Hey Guys,
First real time posting here so forgive me, but I've been lurking and following a bit so I'm not completely out of the loop. Anyways here's my problem, I placed my order for a Orange Spice ST, with everything but a sunroof April 27th,2018. NBD was told 6-8weeks as is the norm probably, a week after that I got onto the Ford private offer in hopes I would be able to use it with my order once it arrived combined with current rebates.
So 6-8 weeks rolls around no car, was told not gonna be here til July-Aug. again kind of the norm I've seen. So I ask last week when I found out the rebate would expire the 9th, to my dealer if it was possible to protect the rebate itself, sales manager says he will look into it and get back to me. This was July 3rd, obviously people have days off for the Fourth, but I hear nothing from this guy all the way into the following week Monday. Contact again on Monday in regards to it and was told he went on vacation and that they'd try to get ahold of him to get more information. Wait a day, still no info. Well it turns out today my F*^k1ng car showed up at the Dealer....3 days after my extra $2k "expired" My question is what if anything have any of you all done if placed in this situation and what should I do. I've talked to the salesman in regards to the car and stated this is a big deal for me $2k is a decent chunk of change to lose out on for 3 days of difference, he said he would work on it and get back to me. But as of right now I'm not super hopeful, I'm not above walking away from the car for leverage as honestly the general apathy I've gotten in regards to this has been rather off putting. But obviously...I don't want to do that.
If you all have any opinions I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks
