Thread for people who haven't gotten their Mach-E's yet to be grumpy in

[YaRu]

Honestly? ? I'm not a big baseball guy (please don't take my bat from me for this). Just figured I'd go with the Mets for a fellow NYer

Funny thing is I am a Mets fan! ?

1. Was that the playoff series? Murph was unconscious back then. Good times.

   I believe so, 2015 a good year

As Mets fans, unfortunately we don’t have many of them

Go Braves!

On another note... I ordered 10/14 and still nothing. Dealer is oblivious.

I tried calling other dealers when they had one available and they all want 5-10k more than msrp.

I'm ready to give up. ?

So I got one for you, I was checking as I usually do the ford site for any updates. I noticed I got the 2k price increase so that prompted me to call my dealer. So they tell me there is nothing they can do about it, it is Ford that does that, so I ask shouldn't I be grandfathered in at the price of my order I'll have to take it up with Ford. So I call Ford and surprisingly I get through right away, they tell me the dealers should have price protection for orders already placed. Sooo I call the dealer back and they say the email I got from Ford changing me to a 22MY w/$750 credit for increases (which it did at the time increase $500) should cover it, well I'm not an accountant but I can add and subtract It went up 2k above the $500 so $750 does not cover the $2500 increase(so I'll fight it out when the car arrives). I've been waiting 5 months already and I finally got the dealer to send me a copy of the order and lone behold it has the full $2500 increases on it and I have a priority #99 (which is the dealer telling Ford to not build) so I blow a gasket. Twice before I asked what my priority # was and they said 19, so 5 months in and my order had a hold on it, 20 min. after I get them to change it I get a confirmation email from Ford. WTF what kind of games are these dealers playing, by the way they also have 6 MachE's on there lot (of course asking adm). I'm close to telling them to shove it! But I won't give them what they want, luckily I have in writing they accept X plan. Sorry I'll stop venting now but what a crappy way to treat paying customers. I'm sure I'm not the only one.

Someone on the forum posted this. Print it and put in your files when you go to purchase

Similar plan here. If they’re not going to give me a good rate, I’ll buy it then turn around and do a refi with a credit union. I’m tired of waiting and the last thing I want to do is show up to the dealership and get jerked around.

Great minds think alike, I have been putting money in my savings ever since I first ordered. I know it will piss off the finance guy because the dealership thinks I'm going to finance the car!?

I was reviewing my order today and also noticed a 2K increase from the MSRP. I called my dealer (Airport Marina Ford) but was told that I needed to call back on Monday when a manager would be available. I tried calling Ford customer service but was told they were closed as well. From this experience, it doesn't sound like the answers I'll hopefully get on Monday will be very helpful.

I'm taking all the monthly payments I would have been paying and putting them in savings. By the time I get my Mach E I'll be able to pay in cash!

You have to put all your money to savings

Excellent choice, regardless.

so I see in the recent scheduling thread that this week they will schedule the weeks within the month of March. Is that all our best hope to wait until Thurs and look for updates then?

Ordered Oct 4, and I really want to get a car by mid May. It seems like right now the schedule would be...

1. Get production scheduled this week (for March)
2. Delivery takes 1 month (delivery anytime in April)

So if I don't get production scheduled this week I might want to start keeping an eye on other options??? Is that right?

Had a friend order a hybrid f150 in the same week I did, same dealership, take delivery this past week.

Looks like if you don’t get an update this Thursday, the earliest you can reasonably expect a delivery is the second week of May.

Ugh my car is almost here and now for whatever stupid reason I'm reading all these horror stories about bad deliveries. Just saw one on reddit about the dealer locking the keys inside after delivering the car to the person's house, towing the car back without putting it on a flatbed, and forcing the person to decline possession after waiting 10 months for the car.

My anxiety and fears about all this are starting to peak again. I feel like when you have to pee on a road trip but can hold it in until you're like down the block from your destination and suddenly it feels like you'll never make it lol

No need to freak out just take Chongs advice!

I feel for you and I'm in the beginning of the waiting stages, feeling the same way lol.

Looking forward to seeing your pics ?
