laughs in GT reservation
If I get an opportunity. This is a crazy busy two weeks at work coupled with my mom’s health declining rapidly and now putting a car purchase into the middle of it. We will see
Once issue right now for me in terms of the delay / waiting boils down to depreciation. We all are essentially buying a MY21 which by now is beyond the halfway mark. EV's traditionally don't fair well in this department so I am grumpy about taking a considerable hit due to the delays. If I had to do it all over again I would have ordered the premium given the lower cost difference vs. the FE. I originally ordered the FE thinking I would be taking delivery the latest December 2020 and would truly be the first delivered edition "FE".
may be thats why they are not returning my emails
thats great news though - mine is KC still.
That was a waste of 4 hours spent in traffic going to see Russel & Smith Ford in Houston.
That attitude bugs the crap out of me. They might be a third party, but if you are the one who hired the third party, you are responsible for their actions. They are acting like some random group of vandals decided to start acting like the Concierge service all on their own and they can't get them to stop.
We can't even pre-order the GT here yet! Beat that one!

I filled in the contact me information on the dealer's website. Their concierge people called me. I asked if the car was reserved. They said "No." I asked if it was for sale and they said "Yes the car is in transit but it will be here next week. You can come do all of the paperwork now and we will deliver it to you when it comes in." They said they took Xplan and knew what Ford Options was. That should have been the dead give away.
I made an appointment for 6 PM Monday evening. I showed up early and a salesguy came buzzing over as soon as I stepped out of my truck.
I told the salesguy I had a 6 PM appointment with the finance department to do the paperwork on a Mach E. The salesguy got that look on his face like he just the most bitter thing ever. He said the concierge people are a 3rd party and they gave me bad information. I spoke with sales director Simon and he said the same thing. The most fustrating thing was that they would never take responsibility for the error. They just kept saying it was a third party. I showed him the emails I got from the concierge saying there were part of Russell & Smith Ford. I told him of my conversation. Didn't matter to the Director of Sales. He would just say they were a third party. Russell & Smith would not take any responsibility for the error.
New update. I was able to find a dealership in Betonville Arkansas with two Mach FEs in stock (how? why? I don't know but one was a retail order and one was a stock order). A blue one (retail) and a red one (stock order). The blue one sold yesterday and I am picking up the red one on Saturday after flying up there from Austin. The dealership took X-Plan but they can't do Options because Arkansas doesn't allow balloon payments. Then I get to drive it 8 hours to Austin TX (534 miles) to drop it off at the Xpel shop for PPF. My first BEV and I am taking it on a really long road trip. I am stopping in Dallas to charge it overnight. Fun times.
