Pinged a new dealer today...

[KyTruckPlant]

With all the excitement about allocation numbers, I reached out to my salesman this morning and asked him about their proposed allocation numbers and where would I be in the line at their dealer ship. I got the whole, we don't know anything yet about this or that. Honestly, I'm a little tired of knowing more than he does.

So I called around, and thought that I was calling the biggest dealer in Louisville, and it turned out I called one of the smallest by accident.
I asked for the Bronco specialist and got handed off to a kid that used to be one of my wife's former students.
I told him I was shopping dealers against each other, I'm A-Plan, so the deal doesn't matter to me, just how soon can I get it. Kid jumped through hoops, called me back 10 minutes later and informed me I would be #3 at their dealership, behind him (he was #2).

I might be moving my rez.

Congrats! Mine hasn't responded to emails in the last 24 hours, and I can't call until later.

Out of how many? Doesn’t help if you’re number 3 and they only have 2 allocations

The fact that a salesperson put themselves ahead of the customer is special.

he said they had 27 reservations. Not sure on allocations, but it's a small dealership, so I imagine that number would be pretty low.


Just got a call back from my initial salesman.
My 1st rez(7/13 23:06) FE is #3 out of 24 (pre) allocations for MY21
My 2nd rez (7/18) BL got pushed to MY22

I was going to cancel the second one anyhow, but thought someone would want to know the difference 5 days make

If the salesperson has a legit reservation number?

Assuming the 30% number then they got 7 or 8 allocated to them. Roughly.

The kid did tell me he'd give up the #2 spot for me, but I didn't bother to tell him that he probably couldn't because of the whole timestamp business

sure he could, he just doesn't submit his in the first allocation and lets them all go to customers.

Which dealer? I thinking of moving to Ruxer for invoice pricing.

I don't see a huge issue with this. At the end of the day they're still a customer and have still gone through the process. I'd rather a salesperson with an invested interest in the truck and the process than one who doesn't care. It's not like they're jumping in line because they're a salesman.

I see your point though. I may care more if I was one spot out from the allocation amount.

Now if there was a Bronco on the lot that I showed interest in and then my salesman bought it before I could that would be a different story.

My dad bought his expedition there, used to be Downtown Ford. It was a good experience minus the salesman writing his name wrong on the thank you card they mailed. I always forget about them.
