Where about in Michigan do you live. I'm in Livonia, and ordered a little over a month ago and still haven't gotten a VIN. It's killing me! What dealership did you order from?
I'm in Birmingham.
I work on the east side of Detroit. Last January I dropped into the 3 dealerships I pass on the way to work or drive by on routine life. Two said I was 2 or 3 in line. The dealer that had me first never contacted me as promised.
Dean Sellers Ford is closest to my house. They contacted me June/July told me I was third in line and asked for a refundable deposit - I dropped in that day and gave it. As soon as I heard Ford was taking orders I called and placed mine - $5k non refundable. They were selling at MSRP which considering what I was buying sounded fair (better than over) to me. Until I pick up mine, I won't know if they delivered number 1 or 2 (on their list) prior to me.
If I was bumped up the list by the dealer, my guess is it's because I'm local. The GM (Dean Sellers - the grandson of the dealers founder) sounded happy that I was local.
I have found them to be very fair with me.
I haven't bought American in a long time. So far I'm pleased.
Jhillen- where did u buy yours?
