When the railyard is local to the dealership, Ford should let the dealer take possession of the vehicles there. Maybe let the customer do a test drive from the railyard to the dealer.
The payment clock has started. Not a concern for me since I get paid once a month and I have 45 days until the first payment so my payment will come out of the same paycheck regardless.
My truck is 16 miles from my house at the railyard waiting to be transported to the dealer.
I went in on Saturday to get all the paperwork taken care of even though the truck hasn't made it to the dealership yet. I got Ford's 1.9% for 60 months financing. Had I waited for delivery it would have been 2.9%.
That's why they rescheduled my delivery date to this week after my Maverick has been sitting at the railyard almost 2 weeks waiting transportation to the dealership.
I just signed the papers on mine today. Still sitting at the railyard in Mesquite where it has been since the 17th. Ford pinky promises that it will be delivered to the dealership sometime next week and they mean it this time.
I saw a small truck about 25 years ago that the owner upgraded the stereo. He had ran a very large power wire that was connected directly to the battery, from under the hood, through the door jamb into the interior of the vehicle.
Of course the wire shorted out and caught the truck on fire.
Thought about driving to the railyard to see if I can see it but looking at the satellite view in google maps, the car lot has 3 to 4 thousand spaces and only one road that I could get a view from.
Would be like trying to find a specific car in a mall parking lot from the street.
Does the Ford tracker still work for you? It stopped accepting my VIN on Friday. Not the first time that has happened to me but the other times I was not the only person that the tracker wasn't working for.
At the railyard and has been for a full week as of today. Dealer said it was unloaded from the railcar on Thursday and can't give me any information other than "you will be the first to know".
If you want to get scheduled sooner, drop the spray in bed liner.
You can get it done for pretty much the same price after delivery or your dealer can subcontract it for you.
