Yes! Good one sentence summary!
Dealers have lived and died by allocations for just about forever. For them to say Ford did not give them a number is pointing the finger. They can estimate based on last year's sales, just like every other year they have been in business. You need to know where...
Dealers project sales upon allocations, which has been part of their business planning for years. Of course they have an idea of how many they will receive. For example, if they sold 100 Mavericks last year, without the plant increasing capacity, the dealer should not double the orders to 200.
What you wrote seems like it is the customer's fault for ordering from the wrong place. A dealer may not know the exact number of allocations, but they know it is based on last year's sales so they have a good idea.
All I am saying is Tim and any dealer should have warned their buyers their...
I agree with you David. There are a lot of LM fans who do not realize they got screwed and have no chance that their truck gets built.
LM sucked up orders from across the country that should have gone to a local dealer. My medium sized dealer had just 75 of this year's hybrid orders. Waiting in...
You are right! On LM's video this week, Tim said 200 of their hybrids probably won't get delivered! There are going to be a ton of upset LM order holders that will have to start the months of waiting all over again and compete with millions more who now know the Maverick exists.
For dealers big...
Your dealer wants you to cancel, but they will not cancel with Ford. Your Maverick will be built under your name and DL# so you have first right to purchase. If you pass, they could ADM +$10 to 15k. Probably +$20k if it's a Tremor. Even after paying tax and lic and financing for couple of months...
With no law license, people who give legal advice the public can read and rely on thinking it is written by an attorney are sued when something goes wrong. That would not be hilarious.
Craig, unless you are an attorney in the state this happened you should not give legal advice because you can be sued. Maybe the lawyer is too busy to do anything more than a demand letter. Just trying to help.
No....Your sales person probably high fived the mgr as you walked out. They did not cancel with Ford so you may want to tell them never mind, you want to buy it. If the Mav ever gets built they will probably ADM +20k. You could probably make at least $10k since hybrids will be more rare than...
