[QUOTE="xlover, post: 1839739, member: 59294"] Ah ok, I thought based on the matter of fact statement you were bringing a new piece of inside information to the table… For OP, he is definitely in a tight spot. The way ford is dealing with raptors right now is a dealer is told a fixed number of retail allocations that ford plans to deliver on for the upcoming model year. Then as the year goes on ford cycles through those allocations one by one. When ford actually picks the allocation for a dealer then the VIN will be generated and the truck formally scheduled. So not having a VIN at this point does not mean the allocation is vaporware, assuming the dealer was truthful that your place in line reflected an actual allocation they were told by ford would be built. (Example if OP was #2 of 3 total) BUT for sure having a VIN would mean significantly more order security. what does matter for OP is how ford shifts these allocations to a new dealer. The dealer has full say in which of their raptor orders gets pulled when ford grants an allocation. So say dealer X closing down meant their 3 allocations are going to dealer Z, and now dealer Z has 6 total instead of 3 total. Dealer Z could choose to select the trucks from their own waitlist customers before OP and even freeze out OP in favor of their own customers if they had more orders than actual allocations prior to the shift. Not even layering in no price protections between dealers. [USER=62904]@Gopher11[/USER] I would aggressively push for who this new dealer is, I think the overall theme in responses that your allocation is at risk is definitely true. As much as it sucks I would start ramping up calls for backup orders until I have confirmation of where the allocations are going and how they are going to handle [/QUOTE]
