Hi all, new here. I'm from michigan. After calling like 200+ dealers I found a dealer in Colorado that said they had an allocation for a 2021, and they were willing to sell at MSRP but with some additional BS packages like dent protection, etc etc for 4k. Essentially I just think of it as a 4000 mark up which is pretty good to me. This is for a base car.
Long story short the sales person was very responsive a month ago immediately replying to my texts. Once I gave the $5000 via credit card, I didn't hear much back after. I didn't get a VIN number because they said ford doesn't mass pull orders. I asked for a confirmation number or a DORA, and he said he will check with his rep. The issue is, the response is almost non existent now...in the past 2 weeks even though I try to get a hold of him daily I got 2 small texts back and both of which were along the lines of "i'll look into this" or "I'll call the for rep today and get back to you". Only to never hear from him again.
So what can I do here? If this truly is a GT500 order that I'll get January - March as they said initially for only 4k over, I'm happy with that and don't want to lose that. If everything was just total BS, then I just lost 5k?
Another issue is 21 vs 22, the dealer stated their allocation is for a 21 which I'll get first quarter next year. But I'm also hearing from facebook groups that 21s are not being made anymore. So it's all conflicting info.
Honestly I've never had this many issues, first time I'm buying a Ford. I usually get BMW M or AMG. Such a simple buying process vs this.
