The winnerās list was published, but I have no way of telling which car belongs to what name. I only wrote down the ID number of the ones I voted for. Bummer.

Not sure which of us came this year, but I did. First time on the showfield and I was thrilled. Mostly because I had a cooler full of water bottles in the trunk.
After all the trials and tribulations, I brought the order home. I traded my ā18 GT PP in on it and while itās doesnāt feel like a wholly different car, it is distinct improvement! Tram lining is real, especially in the construction zones. Thanks to all for the help and listening to me complain.
I thought about that for sure, but Maryland allows a tax break on trading a vehicle in. Instead of paying the full 6% sales tax on the car, they allow the tax to be weighed against the difference between the sale price and the trade in value. It ended up reducing the tax burden by about $1500...
Iām going up to look at my order tomorrow. Wish me luck. Really bummed about their trade-in offer on my ā18 GT, but itās not that bad. Itās just not what it was when I ordered it.
Hence the frustration. I guess I expected too much from the process, so thatās on me. Itās not a rare car or even all that expensive, but itās the lack of transparency that gets me the most.
I just didnāt expect the kick in the church bells when it finally said it shipped, then was delayed...
Thanks. At this point, this thread is for venting our frustrations. If I tell them to pound sand, theyāll just sell it to the next guy and Iāll have waited 9 months for nothing. I have no expectations that theyāll do anything to make this right for me.
I thought that I had great news this Christmas. Four days ago, I received the Ford email that showed that my order shipped and would be in by the 6th. Great, right?
Last night, I got another automated email that my new window is now from Jan 21-27ā¦. It was ordered on April 4, didnāt go into...
Thanks! Mines been sitting at the Flat Rock plant for two months, so who knows whatās embedded in it. Mostly Iām concerned about mounting the front plate and the lower splitter, so thatās good news
Iām still waitingā¦. This will be the third shipping window theyāve missed. It feels like they hate money at this point and are avoiding any opportunity to take it.
My order has been delayed yet again. I hate being stuck in this purgatory and have been beyond patient. It was built since mid October and two delivery windows have passed. Just looking to vent at this point; my options are to continue waiting or just give up at this last stage. Itās not...
Thanks for the commiseration! I guess I shouldāve been more clear. Im frustrated with Fordās opaque process and that my dealer has not reached out to me once throughout this ordeal. All the information I have has been gathered on my own through the tools I found on this forum. I feel like a...
It feels wrong for the cars to sit so long after being built. Mine was built on the 10/21 and the shipping date has already moved twice and is now 11/19 to 11/25. Itās showing as convoy, so Iām not sure what the issue is. Very frustrated with the process and my dealer.
Thanks for the insight. I want to have my new wheels on hand, but I also donāt want to be stuck with them if this deal falls through for any reason. Iāve been down this road before where I bought a bunch of parts for a car I didnāt have. It showed up with a gigantic gash down the side, and a...
After several delays, my M1 is finally due between Nov 14 and the 25th (hopefully). My concern is that itās being delivered to Chapman near Philly and I live in Baltimore. I canāt guarantee that the temps will be above 50 degF anymore, especially at the end of November. How safe is it to...
