I don't think that happens from Ford Canada.. Everything is through the dealer. Make sure you get everything in writing and signed by the dealer. Get them to do COVP and get a screenshot. GL. mine was ordered evening of the 15th in Oakville.
Dragging us back a few months, say late spring, didn't Ford say they were going to use first in first out (excluding the effects of constraints) to produce retail orders and not use the allocation system? Did I dream that?
Has Ford said they won't? Don't forget, those constraint items haven't gone away. I do wish they would be more open about it all though, IE what and how many were rolled over and what were the constraint items? That sort of statement would at least make them seem more human. In my company...
How sure are you of this, I'm being told the Order Bank opened evening of the 15th here In Ontario. I know there is no pricing and order guide and I was told this by my GM, I have no proof of this however. Do you have some inside knowledge of what you are saying?
I just received "proof" that my order was placed via a scan the my salesman set me, see attached.
Two things that jump out at me immediately. The bottom is not filled out with my details and second there is that little "Special Dealer Account Adjustm", Should I be concerned here in Canada?
According to my dealership my order was placed Thursday evening but I have not received an email from Ford confirming that. This morning I sent my dealership an email why not, was it really placed and did they use my email as the contact. Waiting to hear back.
I don't think we'll know that until the Canadian order guide comes out. For sure the dealerships are more in the dark than we are. I forwarded my dealer the US order guide and pricing, including the GM, and her comment to me was, wow, how did you get that? LOL, she did thank me however and said...
I think this is exactly right. My dealer in Oakville managed to place my order last evening, however no pricing or definitive config as yet since Ford Canada has not released order guide or pricing as yet. My concern was would the US place so many orders that we here in Canada would not get any...
I'm also in Milton but refuse to deal with them as they have been nothing but evasive with me.
I put in a preorder with $500. deposit at Oak-Land Ford in Oakville back in July, was referred to the GM there Joanne W who's father worked with a good friend of mine at Ford Oakville plant and I know...
Yes... but.... Ultimately Ford for not stepping up. QC issue for sure as well, would that not look obvious when the lug was fastened to the post? Seems ludicrous...
