Very Aggravating! The problem is they don't care about the future, its a "right now" generation. These sales men aren't in it for more then just a day to day job now, pay me, I deserve money just because I'm alive, its my right. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a company culture at Ford and their dealerships that I blame. My wife drives a Mercedes and our experience with their sales staff and professionalism was totally different despite the fact that my truck costs more than her SUV. Same can be said from when she had an Infiniti. We witnessed training sessions and conferences they had on new vehicles in their dealerships showing the salesman new models and quizing them on features meanwhile over at the ford dealership everything is "let me check on that". 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let’s hope your “built” email is inbound. Ive been monitoring the module site since I’ve gotten my W/S. Trying to correlate with my build day of this Wednesday.

I keep hoping every time I see the emails from Ford that they will move my date back but it keeps getting worse with each email. I actually got an email Friday night moving up to 3/21. Don’t give up!

We witnessed training sessions and conferences they had on new vehicles in their dealerships showing the salesman new models and quizing them on features meanwhile over at the ford dealership everything is "let me check on that". Not all Ford dealerships are the same, as my exerience at my dealer is excellent. The Sales Manager is extremely current on his vehicle knowledge, as is the salesman he assigns to complete the PDI. Never heard, "Let me check on that" and they are responsive to all inquiries. However, you can always get a poor salesmen, or someone having a bad day. One of our neighbours was interested in a Bronco and stopped in at my local dealership, receiving an unacceptable response from a salesman, who advised him to check online, as they had none in stock. When I convinced him to come and meet the sales manager directly, I called ahead and provided the sales manager a heads up regarding his previous experience. By the time we arrived at the dealership, the sales manager had called a meeting of his staff to review the customer service expectations. This dealership has customer service standards and the sales manager enforces them. As always, leadership starts at the top. When stopping in early in the morning, I have observed their daily training session with the entire sales team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monoman Posted February 21, 2022 Share Posted February 21, 2022 17 hours ago, JT42 said: The other thing that really chaps my ass is the lack of product knowledge. Last three Ford's I've bought, I can 100% say I knew the options better than salesperson, and up until this ordering debacle I didn't really do as much research as I do now. This is so true. I cannot remember the last time I was impressed with a salesperson's knowledge at a dealership. I always ask how long they have worked at a dealership and it usually "a few months". On a rare occasion they have been doing it for years. I guess most don't last and the ones that do become sales managers. In any case, these days I really just need a salesperson to get me the keys so I can take a test drive and pricing. Maybe I ask them questions about what's available in stock, what's coming in, and ordering possibilities. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Misnjak Posted February 21, 2022 Share Posted February 21, 2022 Anyone complete an order purchase through Koons of Woodbridge VA and if so what was the outcome? I've read some complaints about last minute bs with pricing (adding on second destination/delivery fee; finianicng department hassles etc) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I ordered my F350 SRW King Ranch 12/7/2021 with a few more options plus what you got but same color. My VIN ends in D59… so if they are really building 8000 per week, yours is 8,997 trucks ahead of mine or a little over 7 days. Mine is scheduled to be built the week of 2/28, schedule slid twice from 2/14. I’m not sure the vin has anything to do with when they are actually built but more when it’s scheduled mine ends with D59…. 350 6.7 DRW lariat it’s been pushed 3 times currently scheduled 2/28….. fingers crossed it doesn’t get bumped again Edited February 21, 2022 by Fzappa1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another part may be that things are changing so fast right now and for the last 10 years or so. It used to be that the only real options were chrome, AC and a radio. ?

My build date slid another two weeks today, this is the fourth slide, started out as 2/14/ then 2/21/ then 2/28, now it's 3/14. Only neat aspect is my build is now scheduled for 3/14 which is Pi Day, or maybe Pi Week, lol. I wonder if the date is sliding due to a bunch of folks that placed orders way before me are having their parts come in, their place in line is before me so I rightly get bumped which is only fair. I think you're correct, the VIN is just the next sequential number available when the build first gets scheduled. If there were no trucks with parts on back order and everything was coming in JIT, then the VIN would probably be in sync with the build sequence, but obviously I'm making an assumption, but the computer program creating the schedule knows. 787Toolman Edited February 22, 2022 by 787Toolman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
