Of course, im just saying what's a few more days at this point versus waiting over another year? I was wondering why its a big deal to miss the first my22 build week by transferring (was that not the issue? Unless I misunderstood that. I'll be happy if they let us transfer at all.
Right, if my current dealer would confirm some questions I had, where I could make an educated decision on what to do, they at least had a chance to keep my business. When all they can answer with is "it's time to reorde", I'm not taking any chances with them.

Other Misc info, they have had >2000+ dealer transfer requests. Interestingly, I wonder if all of these go through the lucky ones may be the ones who don't transfer.
Now Iā€™m pulling out ALL my hair! This is exactly what Iā€™m worried about. If 500 people leave Granger, I might move up to number 50!!! Maybe Ford is doing me a favor by not answering the phone.

My local dealer has been great since the last time I worked with them. They have a new Bronco specialist who has been helpful. His view is capacity constraints on items like the hardtop will have far more impact for ā€˜22 in getting a Bronco, rather than a reservation order. Probably true, but they had a 2dr FE on the lot yesterday, and Iā€™m not giving up on a 2dr!

Just posted in a separate thread where I saw a link to this one. Sounds like my experience is very similar to many of you. Can't wrap my brain around why changing dealerships is this difficult, or why Ford doesn't have enough people to even answer the phone. When I finally got connected to a human, he told me 'there is a glitch in the system' that would not allow him to make the dealership transfer and I would need to call back. Since then, I've been unable to speak to anyone and just get cut off after waiting for close to an hour.

I was finally able to reach a rep late yesterday after trying all day and the phone line eventually going dead every time. She informed me that instead of taking 3 to 5 days to hear back from Ford after making a dealership transfer request, that it will now take 5 to 10 days. She said there is such a huge demand that they are overwhelmed. I guess the goalpost has been moved...

Let's be honest here, since Ford won't be. It's not about a "glitch". It's not about volume either, because as far as we know, not a single order has been moved already.

Ford had no plan for moving orders going into the MY22 switchover, and is still trying to figure out whether and how to do it. Your order is with a dealer, not with Ford, and that complicates things tremendously. That's what's going on here.

They have said that much. They actually have a group that would be approving it probably on a case by case basis.

They shouldnā€™t have changed the allocation system and Mike shouldnā€™t have said we could change our reservation to a different dealer. Mike should have kept his mouth shut.

My speculation is Ford doesnā€™t want to move an order if the original dealer doesnā€™t agree. Itā€™s technically their order, so there are probably even legal ramifications. Zach is a class act, as always, so moving away from Granger wonā€™t be an issue. Other situations, YMMV.

Not the case. My reservation is with Granger and Zach has no issue. I think it has to deal with the interstate transfer of orders. A reservation is no big deal to transfer. But once converted, it seems to be the hang up. I suspect if the transfer was requested among dealers in the same state, it would be more readily granted.

Itā€™s my opinion this week is when we will start seeing if Ford is all talk or walks the walk. I honestly donā€™t know what to expect and I hope Iā€™m pleasantly surprised.

Iā€™ve hedged my bets and Iā€™d recommend those in a financial/similar situation to do the same. I can always refuse one and Iā€™m certain that the dealer will have no issue refunding me and marking it up for resale.
That said Iā€™m still cautiously optimistic.

Thatā€™s wild. I donā€™t even know what to say. Other dealers are telling you they donā€™t want your business??
