Shit. My luck is something to be....avoided by all. Do not get caught in my aura.
I called SVT today, they said my truck had two updates entered on Friday. "Confirmed build week Jan 30" and "Build DAY Jan 30".
All sounds good so far, right? Not so fast. I then called the stealership to inquire about a little rumor on the street that 2 people "in the know" had told me. They confirmed Ford came in last week, took all the keys to the cars on the lot and are in the process of shutting the Stealership down (for reasons far too involved to get into here). Now I'm stuck with the delema of having a truck, beig shipped to a stealership that may be closed when it arrives. Anyone up for months of shaking this shit loose while I try and figure out how to get my truck? Bad enough it was FIVE months from order to delivery. Oh...forgot to add, no window sticker as of yet either. Unfuckingbelievable!!!

The SVT guys were pretty nice and seemed fairly helpful when I called them. Maybe call them tell them to check out the dealer, and see if they can re-route to another dealer (assuming he will honor the deal).

I'd let SVT try to manage it for you if they can, save you the headache.

They gave me Customer Care's number who promised to call back by 5pm. No call.

Sorry to hear Brother

If you want to ask them to devert or ship your ordered truck to me.
I will honor any deal you had with your ordering dealer.

let me know,

Thanks Randy, you're really an upstanding guy but I don't think your dealership could afford to give me the same deal (maybe that's an insight as to what's up? The owner has been after me for years and years to get a vehicle-at his TRUE cost). Funny, the rail yard it is likely to ship to is ONE mile from my house. ARRRRGH. I know the guy that is set to buy the dealership, another friend. He has given me his word that he will take care of this for me. Two weeks will tell.

Sorry man, I feel your pain. It seems like a year ago when you came over to pickup the light bar, so I can only imagine how frustrated your wait must be.

Sending you some Good luck Karma! :peace:

The dealership (salesman) called today and said Ford wanted to cancell my order because of the dealerships current situation. He "Says" he talked them out of it. Customer care never called back, when I called them the rep says her notes say the customer care rep called me and talked to me TODAY. I received no call. Their notes say their "investigation" was to call the dealership and ask them if they would be open when this is delivered (prompting the call to me from the salesman). SO, in summary: I have apparently been lied to by Ford, the dealership owner and the salesman, 5 months into this, no truck and am seriously pissed off. Now I ask a serious question: Is it really this ******* hard to order a truck?
