I tried activating mine about 9 am this morning and it's still showing pending.
I debated for the last week or so since the activation screen popped up, since it's technically not mine yet, but curiosity got the better of me!
Will this shutdown help ease some of the shipping issues? I've known many Ford plant employees (former Lorain assembly plant, Avon Lake assembly plant, Brookpark engine plant), and I know that they are always off this time of year, but not sure if all of them are off???
@Labs4Lightning, did you get something that stated you were in chip hold? I keep seeing members referring to that and am wondering if that is an official status. Thanks!
@RainorshinePNW, just a clarification. Liberty Ford is in Vermilion, OH. Address is 4215 East Liberty Avenue.
Went today to test drive their SQM Lariat ER, but they are not allowing test drives. A sales rep told me on the phone Monday that they were, but he was wrong I guess!
@RickLightning, thanks for the info! I'm completely new to all of this, and I appreciate the advice that all of you experienced owners provide.
One critique though....you spelled OHIO wrong!:giggle:
@GoGoGadgetTruck, I was under the impression, too, that it was marked up. Why would the website say something different when other dealers (Autonation, Liberty) have theirs listed at sticker on their websites? Just curious.
BTW, Liberty has their Lariat available for test drives. I'm going...
Actually, I was surprised when I saw that! I've dealt with them in the past, but it was 20 years ago. When I found it on their website, I called and talked to 1 of the sales reps. He said that it's available for test drives, but it's not for sale for 6 months. They've had it since last week...
Mike Bass Ford in Elyria, OH has an Oxford White Pro, available for test drives. It's marked up $20K from the window sticker on their website.
Liberty Ford in Vermilion, OH has a Smoked Quartz Lariat ER with Max Tow and Spray In Bedliner. No mark up on their website. Not sure if it's...
Sorry, @wheelz2000, just saw this! I was going to select the Stone Grey, but 1 of my sons (30 year old, grey Tesla Model 3 owner) was with me at the dealership and he talked me into the Smoked Quartz. I keep looking for an ICE version of something with Smoked Quartz in the local area to check...
Lariat ER and I got bumped forward to 5/30???? Just saw the email from Ford that was sent last night at 8:08 p.m. Why are other Lariat ERs moving back? Although mine does not have any bedliner, and just the Tow Tech package, Smoked Quartz paint. Maybe that's the difference?
I also received the email from Ford today telling me what I already knew!
But I have a couple of questions: The emails that I have received, like this one and the Wave email, say to "click the button below". But there's no visible button! I have only found them by hovering the pointer around...
Sorry, just saw this.
Click on the arrow next to "entries", then click on the arrow next to "0", which will be the next line after "entries" opens up. The builtWeek will be 3 lines down. Then click on "product" and you might see your VIN a little further down after the "marketingProperties"...
