Prediction: The 21s will be infamous. Once they fix all the items that he identified as later solutions (22-23MY), nobody will want a 21. Hope I'm wrong and not trying to be negative. It just feels that way right now (towing, carpeted seat backs, roof racks, etc.).
Yep. Bronco promises to be one amazing ride, but apparently it won't be that until 2022-2023. So much for all the folks clamoring about the "value" of owning a 21 1/2.
Yes. No doubt about COVID. I had it myself and I'm in International business, which is also impacted. I merely meant to say that most of my issues and concerns have not been COVID related, but planning, communication, etc. Should have been more clear. Best to you!!
Yep. Unfortunately, I've reached my limit with all of this. It's an awesome ride, but they weren't anywhere near ready to launch this bad boy. It's really a shame and inexcusable that they were surprised by the demand and caught flat footed while bringing back a legendary product. I know there...
I can tell you who not to believe. The dealer. :) Semi joking.
It's really all out of our control except to build a vehicle on B&P, order and wait. Regardless of what a dealer says now or at the time of order, most can and will play some games at the end under this system with a high demand...
This should be everyone's concern.
I have two friends who recently went through this exact mess with the mid engine corvette. Both were given commitments from their respective dealers upon ordering that their would be no ADM. They were fine with paying MSRP. In the end, when the cars arrived...
Are you sure about this? I hope this is the case. I know there are penalties for not filling a certain percentage of orders with reservation holders, but I had not heard they cannot mark up price. I seem to recall Ford saying they could not really control pricing at the dealer level. I'm not...
Agree. It sucks. Just FYI. My dealer ( I know them very well ) called me immediately and has been in regular contact with me and on the first call proactively said "you'll be one of the first people we call when we get the green light to order." I took that as a good sign that my timestamp was...
I'm no expert, but my reading of the memo coupled with previous information regarding the allocation process tells me the following:
1. Orders converted with a res date prior to September 18th will be used to calculate the 50% allocation factor to determine how many dealers will receive in 2021...
This is exactly right. I have an 8/19 reservation, but that does not mean I will get a 2021 MY or take delivery in 2021. It really all depends on the dealer allocation and where I rank in that allocation. Unfortunately, that information is going to be sketchy because dealers are incentivized to...
