agreeing it was always a phone call or a handshake. To the extent that they actively avoid it in any replies.
At original order, they wanted 2.5K mark up. I...
I finally received my order has been submitted email...
Making it oh-so-obvious that my dealership was waiting to submit customer orders to get dealer stock.
Screw you Phil Long Ford!!!
I'm out. Ensuring my order is cancelled so they can't keep it. Reporting to @Ford Motor Company (not that...
Because they can wait until the 11/21 deadline and instead get a bunch of dealer stock orders to sell with ADM.
All the weeks listed here...if you've got 30 allocations and not a one customer order converted, what do you get? Thirty 4-door soft top Big Bends to sell.
That's what my dealer is...
I started this as a "23 Conversions - Known Dealers Avoiding Conversions" post. And then, well...

I thought I'd start a thread for anyone that knows their dealer is actively avoiding the conversion process.
I'm sure this will get ugly, but the goal is just those dealers actually...
My dealership is fine. My individual rep is the worst. Made it very clear when I put my order in that he's "interested in making money now" and my order means pretty much nothing to him.
Now I've been blatantly ignored for two weeks. Email, text, even stopped by the dealership...won't even...
They get a little warning pop up that says it's a constrained item and to consider a dealer installed option. They can override it and select the tow package anyway.
I'm with ya...seems like it's showing up a lot now. I have all the constraints anyway, so whatever! 2 door, 2.7, mod bumper...
Don't do it. New B&P says it replaces the rock rails now. Basically you trade 1.5x vehicle weight bearing steel rails for aluminum hoop step mounts. Unfortunately.
How long did a "non-constrained" order take to get a build date. That is, when did you order the Tremor?
I want to get something to keep me from watching this Bronco mess so closely. I'll get it when I get it mentality is really hard right now haha!
Guess I'll have to on Monday. Disabled so a bit more than just a "stop by" for me, but it's what I'm gonna have to do! I don't expect them to be much help on the $1,000 Ford Accessibility program either. Getting this bitch converted for hand driving so I can get back on the mountain! Maybe the...
Phil Long is about 25K over for anything on their lot. For shits and giggles, I offered 5K over sticker on loaded Badlands. They told me "we're still 20K apart..."
My dealer is seemingly pulling the same shit. Will not respond and does not seem interested in playing their part before Oct 6. Likely to get as many stock orders as they can unfortunately. Seems like a really shady loophole to play in.
Dealership franchise laws suck!
