Stick with your guns, and yes talk with the General Manager about the lack of communications from the sales floor. It's hard to tell but it looks like the bumper itself is gouged. Also I would ask for a new diffuser as that one will never straighten out. Good Luck.
Yup, new bumper, new diffuser and a quality body shop to do the work. Anything less and I would walk away from this car. Maybe ask them to throw in a few free oil changes as well. Also, I’d hold on completing any paperwork until the car has been fixed and you’ve been able to inspect it and verify that the repairs are satisfactory.
Sorry you are dealing with that crap. I would be extremely disappointed myself. I wouldn't take it unless they replaced the bumper. Based on the pictures, it definitely looks like someone backed into something. I saw you mentioned a competing dealership has one incoming. Have you done an expanded inventory search to find one that has the same features as your order?
I have checked around a little just in case I need to go in another direction. There are two with the main features I want (interior/exterior color, 401a, active exhaust) that are at least in the same general region as I am. One in Fargo, ND and one a little south of St Louis. They are both November 2017 builds so I wouldn’t have sync connect which is not a huge deal, but was still interested in having it. They also both have a bunch of extra $$ stuff I don’t really feel I need (safe and smart, 20 inch wheels, enhanced security package). The fact that a bunch of people have driven them takes some fun away too. Was looking forward to being the first and only person to really drive it aside from the people who moved it along the way. I’m sure their time on the lot could help with the cost.
At this rate, maybe ours will be on the same truck. The train is going pretty fast like you said. I checked with FP this morning and mine is passing through Nevada as we speak. On Friday, it was in Illinois.
That's good to hear. Sounds like they are taking care of you finally. Hopefully the dealership will do a good job replacing the bumper.
Fingers crossed for you my friend. Mine is still setting on the 21st delivery. Now if the Ford Gods will just smile on me.
I imagine the trucking company waits to have a full load before they deliver, but there has to be enough cars going through there to where the wait wouldn't be long. The only other thing I can think of is maybe there is a backlog of rail cars waiting to be unloaded or something. I would definitely be irritated after waiting months for your car and the last leg of the journey is held up like that.
I feel your pain. Mine's back at the dealer already . Had it towed up there Saturday after it started misfiring Friday night. 70 miles & I already broke it. Today they said a misfire in Cyl 4. *sigh*
