Thought dealerships had the ability to refuse...just based on comments read
You'd need to direct that too one of the local dealer reps. Not sure how it why they would do that. Refuse a certain price deal, yeah, that I can understand, but a sale, no way.
Based on what I am seeing online, comparing the earlier projected production numbers to various allocations of other dealers, I believe we're all coming up short on our allocations. I don't think Ford is producing the number we thought they would. There's been many analysis (since Jan 13) that have stated that those with a 8/15 timestamp (and it's looking like some with an 7/14) won't be getting a MY21 unless there's a high level of attrition from folks cancelling, deferring to MY22 or failing to order (without cancelling). I am not sure if that's true or not.I spoke to Stephens on the phone yesterday. I have an early morning July 14 reservation with them and John said I was number 92 out of about 350. He said there were about 10 cancellations before me, so that puts me at #82 with a reservation made in the first 10-11 hours of launch.
Being 82 when they only get 70 allocations places me in MY22 which is a disaster for me. Unfortunately based upon this it seems like Stephens is under-allocated relative to other dealers. Never would dream an early morning 7/14 puts me in MY22.
I don't know if I would you use the word "much", but I feel our allocation will be higher based on the number of conversions.
If we only knew the numbers of 2.3 vs. 2.7, we'd be able to really answer that question. One must assume that there's a limited number of everything and everything is related to the original reservation builds. How many people ordered "X" and "Y" determined the pre-planning for production. By switching from "X" to "Y", it could short "Y" and make that a late availability item.
