To:All Ford Dealers Subject:EFC00903DC 2013 Boss 302 Dealer Allocation Last year we proved what a Mustang could do on a track and the Boss 302 is back for more, paying homage to the 1970 Boss that made it famous.
It is our hope that this allocation strategy will support your efforts in providing customers with a clear understanding of new and exciting best in class product.
METHODS FOR EARNING ALLOCATION
All Ford dealers will have the opportunity to earn a 2013 Boss 302 Mustang. There are two methods for earning allocation:
SHARE OF NATION
•Approximately 75% of the 2013 Boss 302 production will be allocated to the Ford dealers as a Share of Nation
•Those dealers that sell 75% of the retail Mustangs will participate in the Share of Nation allocation (retail Mustang sales % of Nation) -- through October would be the Top 792 Mustang dealers selling 21 or more for the time period
•12 months of sales (December 1, 2010 - November 30, 2011) will be used to determine dealers participating in the Share of Nation. A dealers opportunity to increase share of nation allocation or inclusion in the Top 75% is increased with each Mustang sold through the end of November
•Each of the dealers participating in the Share of Nation is guaranteed at least one Boss 302
LOTTERY
•Those Ford dealers not participating in the Share of Nation will be entered into a Lottery for the balance of the allocation
•Each dealership participating in the Lottery will receive one chip (entry into the lottery) for being a dealer and one chip for each retail sale over the 12-month period (December 1, 2010 - November 30, 2011)
•Those dealers with ZERO Mustang sales over the 12-month period will each receive one chip in the lottery
•No dealer will earn more then one Boss 302 through the lottery
Note: The Laguna Seca Package will be allocated by a second lottery for all dealers earning a Boss 302 through Share of Nation or Lottery.
To help manage customer expectations for ordering the 2013 Boss 302 Mustang, all 2013 MY dealer production guides will be communicated in early January. Dealers will be given their full year guide numbers along with the quarter(s) their unit(s) will be scheduled. This will enable dealers to manage customer expectations regarding availability and timing. Production is scheduled to begin in March.
IMO id dump the dealer for leading you along by the short hairs and find someone else, who knows what may be lurking in the back office. They wernt upfront with you to start with they arnt going to change. As for which car to buy look at the pics on line and do a side by side. The 2013 look nice with the exception of the tail lights but the new gizmo's inside make up for that. Also what ever was in question with our 2012 should have been worked out on the 2013. These are my thought's if I had to decide.I do know I'd dump the dealer.DBRSFO said:OK gang. I am looking for feedback on my current situation. I ordered my 2012 Boss in January, 2011. The dealer said it would be a late 1Q, or early 2Q. He lied. He knew it was a 4Q build all along. He just kept telling me all year long that the car was almost here. So here we are in December, and he just called to say the car will be here in two weeks. Do I take it, given that the 2013 have already been launched in the press? Do I tell him to stuff it? Do I tell him I will take it, but want substantial discount below MSRP? I checked EBAY, and there are more than a dozen in current dealer inventory, none of which are selling even at or slightly below MSRP. Mine is Competition Orange, with Torsion and Recaro's, and there are plenty of those on EBAY. I know these are great cars, but clearly the second I drive it off of the showroom, it will take a huge hit in value, regardless of whether some day in the very distant future they might have some collector value. Any thoughts would be appreciated.
