Can someone walk me through what to expect after reserving a car?
I reserved a 2022 Premium AWD in late Oct. with a downpayment of $1000. This is the first time I’ve bought a car that didn’t actually exist - in the past I’ve waited for cars to be delivered to the dealer, but they always existed as a trackable VIN in the dealer’s systems.
So what’s next?
I’ve seen lots of threads about tracing cars on trains, getting updates via the Ford website / App etc but have no idea when I’ll be able to get in on all the fun. Also just saw a thread about a dealer selling a car from under a guy who had a reservation and had been waiting six months. Don’t understand how that’s possible if your order gets that VIN assigned to it…
Thanks!

So what’s next?
- Have the 2022s started production yet? (I think the answer is No?)
- When does a VIN get associated with my Order? How will I know when it happens? I’m not exactly confident the dealer will call me
- Once I have a VIN can I begin tracing delivery?
- I’m in Canada - does anyone know what sort of voodoo black magic Ford uses to distribute cars internationally? The ford.com site says 28+ weeks for a Premium, but does that hold for Canadian orders too? I assume I’ll be waiting a bit longer.
