Why is ford delivering recently built cars rather then those produced months ago. Nothing they do makes sense.

I agree with you that it's BS that a dealer can submit an order without an allocation. I talked to a dealer that wanted to put my order in hoping they would get an allocation. What was explained to me is that there are shady dealers out there that will submit a retail order using a "ghost customer" to get more cars sent to them. Apparently this is Ford's way of only sending cars to dealers that can actually move inventory. Rural dealers are much more likely to move trucks than Mustangs so Ford is only going to send them 1 or 2 Mustangs a year (this is the case with my local dealers). If I had left my order with the original dealer it may have eventually gotten picked up, but who knows when? I think Ford definitely has favorite dealers in their network and favors those over smaller dealers.If the dealer has no allocation then why would Ford accept the order from them in the first place? Ford confirming a dealer order directly with a customer that they have concurrently chosen not to fulfill before being placed is bad form if true. From a customer service perspective, it bears some responsibility to Ford for confirming with you.
Correct. Just because you get the email did not mean that dealer has an allocation.sooo that email doesnt mean they have allocation then?
