Groove Ford. They never called me, so today I went back and spoke to the new car sales manager. He said they are getting 10 allocations for golden ticket holders.

He claimed to not know what his normal allocation is. He said all golden ticket holders will be subject to a 15k markup on a raptor but the ticket holders are free to not order a raptor and get a regular bronco at msrp, because the dealership keeps the raptor allocation.

Since my last post I've made a few phone calls and ended up in a department I probably shouldn't have gotten to. It was a very informative talk.
In that talk, I was told exactly opposite of what my dealer told me today. I was told golden ticket allocations follow the customer. And that dealer swaps could be made at any point prior to taking ownership. I was also told this had not been communicated down the line yet because it had not been finalized. The big thing I got from that talk was be patient. They will be protecting us.

So i communicated this to my dealer, and asked why would I agree to markuo if I can just move it elsewhere? He said he'd research that and get back to me.

Few hours after my dealer visit I get a call saying that they were notified by a zone rep that if I move my raptor order it cancels my reservation entirely and they keep the raptor allocation, and I won't get any bronco whatsoever. I know this to be false and am not thrilled with their "threat"

I am very much looking forward to Ford's announcements.
If you are right about Fords announcement I would leave that dealership out of spite

I would be on the phone with Ford first thing and move that reservation and Braptor tomorrow. Screw that guy.

Has anyone actually confirmed what happens to a Golden Ticket if I don't want it? Can't afford it? Choose to go back to my prior order?

Is there any point where the dealership gets to dip their hands in Hand Raiser allocations? Do we have any insight here yet? Or do these go back to Ford? Or do they go to the next person in line at THAT dealership? So in that case, they could just keep trying people until they got to someone willing to pay a large ADM (unlike this guy, who flat out refuses).

The official Ford email stated that the dealership's allocation would not be affected if the customer decided not to pursue the Raptor.

I bet there are going to be a ton of abandoned golden tickets, not everyone who raised their hand was very serious. I clicked on email because I was curious for more info, didn’t necessarily mean I wanted one. I got selected and now I’m interested, largely because I realize it’s probably my only chance to ever have one without a crazy ADM. I can probably swing the extra $20k at this time, but many probably can’t or won’t. I’ve also read that the allocations stay with the dealer. I’m curious how many hand raisers there ended up being, the less there are the quicker we should get them if Ford sticks to the plan of us getting them before the other allotments

Ford has said that the dealer allocation is not affected by the customer’s decision to go/no-go with the Raptor.

In other words, the allocation does not go back to the dealer and belongs to the customer. The allocation lives and dies with the customer.

This, I thought there was a Snowball chance in hell I would get one without ADM. Dealer hit me and said I was selected and he was charging MSRP.

Call Ford. That’s a blatant lie. I wouldn’t even bother speaking to that dealership again, unless I drove by in my Raptor to tell them it was MSRP.

Does anyone know if there is any deadline I should be aware of on my Golden Ticket?

Anyone have any leads from Ford yet on switching dealers?

I would confirm with you dealer that you want to order the Raptor and that your existing order has been put in Code99. Ford will send you and email when order banks open

I think golden ticket holders have 2 weeks to order once bank opens

thank you. Should I still let the dealer know even if I plan on switching once Ford figures things out?

I’d let them know, I’d also confirm they are sound MSRP. Once order banks opens up your dealer will be flooded with inquiries, if they are not already

Thats the thing they are asking over sticker and wanting to switch to a dealer that will match MSRP.

Any suggestions?

I see. I’d check back in a couple days and see if they still plan to do ADM with golden ticket holders. When I checked with mine when I initially got the golden ticket I don’t think they had a full understanding how they worked. They have since said they would honor MSRP. Good luck, it’s shitty that they would do an ADM
