So, it is their intent to schedule through October before August is complete? I suppose they would have to do that before offering people to changeover to MY23. I ask because they are only scheduled through the first couple weeks in September as of today/tomorrow.
They should be finishing up the scheduling of all of September's builds after this week. The start of next week they will be scheduling for October build dates. They usually schedule 2 months in advance.
You're always price protected to the price it was when you ordered the vehicle. If prices increase throughout the year the dealership should protect you to your original order price. The graph shows what the increase was before job 2 I believe. The video goes over that. I might be a little fussy on the amounts because that was back in March.
Not sure will they will fall with the current 22 orders, if they would be to the back of the line or based on their reservation number timeframe. Either way, they will need dealer allocations.
So COVP doesn’t really mean a damn thing because they’re still going to prioritize big dealers by sending them stock until they reopen ordering? Perfect.
Got it!
No, COVP is critical, if a retail order isn't COVP approved it's the same as not having an order. They might pull some stock "if" the dealer doesn't have any configurations they can build. Ford said "Limited availability" on "lower demand" models. So Big Bend, 4 door, 2.3L, auto, cloth top.
From that perspective it will matter, yes. I guess I have some skepticism on how much Ford will use it. Are we basing allocation off COVP reservation orders or historical retail sales? We all know there are specific dealers with large lines, I’m at one. If COVP just means they’re going to use it to verify how many real orders they have before going back to the same system from 21/22, it means absolutely nothing to me and many others.
If you have a reservation you can convert it to an order starting 9/12 from my understanding through nov
I understand that a percentage of the allocations comes from sales history and a percentage comes how many COVP orders the dealer has. So the more orders they have the more allocations they will receive.
I could be wrong but I believe ALL reservations if you were going to use it were put in by a certain date for MY22 and put in status 99. I don't think unconverted reservations is still a thing?
That’s what I wanted to hear! Thank you!
I thought so too. I didn't think unconverted reservations existed still.
