How did you confirm that the dealer had an allocation?
I ask because I have an order in at one dealer who told me they had an allocation and I got the email confirmation from Ford that it was accepted. $500 deposit. $5000 over msrp (I want to know how to check if he actually had one)
The second dealer I have and order in at as well, no deposit and at msrp. its my regular dealer I go to and think I can trust. And what my salesman told me is what I posted in my last post. He won't place an order without the allocation. He told me be patient they get 3-4 allocations monthly and there are 3 people ahead of me waiting for 35's and more waiting on 37's. he also said they get more 35 allocations than 37 which isn't surprising. he told me to be honest I I shouldn't expect to get it before June unless something changes quickly.
Because this is my regular dealer, long time customer and I am a really good lie detector and was told they have one allocation for 2022. They would not order for me until October, after bugging them for a year, especially after June, and they declined to order, saying they could not until they got an allocation. When they finally got it, they accepted my order.
That kinda makes chances they are not being honest very low.
Again, I don't want to drive in the winter anyway, so I am fine waiting and I really want all the bugs worked out.
So, that really doesn't help you much, sorry.
I have not yet called FP, as I know the full situation with parts and chips, but as the time gets closer to March, April, if I haven't gotten a schedule yet, or if I see dealers in my dealer's group get scheduled and I have not, then I will call.
