This is why the current business model needs to change. We should be able to order directly from Ford and pick the dealer we want for delivery and service. Not complicated.
I understand, I'm not that geographically educated about that area. But, I just found out that the guy basically thinks those of us that went with one of the notorious three are knuckleheads. That's putting it on nicer words than I was first thinking. I can't abide someone thinking they are smarter than we are. Read post #11.
Which is exactly what I was trying to do. But when it comes time to order they just stop communicating. As I said I'm not going to beg for them to take my business.
Last I saw on his post at Avis he had over 200 orders still to fill and were āpacingā sales. I take that as they are trying not to get upside down on allocations. I think he goes by Josh Prieto here on the forum. Someone asked him the question here and he said I can try and get you a MY22. I think some dealers may not be responding because they know they donāt have allocation or donāt want to get upside down, or if you are not local patron. There are some dealers, as one experienced in these post, that are wanting their allocations to go to local customers. Mine included. They add $5000 surcharge to out of town orders. I am friends with the GM and he told me he wants his local customers to be able to order from him if they want a bronco, and not all of his allocation tied up from out of town buyers or by someone just wanting to turn around and resell at a profit. I would walk in a few dealerships within a 50 mile radius of where you live and see if you can look them in the face and get a straight shooter.
