This pretty much says it all.

This is a great thread on the purchase agreement. Includes a video from Tim of Long McArthur Ford on what to do to to protect yourself. Near the end of the first page of the thread is the wording a guy used to get a purchase agreement.

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?

Hmm. I got a paper like that and put down a deposit, but never got an email from Ford.

All good points. Funny how some are requiring a deposit and there don't! I'm not mad at them though, it made sense. I did receive a a pair titled "Preview Order, Order #, sales code #, all my options and packages itemized and an MSRP. The said that price could go down IF there are any incentives being offered at the time of actual sale. We were assured that the deposit was totally refundable if we backed out ( I won't, I saw one last week and am in love)! We both signed it. That makes it binding, doesn't it? I've had a couple of shaky and doubtful moments relating to the rumors of Hybrid delays being due to problems with the engine. I no longer listen to the naysayers!
Guess what? MY ASTROS ARE GOING TO THE SERIES AND IM GETTING A MAVERICK! YooHoo!

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)?

Yes yes yes

Quit being so paranoid and get back to posting memes!!! The men in black suits are keeping an eye on you….

My only hope is that someone at Ford gets so annoyed by my memes that they get me a build date to make it stop.

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

First, I’m paranoid too. I called Ford customer service. They have been wonderful both times. They confirmed everything was right on track with the order.

second, I was at my dealer a couple days ago, and directly asked how they handle orders. I asked because they got a loaded Lariat, and marked it up $5k. I asked what the dock fee will be and if they are going to honor MSRP. They confirmed dock fee was $500 and they do not mark up orders. Now, could they decide to mark it up after this conversation? Of course! It’s also possible they could mark up everything $20k. Heck, it’s possible they could decide to become a Chevy dealer. Anyway, the possibilities are endless, but I assume they care at least a little about customer relations. Man, I wouldn’t sweat that. Ask them. If they tell you no markup, then I think you should be able to rest well until your order comes in.

Did you call your dealer customer service or corporate?

Did you call your dealer customer service or corporate?

Here’s the number to call: (800) 392-3673

Now, the hold times are crazy, so make sure you have something else to do while on the phone.

They were able to look up my information via my name, address, phone number, et cetera. I had an order number they gave me from the dealer, but it was incorrect. (Probably an internal order number or something.) Ford gave me the correct order number and dealer sales number.

They’re super nice and helpful, which I find to be rare - especially after such a crazy long hold time (suggesting they’re fielding calls all day long)!

hope this helps!
