Nope, today was the first I was aware I had a VIN! Initial email said delivery was 15NOV21, but with the Webasto BS, I figured I was gonna take delivery in '22. I'm honestly shocked its actually happening. The fact they gave you a VIN, but nobdelivery baffles me.
FWIW i picked a hardtop VB 2dr BL, 2.3/7MT with a short grocery list of add-ons to explore the Arizona mountains.
20 percent??? you made me snort. If memory serves, the last time I looked, dealer profit on a Ford Fiesta (a $20k car) was something like $300. Understandably the more the highly optioned / more expensive the vehicle the greater the potential profit margin. A higher end F-150 might be $5000 or more but NOWHERE and I mean NOWHERE 20%. Holdback is a small amount typically in the neighborhood of $800 or so.Interesting several dealers on here claim they make nothing on the sales of vehicles and claim 1 to 2 K looking more like the 20% I was thinking no one can stay in business on 5% margins unless your no touch working in your basement.
you are exactly right, it is difficult to find anyone who wants to be a technician NOW much less in the future. When I went through the Ford ASSET program 25 years ago there were 20 students in my class. I went to the most recent graduation for my area pre covid 2019 there were only 2...They claim to make $$ on service, which will be impossible in the near future as few people seem to want to work let along get their hands dirty these days. Will be difficult to find techs in the future
Considering the pic was taken at the beginning of the week, I would say planned.Are these planned build numbers or actual?
Also note the sales reported are U.S. Sales of 3,277 vs production of 6,072 ... U.S. sales may not include Canadian sales and may not include U.S. and Canadian dealer demos?These are from Ford's investor relations sales report - should be pretty accurate ... unless one suspects Ford of lying to shareholders and by extension the SEC ... cheers!
yes....I just want my damn Bronco
Any update on this for 8/9 week?MAP Daily Build Rates for the Week of 8/2
Looks like Ford reduced the number of Rangers being built, and increased the number of Broncos.
