What dealer is this? It sounds like they would actually like you to refuse it! . Shady, but not unexpected from stealers.I only reserved a few of months ago in late March. A spot had opened up but I didn't get clear answers on where in line I was. Touched based with them today and found out my dealer sent my build off to ford already without consulting me or getting a down deposit. They said they liked my build, waived the deposit and give me first right of first refusal when it shows up....
Not sure how to feel about this. I'm not in a rush anymore to get my Bronco since I have postponed my overloading plans and preferred and thought I would get a 2022 based on how late my reservation is. Also received 0 communication that they were doing this which gave me no recourse to make changes since the build was submitted...
Island Ford. It literally sounds like that. They said they liked my build so much they decided to submit it without asking me for a deposit... or communicating anything beyond wishy washy responses or non answers to any questions I've had the entire time.What dealer is this?

Ha, it sounds pretty close to my build, except the Squatch. So, do you just have an order submitted, or is there a VIN and build date confirmed?Island Ford. It literally sounds like that.

For context its a 2.7 Auto Badlands non-Squatch Lux Package 4 door Anti-Matter Blue Hardtop
They haven’t contact me since April when they asked for my build details. They sent me a broken it’s ready to build link that I think has my VIN on it. I ended up emailing them my build details. No word since.Ha, it sounds pretty close to my build, except the Squatch. So, do you just have an order submitted, or is there a VIN and build date confirmed?

awesome, whats your build?!Well finally decided to text my dealer to see if there was anything in the system for my Bronco... And what do you know!? I've got a VIN and estimated build week!! Put the VIN and my order # in the tracker and it all comes up correct there!
Estimated build week is week of August 23rd, so still a ways out there. He said that hopefully it'll be 2-3 week transit which puts me in mid-September for delivery.

I can only answer the last question, and I suspect it’s dealer dependent… but I was asked to put down $1K when submitting my order in Feb. I don’t think it’s non-refundable but I’m not anticipating having to test that.Can a BC buyer clarify some details about ordering in Canada for me?
Do you get a VIN?
Can you track that VIN through Fords website or some other means?
Do you get a Ford Account or is that only for people who bought last July or American buyers?
Were you able to make changes after the build was sent to ford but before any build schedule/ date was set for your VIN?
Did you dealer request a non-refundable deposit when they submitted the build?
