Blue, I have a question for ya!
Since you worked there, when does Ford assembly plant start building the new model year?
I'm just curious, as last week I tried to get a custom build order put in on a 2019 F150, but was told the next day it was too late in the model year, and the plant won't assemble one for me.
Told me I'd have to put in a build on a 2020 instead...

They are just trying to be polite..

Ya, I waited too long. The dealership said it might go through, but next day they got word that factory won't build it.
Only problem with ordering a 2020, is I lose out on some of the end of year discounts...

I think you might have missed it by maybe a week, or two.
If I'm thinking right new models start in July now, used to be September a few years back.
If they are running the same body style sometimes they will still build some till the parts run out of them since there is sometimes a yard difference in a part here, and there. That's engineering stuff, and making stuff cheaper if they can.
i was looking two nights ago for a car, and the one I was looking at to be built was not there like it was last week so I lost out, but maybe Ill find one I want on the lot still.

I keep hearing on the radio how customers get employee pricing. Is this even true? There's gotta be a catch.

I can't confirm if it was 'exactly' employee pricing, but on existing trucks in inventory they were knocking off about $10,000 on a truck with a $50,000 MSRP for me, but unfortunately they didn't have one that was quite like I wanted...Reverse Flash wrote: ↑August 12th, 2019, 6:44 pm I keep hearing on the radio how customers get employee pricing.

Sometimes they do that, but they get you on add-ons if they can, other stuff like hidden fees, and warranties also.Reverse Flash wrote: ↑August 12th, 2019, 6:44 pm I keep hearing on the radio how customers get employee pricing. Is this even true? There's gotta be a catch.
They do that to employees also by the way, but when you see the stuff like that you can still negotiate a better price.
