Brought my allocation with me to new dealer

I was lucky to get invited in the most recent April wave to order and got saddled with a dealer charging $7500 adm. After shopping around I found another dealer with a more reasonable fee structure. What was interesting was I changed my dealer and was able to successfully place an order for it and got confirmed by the dealer today.

For those who want to switch dealers, I was able to successfully do this and keep my allocation. Although the dealer I'm working with now did need to reach out to their Ford rep.

Wanted to keep people aware of the process as I'm sure others would want to do the same.

I did get stuck with errors on Ford's website to start but it worked out.

It makes me extra Happy I made them lose out in business. You would think after attempting to negotiate with them on a lucrative sale the adm was none-negotiable. They even had it set to $2500 on the website but after calling me they laid the $7500 number on so that was pretty nice I didn't complete the order online with them.

I mostly posted this because I didn't see many people posting a definite path to complete orders with another dealer once they got the email to order.

Getting a Lariat ER. Exciting!!!

Ford's customer service line was helpful, they just told me to tell the dealer to reach out to their Ford rep for the area. It looks like she manually did mine on the corporate end. I received an email that said please enter your order by March 31st (was April 21st) to not miss out. After that I had no errors on the website and the dealer change showed up
