Hey there everyone!

So I have recently put in a order for a Hybrid XL, i did this on 11/06. While I have been waiting I comb through this site every couple of days to see what new and helpful info has been posted about wait times and other info. One thing I have found, is people who have received confirmation emails (not build emails) anywhere between 30 minutes to one week after they placed there own orders in at there dealership of choice. I have not received any communication at all so this made me curious. I contacted Ford directly via chat to see if I could make sure the order was placed with them via the dealership. They say they need a sale and order #.

I then contacted my salesperson shortly after and asked if they could provide it to me. They say that "about a 1/3rd of customers haven't received that email". He assured me that they placed the order but he said that he would send me the order and sale # via text. Next day passes and no response. So I contact him again the following day to follow up. He's now providing his managers phone number and says he'll be able to provide it. I call it and theres no response so i leave a voicemail. After doing that i follow up "You can't provide me with this information yourself?". He says the manager has more info and that there waiting for that information back from Ford in order to provide it back to me.

So the long short of all of it is, should have I been provided a sale and order number as they were placing the order? I have a little sheet that basically confirms all the reseveration details but it just has very surface details, like the options i wanted, trim, and any extra dealer add-ons but thats it. Theres no real tracking info on there at all. I dont want to be in the situation where 4 or 5 months pass and it turns out that the dealer didn't even submit the order at all. But mostly I just want some way to confirm my order at the end of day.

Mostly in the same boat; dealership makes the Sphinx seem chatty. Also am part of the segment which, by whatever arcane calculus, Ford eschews sending e-mails to.

Call Ford: 800-334-4375. They can (did it for me) provide dealer number and order number as well as whether your order has been verified and confirmed.

Wait times on hold via phone vary, so find a comfy chair.

Thats the thing. No sales or order number on any of the stuff i got. Trying to get it from the dealership but it feels like itll be pulling teeth.

What about the ROVP, that is what I requested and they did provide for me and has the order number on it. Note they can search by various selection criteria as Name, phone number, email etc.

Also unfortunatly not. Weirdly enough. They didnt give me a physical papers the salesperson wanted me to take a pic of the transaction worksheet and thats it. So its just the one page. Should I have gotten more?

You should have got a copy of the DORA as I posted above.

Call ford. If they have no idea who you are, you haven't placed an order.

ETA hard to believe dealerships are doing this shit. How hard is it to do it correctly? What friggin angle are they trying to work here?

So I should ask for that specifically then. You think its a potential red flag if the dealer dosent want to produce that whatever reason? I could just be overtly paranoid.

I certainly want to give the dealership the benefit of the doubt. Though when it comes to not giving basic info to just track something is when I speculate.

Seriously, there is an official process they are supposed to follow. You need to sign a DORA and provide copy of your driver's license. It sounds like they may be trying to sell you one they ordered as a dealer allocation, but it's not the process they are supposed to follow for a custom order.

Call ford. Dealerships have been known in the past to be less than forthcoming with the truth.

Strictly for the record, I have signed nothing and not provided a license (nor did the dealership request one), all they asked for on the one and still only phone call they made to me following the reservation was my home address. Received news (not via the dealer, by the way) of my getting a VIN today.

I am not saying that you CAN'T get a vehicle any other way, just that there is supposed to be a process by which you sign the DORA and provide a photo of your DL. I had to. And I got an email from Ford within a day or two.

If you didn't sign a DORA, provide a copy of your license and subsequently receive a confirmation email from Ford, it's probably a good idea to call Ford just to make sure.

BTW can you track the VIN?
