Granger Ford - Changing Dealerships Thread

[Kris87]

All dealers know the holdback it is a percentage...3% total...

Not to nit-pick, but it's actually 2% now. Dealer earns the other 1% another way. The invoice only reflects 2%.

Add up another one. I just change my reservation to Granger as well.

Yes we are all aware of the but what does that mean to the conversation?

We are not pricing behind holdback and the forum members know that we are using the holdback to get to our pricing...

Another xfer to Granger here! Their reservations must be in the four digits at least?

Just made my switch to @Granger Ford today and received Alberts email. No clue how he/they will keep track of all of this. I reserved on July 20th and have been watching how my local dealers in Kansas City will react... I think 3 months of watching their sales move north is plenty of time to give them. Look forward to getting my Bronco and my 3.5 hours drive home.

Shareable Spreadsheet (with Zach and myself only too much NPI on it)​

Albert, I may have missed a page. Any confirmation the dealer change date has changed?

I have heard both dates from Ford orally, no written proof so I am staying with the 31st of October until they put something in writing to confirm otherwise...

We do not want to be responsible for someone waiting until after that date and get told it ended...

Still on the dealer end is this

Just changed my first reservation to @Granger Ford -- Reservation Number: 10190618

Outer Banks chosen at time of reservation, but will be switching to Badlands.

Add me to the list of folks who are switching. I gave up a front-of-the-line spot for this. I don't begrudge a business making a profit, but there's reasonable, and there's unreasonable. I appreciate the transparent, hassle free pricing....but I imagine that it's ruffled feathers with other Ford dealerships who are losing orders.

Yep. It's odd that local dealers won't even budge when I ask them to at least make me an offer to switch to them. I'd like to buy local, but these dealers won't even make me an offer to try to earn my business. At this point, they can get their feathers ruffled and it shouldn't matter to any buyer. Let them be ruffled. I'd like to tar and feather a few I've interacted with actually. LOL

Gonna be hard to get offers at this point. Seems like most dealers have far more reservations than allocations. No incentive for them to even offer a calendar.

Yeah, but isn't their future allocation dictated on how many reservations they convert to orders? I know these places only see the immediate future, but if they have some long-term view of this, they can still impact their business.
