Happy Maverick Ordering Day !

[ZachSD]

Just got my Ford confirmation e-mail; I made the cutoff.

Hoping this doesn't take another year.

I became so concerned this morning with the several day time lag using the 3rd party orderer that I visited another dealer where I had purchased a Ford previously, plunked down a $1,000 deposit. The salesman created the Preview Order and printed it out. I signed it. He talked his sales manager into processing the order with Ford in front of me. A while later I had an email from Ford confirming the order. Now I just need to cancel my first order request and get my first deposit back. I’m a happy camper this evening.

You could keep both and sell one.

Well, I'm not holding out much hope of actually getting an order in this time around! Late yesterday my salesman sent me an order to sign and return, the problem was, it wasn't for the model or options I wanted! I had even sent him a marked up copy of the Order Guide that was published here with all the option codes I wanted circled, and he still got it wrong! I replied to his post with an Excel Spreadsheet I had created that had all the option codes and pricing for how I wanted it configured, but have not heard back. He must have sent the order as he was walking out the door at 5:45, even though the lousey picture he took of the order was time stamped at 12:15! I'm about at the point of giving up on ever owning a Maverick!

Don’t give up. If you can, go to the dealership the minute they open. If you can’t, insist on talking to the sales manager next time you call. Don’t give up !

I'm not giving up just yet, but now I have another uncertainty. I was wanting the Hybrid so we can tow it behind our Class C motorhome, but after a long discussion with my wife yesterday, we aren't sure how long we internd to keep the motorhome. I retire next year and there are a couple long trips we plan on taking, but after that we may just decide to sell the motorhome, at which point we won't need a tow vehicle. And, as she said, we could always rent a car if we want to do some sightseeing while camping. So, now I'm wondering if maybe I should switch gears and just go for an EB with the 4K tow incase I decide to get a fishing boat after the motorhome is gone! Why does this have to be so confusing?

So the real decision is what is most important to you, a Maverick, a motor home, a boat, or a wife. That is a problem lol.

Well, I've had the wife for 43 years, the Motorhome for 2 years, and the other 2, at this point, are just dreams! And, if I don't need a tow vehicle, that opens a lot more doors than just a Maverick. Luckily, I don't have to have anything for another year, so I have time to ponder... I will probably place an order for a Maverick and then see what happens after the first of the year. I can always cancel if I find something else. Who know, maybe all those 2022 Mavericks sitting in the Mexican desert will be delivered to dealerships and I may find one on the lot! With any luck, if that happens and there is a sudden glut in the market, the greedy dealers will stop taking on these ridicules market adjustments!

If I were you, I’d go to another dealer, put down another deposit and ask/plead with the sales manager to put the order in while you watch. Salesmen can’t enter orders as far as I know. This worked for me. I had previously bought a vehicle from the 2nd dealer. I would do this today (9/18) or Monday. From reading this website, there is some chance the 2023 orders will be closed out early this week. Good luck.

FlairGunner, you have to be careful towing a hybrid, I am told. The Mav is front wheel drive. The front wheels must be off the ground when towed.

I am not 100% certain about this. Perhaps another reader could comment.

My salesman got back to me today... Well, I called him and he said he was working on resubmitting my order. He sent me a order sheet to sign and return, then sent me the bill of sale to sign and return. I've not received anything else, how long does it take to receive an e-mail that confirms your order was actually received and accepted by Ford?

 

[NJ Pinelands]

For most the past few days, it has been within a few hours.

 

[FLAirGunner]

Well, nothing yet, salesman said within 24 hours. I guess we'll see if I get anything tomorrow.

 

[FLAirGunner]

Still no confirmation e-mail from Ford, but I did call Ford Marketing this morning, gave them my info from the order forms I received from the salesman and did get confirmation it's in the system and there were no issues with the options ordered. I was told if I don't receive an e-mail in a couple days I need to contact my salesman and have him double check they entered my e-mail address correctly!

So are today and tomorrow going to be days of mourning, as 2022 rollover order holders who have been away on vacation come back to realize that they missed out on getting a 2023?

He hoped you would sign the order in your name, then refuse to take it when it arrives. Guess who winds up with a Mav for sale? Enough said!
