DORA

At what point in the order process should I see a priced DORA from my dealer. I specified C09 when I ordered, but they tell me all they get is basically a list of the options until a VIN is assigned. Then they get the prices. This list they showed me had price level 515 so I said they (Ford) knows how much everything is now so why do I have to wait. They just said that's the way it is.

Hopefully this truck won't get stolen like the '03 did when they flashed it.

"They" are either ignorant or lying.

The dealership receives the DORA (electronic transmission similar to an E-Mail) not later than the next business day after they process the order into the big Ford computer in the sky.

You're apparently dealing with an ignorant salesman. Don't do that. Deal with a manager that knows what's going on.

You should have ordered from Bobby or Cochise. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/warmsmile.gif[/img]

Re: DORA

Out of curiousity, when did you place your order? I see you indicated you got price level 515, but I see that Ford now has price level 520 out. Not sure when 520 became effective.
