I spoke with them this morning and they told me beginning of December. UGH. Im on the wait list.

 

Just goes to show, you never know what someone is going to tell you. They wanted to put me on the wait list, but I want to wait until I am ready to order

 

Wizerd, how did you work your trade deal? When I have done that in the past with an order, the dealer has always found a way to try to reduce the trade price due to the month or two passing since the quoted price... and since I am ordering a vehicle at below invoice, they can just as easily sell it for more profit off the lot if I walk...

 

Just spoke with my dealer today. They told me they have 4 2016's already sitting on the lot. My salesman told me he thought they showed up yesterday. Crossing my fingers that mine shows up in the next day or two. Cannot wait.

 

I waited till AFTER I had a firm cash price negotiated for the truck the way I wanted it.
Then I brought up possibly using my 2004 Ranger as a trade in.
They gave me what I thought was a good price for it, given certain "issues" with it they may or may not have noted...

 

I was in the same situation when I ordered my truck in August. The dealer had no problem giving me a firm quote that they would stand by until my truck arrived. The only stipulation that came with it was that the mileage could not tick over 44K before 12/31. We weren't sure how long the truck would take to show up so that is what we settled on.

Now, that being said, I haven't picked up my truck yet, so I cannot say they "DID" stand by it, but I don't think they are going to blow up the deal over something stupid like not keeping their word to me on the trade in. I'll know how this plays out in the next couple days when my truck, hopefully, shows up.

I did speak with another dealer about it before this one and they were not willing to make any sort of guarantee on the trade-in price, until my truck actually arrived. So I'd say it will vary on a dealer by dealer basis.

... and most good sales managers know that the revenue center for the dealer is not as much in sales these days as it is in service. They want you to buy your car from them, but even more they want you to service with them as that's where the real $$$ is. So it would be a bit silly for them to dink around with you like that. Not saying it couldn't happen, but it would be fairly silly for them to do it, unless you wanted something ridiculous for your trade-in that just made no sense.

 

You don't need the 2016 Brochure to get the coupon. Get any of the vehicles and it MIGHT have the $750 coupon on it, and the fine print it will show the $1000 F150 discount.


They allow you to get up to 3 when requesting them. Get them for 3 different ford vehicles. The $1000 hopefully will be on one of them.


BTW.... I have been told that you don't physically need the coupon, but if a coupon has been generated for you the dealer can look it up and apply it when doing the purchase. They just look up your name and address and if a coupon has been approved it will show and they apply it.

 

Has anyone been able to track their 2016 ordered truck in COTUS yet?

 

It's seems no one that has ordered a 16 has had it show in cotus. I have my VIN with a temporary build date of 11/9 and it isn't showing.

 

So would it make you a little crazy if you checked your dealer's website and saw your truck listed as "In Stock"?....
