I decided to cancel the order, just way too much of a hassle to flip unlike my previous vehicles. Hopefully it opens up a spot for someone else. I will be ordering a '23 Super Duty for my mother on Thursday though and my 130 should hopefully be here in December.
Now I can finally almost afford...
I didn't give me access to order today, Ford did. I wasn't expecting to order until late next year regardless. So you can blame Ford's shi**y ordering for that.
Hey guys, so I got the email this afternoon to order my ‘23MY Lightning. I went to the dealer today and spoke with my salesperson. The deposit required is only $1k and they would sell it to me for MSRP.
Issue is, I just don’t want the truck anymore. I have a Defender 130 coming in December...
I just got my invitation a little before 2 pm est, went to the dealer and they confirmed it. I'm deciding tomorrow whether to cancel it or not though because I just don't need the order at this point.
Edit: I reserved November 24th, 2021 fyi.
I've had 3 Plastic Drop-In's (Ford, Ram, and Chevy) and 3 Spray-In's (2 Line-X's and Factory Ram). Will never get a Drop-In ever again, they're garbage. They flex and bend and end up scraping the paint. They also look terrible and allow for water to collect under them in the bed.
You need to contact Ford corporate dude, they'll sort it out for you. Report the dealer, and if you want, the GM/Salesperson. Had to do that with Stellantis a few months ago after an encounter with a shitty sales guy at a PA Jeep dealer.
Yeah they stopped reservations at 200,000. You can't re-reserve, and won't be able to order without a reservation for probably a very long time. Your best bet is picking one up that a dealer ordered for themselves but very highly doubt that it will be plausible, and even if you did, get ready...
Not in Wave 4 either, I'm Priority 4 at my dealer and so far only 1 person got an order in (Priority 1), during Wave 1. Guess I'll be MY '23, but all good.
