If I wasn't an hour north of the dealership I would be in there bugging the heck out of someone even though I know they have no pull. This part is harder than the first 450 days when you had no idea when it was being built. So close...trying to get it here for my wife's b'day next week.
I had to ask the dealer if there was a way to get it moving, they said it was up to Ford. I contacted Ford, they said delivery now expected between 1/31-2/6 and suggested I reach out to the marketing 800 # for some reason. I'm shocked how killer to my patience this last drag of the order is but the excitement is killing me.
Maybe would have been sooner if not for icemageddon 2023.
They said they had vehicles damaged from the storm. Super lucky
that mine just arrived this morning [without damage]. Thankful it didnāt arrive here any earlier than it did. Wasnāt expecting āan act of Godā!It may get to that point for me. Iām moving out of this state on the 22nd and my bronco thatās 20 minutes from me is estimated 2/18. When It arrived in the railyard 1/31. Iāll give it middle of next week and Iām gonna start bitching about $1600 for destination and delivery. Iām not trying to make a trip back here for a car that shouldāve been delivered well before
I wonder what damage that would have been?. I donāt think there was hail in SA or Austin. Ice and rain shouldnāt damage unless vehicles were on transport and wrecked. My Bronco arrived in Kirby on 1/27 so it sat there in the yard. Dealer said probably not this week.They said they had vehicles damaged from the storm. Super lucky
I think United Road must send emails for every load going to your destination dealership. I received 8 emails at once with every vehicles vin# that was on the truck that left CSX this afternoon. None were mine of course. I don't think there's much rhyme or reason with our position on the list. I am now 40 vehicles below the last one marked In Route. I wasn't that low on the list yesterday. As I was typing this, 2 more trucks left the rail yard with 3 more Broncos...still not mine
Any vehicle in Austin under or near to a frozen tree was endangered of getting smashed or scratched!
Man that's a bummer. Your sales guy can't get it transported to the dealership for immediate sale? Ford's estimate at this point is based solely on the fact that it's still at the train yard. AFAIK the rail company has to arrange shipment, but if the sales guy's calling the yard like look I've got it sold just get it here... idk I guess it depends on who's got the connections.
