I was railroaded by my original dealership of choice, then railroaded by Ford's allocation when I switched to a good dealer.
The thing that drives me crazy is that my departure didn't effect the bad dealership. They still get allocation. So I moved down in line, but my old dealer gets to move someone ahead of me.
That dealership was rewarded after they cancelled my order in error. After they put an order on the wrong reservation, and after they got mad at me for asking for my $1000 deposit back after they screwed up and I had to work with ford directly to save my timestamp. The fumbled my sale, blamed me for leaving and ford awarded them allocation regardless.
So yes. I'm not going to help ford out by changing my order so they don't have to build MIC tops or 2.7l engines. Not when they are putting dealerships ahead of customers.
And I if I wasn't a 3rd generation Ford owner who has already owned 3 Broncos, 3 F150s, a cougar, a mustang, and the wife's two edges and two Ford Explorers, I might say screw it, I'm getting a used FJ Cruiser instead.
But I'm waiting for my bronco as ordered. I've given up on when. Maybe August this year, maybe may of next year.
I will say that there is a limit. I don't know where that limit will be, but every day and every time I visit this site my rope grows shorter.
