Question for the experts...

I recently negotiated the purchase of a Lariat FX4 that the dealership had ordered but not yet received. They tell me it will be here (Charleston, S.C.) two weeks after the build date - which they say is 2/27.

When I search the VIN on the Ford website, nothing comes up. With the build date being less than 2 weeks from now, is that normal?

They sent me a picture of a sheet that shows ETA start and end dates of April 8 - 14....yet they still insist it will be here in mid-March.

Can you Private Message me the VIN & dealer?

Are you searching the Ford Inventory page or the order tracking page?

Thanks for all the info you put out for all us.
You're welcome! It's a group effort though, lots of insights into the whole process have come from other members, not just myself.

Screw waiting for my Ranger, I’m buying a crappy crossover instead (or maybe the app is just buggy???).

With as reliable as the VIN tracker has been I can't possibly imagine that the FordPass app is buggy! ;)

Ok today was D Day. I got my Ranger.

Got mine today. No discount and $900 less on my mustang that I only put 1200 miles on since they appraised it when I ordered the Ranger. They were like, we got in 3 Rangers and sold all of them the first day so no leeway what so ever and with a Prime credit score I was hit with 6.18% interest for 72 months. They offered me 5.99% for 60 months but I did not want to be strapped with the higher payment.

I was like shooting fish in a barrel.

However I am really happy with the rake of the truck, aka the raised angle. I just like the look and am not going off road. I was concerned because the Vehicle tracking page showed a flat , low boring(to me) truck.

So far all I found wrong was the key area is missing the ring what would hold it tight and they all were playing stupid. I asked my salesman to report it And I had To push the issue and he said he would put in an RO on it. When I asked him what an RO was , he did not know. Brilliant.
