I've been on Laura Ford's case about finalizing my build by March 19. They converted my reservation to an order in their system, but are not finalizing builds until Ford gives them more information AFTER MARCH 19! Someone needs to point me to where I can find Ford's instructions to dealers for processing orders. As an FYI, below is the response I received from Laura Ford today:

"I do not know of that information. We are currently not finalizing any builds. We are taking the Ford.com pdf of the build you want for a preview of your future order. When Ford allows us to build them in Fords program we will be setting up final builds. When that times comes I will be reaching out to all my Bronco Orders."

Isn't them originally entering the order in the system finalizing them? The dealer's response seems nonsensical.

Chuckling... Insist they do yours before the 19th, be a total PITA, get the order sheets. If they are really clueless and don't input the others (if they truly are not finalized), you will be the only other in for the first quarter of production

You can enter an order into the system and save it without actually submitting it to Ford... I wonder if this is what they're doing.

You realize that any chance you have of being in the first wave (1st 3 months of builds) is gone if they don't convert by the 19th. On the bright side, if they have not converted, you can transfer to another dealer with a short phone call. Granger?

They sound sketchy on things...but when is your timestamp? They may just be converting all of their orders to get their actual allocation number, then finalizing the builds of those within their allocation...but no reason really to do that, other than pure laziness. They could also be converting everything in configs they want, and then poaching builds up to the 20% line that are built the wya they want them built.

What you're saying sounds like they're doing it the same way as everyone else. Reservations have to be converted by March 19. Sounds like they did that and you're asking them to do the next step which they can't until after March 19.

I don't think they're going about it the way other dealers are. I don't have a confirmation email from Ford, nor do I have a preview order with the build and pricing information. They never give me a clear answer about any of this, other than stating that they will finalize builds "when the time comes". The time is here!

What's the saying, "you need to ditch that zero, and get yourself a hero?", something like that...

Looks like his dealer is saying it would not be sent to Ford until after March 19th. I think that's where the question comes in.

I think I am in the same boat, are other people seeing their reservation change to an order in their Ford account?

When you log into your Ford account and go to reservations & Orders does your Bronco show up as an "In-Store Order"?, if so you order is in, if still only a reservation it has not been submitted and you need to jerk a know in their As*es!!
