LarryD Posted August 24, 2021 Share Posted August 24, 2021 I ordered a 22 F350 Platinum on April 30. After learning of the COVP on this forum in early June, I went into my dealership and ask him to submit my order into it. Sales Manager stated he had seen the email but hadn’t read it yet. We sat down in his office and he submitted it. I have asked 3 times and showed him a screen shot of the approval email. He has insisted that the email comes to me. He stated there is no way he can check on approvals. That just doesn’t seem right. Anyone know how to check this. Maybe I can call him and walk him thru it. I know I should not have to do this, but I want my truck. Since mine was totaled, canceled all camping plans since April. Help anyone?

weekendwarriorfsw32 Posted August 25, 2021 Share Posted August 25, 2021 Not sure if I'm understanding 100% what your asking but once in the program you get an email from Ford saying you're order has been submitted. If you have gotten that email you're all good and set up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A copy of your drivers lic. And finally a receipt of your deposit because those 3 things are what need to be submitted for approval of Ford’s COVP agreement to move your truck up which basically moves u away from the allocation of your dealer snd just gets it into fords system and at that point once your commodity’s are met u will get scheduled. Which is my understanding I could be wrong but this is my understanding!!!! Good luck FYI I have been waiting since 3/18/21 for a build date and vin number !!!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a specific COVP page for Dealers to access at the FMCDealer.com portal where retail order information is submitted to the COVP program and where they can verify the status. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe that’s the problem if a deposit is required. I was prepared to give one but they insisted that I did not need to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rsmith0801 Posted August 25, 2021 Share Posted August 25, 2021 So is the deposit required by FORD to schedule the order? My dealer took all the info, license, signed agreement, credit card info but never charged my card the deposit. I did get the confirmation from Ford twice.

WillSD Posted August 25, 2021 Share Posted August 25, 2021 No down payment is required under the Customer Order Verification Program. The two requirements are (1) signed and dated buyers order clearly showing customer name, order number and eligible order date and (2) copy of customers driver's license. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
