The time stamp on the reservation is not altered if a customer changes their preferred dealership. Switching from a low volume dealership with few orders to a high volume dealership with a deep reservation list is something that could potentially change when you can place your order. I think...
Kearny Mesa Ford in San Diego is reasonably close to Indio if you are interested in real communication from a dealership working to gain business. After emailing their General Sales Manager D Weaver, I changed my preferred dealership once he, you know, put it in writing, they would not charge...
To me the thread is a marketing based topic, regional and cultural topics are there as well whatever floats your boat. It’s interesting to think about. My first thought is how effective Ford’s basic strategy of being perceived as first to market has been thus far.
