I Turned Down A Priority Build and Now I Regret It

[Rednek]

ALL the sales people that gave themselves the priority build should read this thread and be ashamed ,Im the shop foreman and talk up the bronco to any who will listen and i would turn down priority also.

My dealer gave the priority slot to himself. Must be nice. Thank you for doing the right thing.

No real reason for saying this, just wanted to get it out there. I know I am an idiot.

In light of all the news this week, your post made my day. You are a good man.

My Dad co-owns a Ford dealership so I have grown up always loving Ford and their specialty vehicles. After starting a new job last year and seeing the Bronco, I knew I had to pre-order one and I really wanted it to be the first new vehicle I purchased. I pre-ordered within the first 2 hours and I have been patiently waiting, not really expecting any special treatment in the process. A few weeks ago my Dad called me and asked if I wanted to be the priority build. I was very excited but I told him to do what would be best for business, knowing that building mine priority probably wouldn't be the decision. I think they gave it to someone that ordered in March. I was happy with my decision assuming I would still get mine early, but now I think I should have just said yes

Still cant wait to get mine and hope it comes sooner than later.

Gave it to someone who ordered in March?! I sure hope he charged that guy some healthy ADM. In my opinion, that's the only justification for someone coming 9 months late and stepping to the front. If that buyer was a real Bronco fan, he'd have heard about it and decided to make a reservation long before March, even if he wasn't necessarily a Day 1 reservation-holder.

It's good that you didn't take the insider bump-up. Your early timestamp means you probably didn't give up that much in terms of your build date.

Its a good thing, had you not turned it down you would have had to bring a priority build for everyone.....

That sounds like an infraction worthy of calling Ford, IMO.

That's integrity.

Nah, that's well within their rights. At least I imagine he got a PB because he was In that first wave of emails.

I've learned a long time ago sometimes it doesn't pay to be nice. Sometime you just have to be selfish and go for it. This was one of those times. #regerts

Don't underestimate yourself, you're a tremendous idiot! lol

You may be without a new BRONCO for a while but you are not an idiot. You are a good business man. Customers should always come first, that's what pays for yours.

Ya know what I think you made the right decision for you and your dad. As a dad your always looking out for your kids but in this case it could have really pushed some of his loyal customers off...

Good call
