TRAIN UPDATE #12
•AVPL (available for placement; final ramp)
•Edgemore, DE
•Jan3 511pm

I guess it will get to Edgemore at 5:11pm then needs to head to new castle still ? Crazy how @F150Blue was behind me and somehow pulled ahead over New year's Eve/Day!! Let's see who's leaves Delaware first (different dealers).

just called and got an update that my car will be Willimington DE at 2 am tomorrow

Yup, however I did just check with Ford Chat and they said it's at RA34 which is the destination ramp on my sticker so its train ride might be complete! RA34 is Mesquite, TX and 3 hours away.

Your wait is almost over!

I was hoping mine would come in with yours, but it looks like it's a few days behind. It made it to Salem Illinois on New Years Eve via Union Pacific, but no info other than that.

C'est la vie!

I just got the complete the purchase online email...which is interesting. Didn't know this was even an option. Talked to salesman, they are unloading it right now and taking it to shop to check it! The salesman was shocked this email came literally the same minute the truck did!

That's awesome! Their "instant offer" is interesting... wonder if that's like a Carvana type service?!

Quick question on shipping/tracking. Ford chat today gave me the tracking number for my truck (Norfolk). Is there an easier way to track it other than calling their 800 number? Also once it moves to convoy is it trackable? As of today mine is in Atlanta (well Hapeville) so in theory it should be loaded onto the convoy soon for its final leg to North Florida

Is it typical for our ordered trucks to show up on our dealers' websites? I was screwing around searching my VIN and a listing popped up for my truck (same VIN) on my dealer's site. WTF? I sent them a note to explain but just curious if anyone has found this before.

Looks like it but the offer it gave me was lower than anywhere I've seen including Carvana, Carmax, KBB, etc!

Yes. It’s my understanding that everything that goes into their inventory shows up on their website automatically.

Mine doesn't show up at my dealership (and is now actually physically there) but I have noticed when looking at other dealers that they have a few Lightnings showing "in-transit" and when I would click on the window sticker they would say "special order". I have been wondering if those were abandoned.

Hmm, hopefully your dealer can bump it up a bit. I haven’t had the “trade-in” conversation with mine yet.
