paranoia

[CoryDallas8123]

Ok... So I'm paranoid with ordering from the dealership. I placed an order on August 1 and got s "Preview Order" signed. That being said, I did the the FITS email. Am I good?

Mamboman777, you sir are a national treasure here at MTC. If you are worried we all need to be worried. Hahaha.

But yes, you are fine. Prepare yourself for all the “free” FITS crap.

That's absolutely a concern, too... What would you do if that happens?

I have exactly the same concern. I am meeting with my sales guy tomorrow early morning. My hope is to leave with a signed purchase agreement.

For what it's worth, paranoia strikes deep. Into your life it will creep. It starts when you're always afraid. Step outta line and the man come and take you away.

You better stop...

Buffalo Springfield 1966 I believe.

I did. You working with J.C.?

Yes but my actual salesman is Lee C. We've dealt with him about 11 years and 5 cars/trucks! Great guy. What part of NRH are you in? We are off of 26 near Glenview.

Hi, you are probably fine since you got the email, but quell that paranoia by calling Ford directly @ 800 334 4375! PS I'm in NRH as well. Did you order from Five Star?

Without the Sales Code and Order Code numbers will he be able to find out?

I kind of figured that stuff was not something I was going to care about. Give me something COOL. A pair of Maverick Insulated coffee to go bottles would have exited .e more!

Maybe.

Maybe.

Call the dealer and demand he give you order sheet that has that info!

I'm actually in Hurst. River trails area.

YES! I don’t want the FITS stuff too. But I’ll take anything and not complain.

So, I've got this... Is this the DORA?

So, I've got this... Is this the DORA?

Yes, at least that is my understanding.

But that is not a contract or a document which binds a dealer to honor the MSRP price unless the dealer and you both sign it with an agreed upon price. I believe it is also important that something of value (a modest down payment or something) is required to make it binding. At least that is my understanding going into my meeting with my sales guy.

Might a dealer honor it? I do hope so. But it is not legally binding by itself.

Is that an order # top right? Did everybody sign it? And did you get an order confirmation from FORD shortly after you ordered (got mine before I got home?. Also, did you make a deposit ($500.00)?

Slightly piggy backing on this thread since I too am paranoid

I do have an order number on mine and I did get an email and Ford Marketing number has confirmed that it is an order. No deposit requested. In fact it was refused.

I do not have a bad feeling about it. The dealer does have a good reputation. But a signed purchase agreement with some money exchanged would be ideal. Who knows? There is nothing that would prevent the dealership being sold next week and they have new policy in place.

The subject is perfect: Paranoia. But I can do something to reduce that, for me at least. Do you have any suggestions?

 

[CoryDallas8123]

I've got this... Is this the DORA? Should I get anything else?

I believe that’s your Ford order sheet. I got that plus a dealership specific sheet with all the costs(MSRP, fees, etc.).
