Message: <blockquote data-quote="Johnny Mo" data-source="post: 1546" data-attributes="member: 57"><p>I think the flaw in that logic is that the dealer got the # of units in their allocation based on their performance - whether it was a combo of all sales, bronco conversions, BS sales etc.  So technically the allocation was still earned by the dealer - it just so happens that X number of early timestamps are part of their mix and that's how FORD designated who got a GT.  At the end of the day - dealership performance had to have been the primary factor, which is why they get to sell to "another long time reservation holder" and not necessarily the next timestamp on the list.  This unfortunately puts most of the leverage with the dealership.  The more I hear these horror stories the more I appreciate what a great group of people I am dealing with here in NY.  The funny thing is they were not even my first choice of dealer, I tried 4 other dealers first to negotiate a group pricing contract, the other 4 all laughed at me.  This dealership I worked with is probably 3rd smallest of the 5 so not a big volume or big money area.</p></blockquote><p></p>
