    Ford to cut 4,000 white-collar jobs

    Blue collars aren't safe either as plants will be shut down as well, some are no brainers, St Louis vs Louisville; some are still in the works, ie Atlanta or Wixom? Basically the cuts are around the company, not just management or not just assembly workers, it is shared by all divisions. Yes...

    Ford to cut 4,000 white-collar jobs

    Stock saw a nice rally Friday on pre-announcement news. With Ford(and GM) Wall Street is fully aware as are we that our companies are just too big. There is too much management and too many factories for the shrinking market share size Ford has, which has now been taken by Toyota(who has made it...

    BOSS, Mach1, Bullitt?

    Months ago the talk internally was only a range up to 10K. I want to say this summer the 7,200 number came up. I haven't seen anything or heard anything else since that number. It's enough. Remember we had to throw cash on the 04 Cobras, we're not doing that this time.

    BOSS, Mach1, Bullitt?

    2009MY is the refresh. Internally I've heard that the 3.5 will be the new base engine and the GT should see some performance increase. There are plans to do some other limited edition runs, hence why only 7200 Cobras are "planned" at this point going forward.

    Complaint Letter

    What a load of crap. I can understand a dealer being hesitant about doing plan business on a vehicle already in inventory if they were marking them up, but on an order? Please. X-plan commission is 6% of the vehicle price. They will also make money since the vehicle is sold within 60 days...

    Complaint Letter

    Where did you mail this to? Yes, you should immediately disclose any plan pins. Trade-ins cannot be guarenteed. Dealers will low ball you. No, dealers do not lose money on plan business, in fact they probably make more, unless they are in the standard pratice of adding dealer installed...

    How Long Did You Wait For Yours ?

    Something looks wrong here, they have a ton of unfulfilled orders dating way back. Looks like they may be out of trust with Ford and not getting in orders.

    new england auto show

    Alright somebody is awake and noticed! No in reality I saw the guy's post about being #1 for a vert in Overland, so I naturally assumed that was his dealer and claimed to be on what I thought was his list as well. Good work. SVT products are usually not on A-plan, the 04 Cobra was because well...

    got my build date and dora, now what

    When you place the order with your dealership, whomever is in charge of ordering there will place your order into the Ford system. They should also add in the option code for the priced DORA. The order can be given a priority code of 10-80 based on what else the dealer has in the system. 10 is...

    Mr Rogers, yes you would, dealer number 24408, order 0080 is the second order in the system. The guy before you also got the 18s. You may be waiting a while, not sure what the commodity % was on the 18" wheels.

    How Long Did You Wait For Yours ?

    Who is your dealer and where are they located at? You should have been bumped up to an 06 model.

    ordered cars - how long did it take to get them?

    With your order number you can call the 1-800 number. Otherwise, with a VIN it can be traced by Fordnet(employee) or through your dealership. Or....:D

    Warranty Problem

    Oh ok, just curious if there was any sort of retaliation. I remember the story of a guy with a Focus that blew up his engine, the tech knew the kid did something because the engine was non-interference. Ford was denying it, the kid was getting pissed and threatened to sue. Then the smoking gun...

    First Post! Question about factory 18" wheels, please help

    Hey Siggy you ordered 18" wheels on yours? What's your option code, 64E or 64W? I couldn't remember your order details when I put it on hold indefinitely out of pure spite.

    Warranty Problem

    You hit it right on the nose there. And looking into it some more it seems that areas that are around the same cost of living as Detriot have the Warranty & Policy work at the near or same levels as Retail Labor. I have yet to see a Cali dealer that is anywhere near equal on Retail and Warranty...
