New Truck
The dealership called me last Friday and said my truck was assigned a VIN number and that the truck went from priority 10 to priority 1? I don't know if that is just BS trying to make me feel good or what. He did say I would get my truck a month earlier that what they told me....so we'll see.
I asked about closing on my truck. He said he thought I had to wait until the truck comes in. It was my understanding once the truck is given a VIN i can close when ever I want. There is no real good factory incentives right now, so i don't really care, but if 0% comes up, i would like to take advantage of it, can I do that even though my truck may not be delivered yet? Anyone know what Ford has planned in the next month to month and half?
Thanks

I agree. When I ordered my '05, I waited until it came in to close on it. I was there when they took it off the carrier and watched the driver when he brought it off. Nothing wrong with the truck at all. It just needed cleaning up. I looked at the option sheet I had filled out and compared it to the window sticker. Lo and behold, I had asked them to order the captain's chairs and it had the split bench seat in it. I didn't want them to try to part and piece things together so the dealer offered me a $500.00 credit for parts / service and knocked another $500 off the price. I was satisfied and now prefer the bench due to the number of people I have with me from time to time.
Point is, check it over with a fine tooth comb before you sign anything.

Thanks. I am going to wait until it comes in unless Ford has 0% financing. Since it is the Harley truck, Ford never has very good incentives on their "higher" end vehicles. So I am crossing my fingers they will have 0% or at least special financing. If not no biggie, but it would be a nice bonus.
