2022 GT500 order thread

[Houston Kid]

Since you seem to know a lot about the process, do you know what it means when your salesman says the rep confirmed the order? My salesman and his manager both said the rep confirmed the order, and I have heard a few other people here and on the other forum say the same thing.

That means you should get a car. In the past it meant you will get a car but in today's world, nothing is a guarantee. When is the question.

Just so it’s clear, because not all dealers know, and not all dealers care, and Ford Performance just reads the status and causes confusion, but everyone here should have the knowledge to push your dealer and order forward or know if your dealer is full of it so you can make other plans.

If your order is sitting in a Priority Code which is not 01-09. Ford has not applied a dealer allocation to your order. Priority Codes above 09 (10-99) mean your order is sitting in a backlog for your dealer only. GT500s do not follow the same COVP process as other orders, and GT500’s don’t just get picked up from a dealers Unscheduled Order Bank and scheduled for production.

Your dealers Ford Zone Rep, must move your order to a 01-09 Priority Code. In order for you to have a shot at the car being built.

Unscheduled Material Hold & Unscheduled Clean mean nothing without the priority code. Don’t let a careless dealer get away with pushing back.
It’s absolutley possible that dealers are still waiting on additional allocations to be applied to orders for their (“share of nation”) allocations as they’re called. These dealers who get more than one would know, they would have been told at the beginning of the MY.


So yes, ask for the VVR if you have any questions on current status, but if you don’t have a VIN and a build date, Priority Code is the most important thing to know.



_steps off of soapbox_

so if I’m understanding you correctly I should go sit down with my dealer have them call the regional rep while I’m sitting there in the dealership to see if he can move it to a 02 or 01?

Because my dealer tell me again on Friday that I am set for an August build and it just needs to be switched in the computer? So would be the best piece of advice go sit down talk with the sales manager and have him call regional rep?

You should ask your dealer to ask the rep when they’re going to assign your order a Priority code 01/02.

It seems odd that the rep knows your build month, but your order isn’t in a position where Ford can even build it.

Given “confirmed the order” isn’t specific terminology, I have no idea.

If they mean their rep has given them the allocation and your priority code is now 01-09. You should be okay barring any parts constraints. If you’re unscheduled Clean and 01-09. Get your hopes up for next round of scheduling.

But if confirmed the order means they were able to place an order in WBDO and it flipped to a UMH or UC status, it means nothing.

That’s what I am saying. But he said his rep told him it’s marked but hasn’t updated in the system. I’ll pop in Monday

Ask for the current VVR. That is the current record.
Phone calls and word of mouth means little.
Like was stated, the term “confirmed order” only means it is in the order bank, along with thousands of others.

I’m sure you saw my Friday post, my stuff updated in minutes after rep flipped me back to 01, so it’s all strange.

But if you trust your dealer don’t let me change your mind, you should have a VIN and Build Week on Thursday/Friday if you’re in for Aug.

And my post wasn’t specifically about you, if they came and told you what to remove in order to get scheduled I believe you’re gonna get a car.

My post was directed at these folks whose dealers have no allocation and get updates from Ford Performance that they’re unscheduled clean thinking they’re going to be scheduled.

No. I appreciate your insight! I’m just trying to make sure that I’m not doing anything wrong and potentially jeopardizing getting the car.

Like I stated in an earlier post the dealership did reach out to me about two weeks ago said hey I might make your day, but I was just told by my Ford rep if we were to remove your handling package he can go ahead and get your car scheduled for an August build.

But to your point when I spoke with him on Friday he said I was still sitting at a priority code 10 so that’s where I’m lost and confused about why it hasn’t moved to a 01 or 02 if his rep promised to pull it for August.

Will do! Thanks

If you were in my shoes where it appears that I am actually my dealers second order, what is it that you would want to have the dealer ask the regional rep? I would ask if my dealer is going to be receiving another allocation and if they had an idea when that might happen? Is there anything else you think I should have them ask their rep?

 

[tnedator]

For those wondering about the status of your order/build/shipping; ask your salesman/dealer for a full copy of the current Vehicle Visibility Report (VVR).
They all know exactly what that is and can send you pdf copy. If they refuse, they don’t know what they are doing.
And for those taking delivery, make sure to request it when you get your car.

Why get the VVR at delivery?

Why get the VVR at delivery?

It is a complete record of the order, from start to finish.
And it disappears from the system shortly after delivery.

Job 2 production begins this week, so if the dealer has another allocation, they should be able to show results soon.

If I was you, I’d ask the dealer to email the rep and confirm the second allocation for this MY. They would have known how many they had at the start of the MY, but I’d want to see a ford rep say it to believe it. While we know most allocations are not all given at once, I’d be hesitant trusting a dealer who may not get a second one.

One step further along. Of course the car will show up when I will be out of town for vacation....

From what I have seen, the VVR seems to disappear when the dealer reports that the car has been sold.
