Ford created this monster. Here is a great business model;
- in some cases, ask buyer to pay an ADM
- ask for a deposit
- build cars that were ordered some time after yours.
- provide no transparency about how orders are selected.
- expect buyer to simply wait and hope dealer really had an...
It is a real pain waiting, I swear Iāll wait a few weeks before call FP, but I cave in and call every couple of days.
guys from FP are great, planners not so much :)
KB; I am very happy for you. That car is beautiful, worth the wait! Don't have to say, but enjoy the ride...
The good thing about the wait is that we were able to make good friends along the way.

Snoopy, thanks for all u do for us. Said it many times, but we would be lost without you.
Lets go Ford, at the rate of 120 VINs every 2 weeks I will be able to apply for antique plates when I get my car.:)
All u MMC members, take heart you are not in the March2021 C8 club.
Was thinking of getting my deposit back and going C8. Called MacMulkin Chev in NH.
Dealer told me they have allocations, but cannot guarantee they will be 2020 cars, maybe 2021.
They will start producing the C8 in Feb. None...
Hi Noah, wanted to say thanks for all your help and patience on the phone with the members.
As you can see by the posts, there is some frustration from the Unscheduled club on where each is in this process. Would be nice if Ford could go an extra step and add some transparency to the process or...
Two step process if they try and pawn off a 2021 allocation.
1.) Get deposit back.
2.) Go car shopping for a non Ford 80K+ Vehicle.
2021 C8 after the bugs are worked out, Cayman GT?
Does anybody on earth know the rhyme and reason of how cars get advanced for a VIN?
I envision a monkey...
Earl you are a wealth of information. Thank you.
I am also Unscheduled/ material hold. Noah at FP told me to check at the beginning of feb, he may be able to provide a Build Date.
I hate bugging Noah, anywhere on any Ford website where I can see changes to my order?
Noah is a great guy. Informative and friendly.
However, he is just passing along what he is told by management, which may or may not be accurate( what a surprise).
If I get my vin and car, great. Worst case, I get my deposit back and go shopping for an 80 k car (not a Ford).
John, lets hope it is not the July MC (or worse).
Couldnāt drive it now in Boston anyway.
500 manual actually said āuse of tires chains will void warrantyā. The visual of a burnout with chains is something else... do not stand behind vehicle.
Wish we could simply get an answer from Ford. We...
Spoke to McCaulkin Chevy in NH.
They have 1,200 allocations no MSRP naturally.
GM cranks those bad boys out. Not sure how the strike effects all of this.
