Will do. Thanks for letting me know. After seeing a bunch of other people with congrats emails and updated Ford accounts I was starting to think my dealer was playing games with me somehow and keeping my WT on order and using my allocation for the raptor to try some funny business. I will keep you posted on when I actually see something from Ford.
I had a similar thought. Pretty cynical at this point with this whole process. Also concerned that my dealer just did not handle the WT to BR reservation conversion correctly. Guess we will see, but I know I will sleep better at night once I get the confirmation email from Ford.
Keep an eye on your emails today. I literally just got a confirmation from Ford that my order has been updated. It doesn't say to what yet, but I can only assume that is next.
Yes my order verification came back from my dealer with confirmation of my bronco raptor build on March 11th. It is my understanding that dealers or dealership areas were given an allotment of specialty vehicles. The Ford rep for the area was in town when I happened to go to the dealership before the Raptor orders became available on March 8 and my dealer found out he was eligible to get 1, but only by asking the area rep as originally they were not allotted 1. Seems like much has to do with possibly the quantity of sales a dealership does with Ford in terms of their allotment and how many are going to be produced which no one has been able to find out. I did have a prior Outer Banks Bronco on order but it was coded 99 as unbuildable.
Congratulations! I know the feeling. Its like winning a big lottery ticket... but you get to spend money... and your overwhelmed with joy.
Yes I was asked not to really discuss pricing and I offered to let them show it in their showroom for a week. I have no problem with this at all and I can say I was ABSOLUTELY TREATED FAIRLY! Other dealers are crazy and in it for themselves I will recommend Diehl's Ford Sales in Grantsville, Maryland to anyone!
I ordered mine on the 9th and I didn't see anything from Ford about an update until yesterday. I think they were just behind on getting my order and others updated. When I called Ford I gave them the order code and sales code from the dealer. If your dealer sent you that info you should be able to call Ford and they can at least confirm it is in their system. That is what I did on Monday and I literally got my confirmation later that afternoon. She was able to see that the order was received from the dealer. I was able to relax a little once I found that out since it confirmed that the dealer did send the order in and that they had it.
I talked to Karen a month ago, but really need to talk to her again. She opened a case for me and I need to know if it was her or my dealership that got both my Broncos built. She was going to try to split my reservation, which essentially happened. My dealership isn’t letting me take possession of both though. What number did you get a hold of her on?
I just called the general hotline and she happened to be the one that answered. I don't have a direct line for her. The other day when I called I talked to someone else. I am not sure if you can ask for specific people. I called early Monday morning and had someone on the phone in about 2 mins. When I spoke to Karen I was on hold for like 35 mind that day before someone answered. From both conversations it seems that Karen is one of the few willing to go to bat for customers though.
I’ve tried a couple times and even asked for her by name. They say “do you know how many Karen’s work here?” Lol. I’ll keep trying.
Non-golden ticket eh? what's the ADM for that?
Yeah, that is what screwed a lot of FE holders from my understanding.
She was very helpful and I feel she pulled this off for me. Would like to if it was her or my dealership.
