I am not the person you asked but if I had to hazard a guess I'd say dealership being dealership.Did they have a reason for not submitting it?
If you haven't noticed - most are useless.

I guess i am still trying to figure out why they even exist.I am not the person you asked but if I had to hazard a guess I'd say dealership being dealership.

They said that the salesperson didn't get it ordered.Did they have a reason for not submitting it?
Ugh, its crap like this that makes me hate the entire dealership system. Almost everything else in the world, we can just place the order ourselves. Again, how hard is it to make sure an order is placed? Lazy MF'ers.I went to my dealer on Thursday, Sept. 15 and made an order for a 2022 Hybrid XLT Lux Cyber Orange and they said they'd put in the order when the order banks opened. They said they needed my driver's license to make it official. So on Friday, Sept. 16 I went in and they copied my DL.
I've heard nothing on my order and so today Friday Sept. 23 I went in and asked if my order had been put in and found out that was a negative.
I am vexed and hopping mad.
I mean not really because I don't need a new vehicle or need to spend nearly $30k including everything except loan interest, but dang it I wanted one.
Maybe Chevy will come out with a hybrid one with an extended cab and 6' bed since that's the body I want. Not expecting it though.
Don’t hate the player, hate the game. It’s a wise financial play to flip one and keep one. These trucks print money.Also what's up with all the people who successfully got one delivered last year ordering again? Planning to flip it? Leave some for those of us driving a car on its last legs planning to use our ordered Maverick as a daily driver.
I believe that is Retail Order Verification Process - I signed the order form and provided a copy of my driver license to the dealer when I placed my order. He told me that was needed to place the order with Ford.What is rovp?
My dealer will actually refuse to sell it to you if they find out you are flipping. Believe it or not, a lot of flippers are easy to read. You can tell the difference between those who genuinely want a truck over those looking for a quick buck.Don’t hate the player, hate the game. It’s a wise financial play to flip one and keep one.

That being said, I ordered only one, and am keeping it to drive into the ground just like my 2000 Honda CRV approaching 250,000 miles.
The dealers, themselves, are just flippers. Most are doing it fairly egregiously with these trucks by way of substantial markups, a few just selling at MSRP and making their typical profit. I have no issue with any of this, I’m a capitalist. In fact I’d almost prefer the profit went to an individual flipper than a big fancy dealership. No right or wrong here though. I have no interest in moral policing.My dealer will actually refuse to sell it to you if they find out you are flipping. Believe it or not, a lot of flippers are easy to read.

Scalping isn’t causing shortages. The shortages are already there. It’s just exacerbated by heavily imbalanced supply and demand in favor of the dealer.The dealer I'm working with never marks up. My MY23 Maverick is being sold to me below MSRP. That's why they have that limitation on who they sell it to. Because there is instant equity in the vehicles and you aren't making money on their good graces.
I believe in ethical capitalism. Price gouging is generally illegal but is legal if you call it scalping. Same principle on both: a seller of goods taking advantage of a shortage to artificially drive up the price to line their own pockets rather than letting the free market decide the price. Especially since the act of scalping is what is causing shortages and driving up prices to begin with.
I have zero interest in reasons or excuses and hope all scalpers lose their shirts on their respective endeavors. Want to flip new cars? Open a car lot and follow the same laws dealers have to contend with.
I called Ford again today. They said my order is "unscheduled-clean". Thank you sir pointing this out.If you are sure they said "UNclean", you are NOT good to go. "Unscheduled-CLEAN" as a secondary status is the good status. Unclean means there is a problem.
i wonder about the percentage of people flipping. in the grand scheme of things, do they really matter?I grow weary reading all the speculation in this thread. Way too many dealers taking advantage of buyers. Way too many buyers flipping. I'm just trying to replace my gas guzzling Ranger. The ONLY thing that matters is when you drive your Maverick off the lot. If it's not in your possession, not much else matters.
I'm thinking this has happened to me also. The sales geek ASSURES me it's been ordered. No email from Ford, no tracking number, no charge for deposit on my Amex.Did they have a reason for not submitting it?
