My patience is running thin

[Grand Nat.]

You have waited this long. Don't drop out now. 14 months is how long I had to wait.

Welcome to the club. Thousands of people waiting in excess of two years.

Or, paid above msrp and waited 2 weeks.

Worth it!

I needed a new car badly and hadn’t pre ordered a Maverick either. Sort of a no brainer for me.

Does your Kentucky dealer have any allocations left? Small dealers usually mean small sales which means few allocations. Assuming you didn't put in a rollover order since you hate Ford.

I have an MBA and a degree in economics and I haven't seen a significant issue with Ford that isn't impacting all car manufacturers now.

I’m sorry I ever posted on TV his site. I’ve been called enitled to a grasshopper by some who replied to my post. I was not implying that I was deserving of any special treatment over those who have ordered or received their truck. I was just sharing my thought as to why it has taken Ford this long to figure out their production and scheduling problem. If Ford had known of constraints before they introduced this truck, maybe they might have made better decisions.
I have a degree in Marketing with over.
Forty years of Professional Sales experience.
as for posting my concern, this is my first and last post I’ll be making. I’m also deleting my registration. Since i’m entitled, I’m entitled to do this.

If I were waiting that long, I'd have cancelled the order. I don't need a Maverick that bad.

You might consider doing what I did. In my particular case I could not wait to order one. What I did as I kept look out for Ford dealers in a near metropolitan area. Occasionally they will receive an order and the person who ordered it backs out. You have to kind of take what comes in and might not have exactly all the same options you had on your order. I was able to find a Tremor Lariat Lux. I had also tracked on a fully loaded effect score but opted for the Tremor.

It appears my Mav is going to be built after 10 months (hybrid). If I wasn't going to get a '23, I would have cancelled! Ford didn't get it right with the Edsel. Mavericks are another problem. Ford Orders Remain Doubtful! It annoys me that, for most, msrp is the name of the game.

Never name a car after your SON!

Did they sell it to you at MSRP?

Immediate gratification has been the norm for a few generations now.

The whole supply chain thing is a big shock to them.
The normalcy bias does not compute anymore.

Too bad, real life is hard, and often disappointing.

Someone should update this GIF with a ‘22 XLT or Lariat driven by someone who paid that $12,000 ADM

Well, now I am just waiting for Commodore Bob to chime in. He as IT/MBA which he has on his site with each post. Curious, does having those letters give you guys a lot more insight than the rest of people, some with degrees from the "School of Hard Knocks", still waiting on their Mavericks? Apparently, you think so or you would not tell us about your educational "achievements". Just saying.....

No, the poster said School of Business should study Ford's failures. I pointed out based on my experience and specific education there isn't a failure to study. Just a bunch of people that knew ordering a Maverick was a gamble of when it would arrive so the failure was on him for unreasonable expectations.

When I ordered in ‘21 I did not know it was a gamble, when I rollover ordered in ‘22 I felt like a junkie just getting one more fix, when Ford notified me that my Maverick was built (two months ago) I felt like I was getting notice of fatherhood, when I went to the dealer worried about the ADM I felt like I was paying a ransom, now I feel like whistleblower, trying to right a wrong…or a stalker waiting for that damn truck to get off Pier 1 in two days…

I need one of those!
er,
I want one of those!

Wonder how long I’d have to wait for one?

The black ones are constrained!
