Got it, thank you for all that. It looks like your 7/9 is my 8/21. If my timeline is exactly the same as yours (picking up in Multnomah County) your 7/23 pick up is my 9/5 or so . . . thatās the Labor Day holiday, so if Iām lucky Iāll get it Labor Day week even though my current ETA is...
Ok, did you get a specific loan amount and down payment from him yet? Here was my process last week. Let me know where you are in this process and hopefully this helps: (did you get past the Tuesday step yet?)
Monday. Bradley: āThanks for your application. (I had already gotten them tax returns...
How so? I still have a backup but Parsons gave me the advertised rate, just with a high down payment but it still makes more sense in the long run for me at that rate. I just have to get them the signed PO as soon as the dealer will get that to me.
Got it, thanks. I guess Iāll go through Ford chat every day or 2 to see when itās handed off to BNSF then give it about a week and start checking in on it again at that point.
Contacted first CN Railways via phone (no web tracking) and tried to track this morning but they aren't able to give out tracking over the phone to anyone but the dealer or Ford. Chatted with Ford and it was in Riverdale, IL yesterday, then I believe it transfers to Blue Island, IL (both outside...
Contacted Ford chat after calling CN Railways - CN would not give out tracking info. Confirmed that it was in Riverdale, IL yesterday, so I think it's Riverdale to Blue Island then I'll get a trackable carrier once it's handed off?
Nice - mine also says Convoy and I just got off with Ford Chat. Mine shipped by Canadian National Railways. Canāt track online but I could call. Since mine is going to the Portland area, this is just the first stage - it gets transferred to another rail carrier in Blue Island, IL - near Chicago...
Oh, I see that now. New to all this, need a little more coffee this morning. I wasn't expecting the truck to ship or to be opening up console windows this early. Guess I'll try my dealer or Ford chat for rail car info. (edit: Ford chat not available until 8am PST on weekends)
Hey @SeanOC I saw your post https://www.f150lightningforum.com/forum/threads/lightning-order-decoding-tracing-guide.10224/ about the Palsapp hack not working this morning. Same here, unresponsive search button when VIN is entered on both Safari and Chrome. I got the Shipped email this morning. I...
Finally went to Built on 8/17 after my blend date of 8/3. Got the email from Ford with an ETA to my Portland area dealer of Sept. 11-17 but we'll see how accurate that is. Now I get to obsess over tracking the truck and moving vacation time around so I'm there when the truck arrives!
Platinum no spray-in, and the coveted āmulticountourā seat delete. ?? Iāll be happy with the truck, but it will always have an asterisk next to āhappy.ā
Check this morning! Mine finally went to Built. Blend and in-production dates 8/3 for me, Built 8/17. (although it didn't show built on the order page until 8/18.)
The order tracking site was kicking back to the VIN and order # entry screen earlier, but after it refreshed: still no built date. Platinum, blend date 8/3. Thereās a tiny part of me that dares to hope that maybe they found a Max Recline or at least an Active Motion seat to complete my order...
Allegacy update: they are very Chex sensitive and inflexible when you explain that you are applying to different credit unions for different auto loans. I also recently opened a new personal and business checking account with 2 new banks so that may have something to do with it as well. They...
Ok, hereās my financing update. I went with Parsons and got approved for 2.49% on 84 months but they wanted $25k down so Iām basically putting down the money for an economy CUV and financing the reset lol. Here was my thought process after spreadsheeting it. I donāt think of it exactly the same...
Just a quick update - blend date of 8/3, has not switched to Built yet. Platinum, no spray in bedliner or other options, and of course with the famous seat delete like the rest of us but mine was a Max Recline delete. Iām not on the tracker for a silly reason - I donāt have an āofficialā gmail...
Iām actually a USE member - they had a great bonus to open an account/get a referral but I hadnāt quite looked at their 72 month rate of as low as 2.64% for 72. I had been fixated on 84 months and am currently looking at advertised rates of 3.5% or under. But that 2.64%/72 might work too. Thanks...
Quick update on Parsons: after I submitted the final documents to them, which was last Wednesday, I called them on Friday and asked about the status. They said it usually takes 2 to 3 days with how backed up they are. I called them this morning and they said they were āinundatedā with loan...
