So, interestingly - I had two reservations; one locally, one with Granger. I canceled the former after making the latter, but the first still shows as greyed out within my Ford account.

Guess which one shows a pre-approval link for now? Hint: it's not the one in Iowa...
My reservation situation is exactly the same as yours, except I have pre-approval certs for both the cancelled early order and the active Granger one.

Nothing in there for me yet... I will finance through Ford if it is 0%. Why not? I am on my second expedition financed through them... $0 down and 0% interest... why not use Ford's money?

So yeah this is interesting. Thanks for the heads up. I think it is Ford just trying to get people to use Ford Financing.

Potential push back deadline date for orders now?
Why would it matter ?
It’s not like you are financing or purchasing it until it’s delivered... the February date is just some arbitrary date

I take this “approval” with a grain of salt
It wasn’t like they did a credit check on all of us to give us this credit approval. At least they better not have

Is Ford Financing any good?
According to a finance person I know, they doubt ford will be offering any special rates on the bronco (ex. 0% for 60 months). They think best rates will most likely be credit unions or your own personal banks.

Same as me I didn’t get one and glad I didn’t I got great credit but I don’t need it ran until it’s time to purchase the vehicle
It would be a soft inquiry credit pull which does not affect your credit the same way a hard credit inquiry would pull. (Hard is when you instigate the actual credit pull, example: going to the dealership and pulling your credit to finance a vehicle)

Got it too. Interesting that the last line of the fine print says “Take advantage of this pre-approval by bringing this offer into your authorized Ford/Lincoln Dealer by 02/28/21.”

wonder If this date means anything or not.
No. They're just automatically generated pre approvals. After the 28th, if you haven't had any changes in your credit there will probably be a new pre approved offer for another time frame.

I've used them twice in the past. 0% both times, pretty straightforward. Never had issues with anything. Their rates are very competitive if your credit is good. Obviously 0% was only for the highest credit, but even the next level down for great credit was like 1.9% which is still better than you can find just about anywhere else.

Now that I'm logged in for the first time in a while...

WTF they changed my reservation date from July 13th to the 14th
Happened to me too. Hopefully it doesn’t matter?

I was just about to say the same thing. But they tell you how much you can borrow, but not what the rate will be…hmmmmm
