My dealer (small dealership, getting one car, had to get certified, blah blah) told me today that my order has been changed from clean/unsched to Material Hold. Also told me that according to the Regional Rep there is a lottery system for allocation starting in July? What do both of these mean?

The material hold is normal according to a previous post by 07 Shelby. The parts for the car must be gathered.

The lottery is probably a way to try and give smaller dealerships with less clout a way to fuflfill their orders in a manner more in line with the other bigger, more influential dealerships??????

See the "Ford Dealership Questions" thread.

Does anyone know if this lottery for small dealerships is really happening? I heard it was supposed to take place on August 15th, but that's just the rumor on the street. Can anyone confirm?
