Patience is the key to this game.
If you ask me, hindi ako magpapakamatay dahil lang sa exorbitant D.I., In-house this, In-house that, or whatever they throw at me just to get me to part with my hard earned money. Even if they dangle to my face the much coveted 3.2 WT, I won't flinch. And I haven't. I booked an XLT AT in White for my wife nearly 3 months ago. Still waiting.
I was in Manila about 2 weeks ago and was able to go to 2 Ford Dealerships (Q.A. and Commonwealth). I was accompanying my brother-in-law because he was canvassing for a Mustang. I asked their S.A.s if it is still difficult to get the simple variant that I want. They all said yes or "wala pa pong supply..". Anyway, almost like clock-work, both dealerships also offered me their 'trap'. I said sige nga, give me a sample computation of your scheme to "help" me get a unit right away.
The SA gave me a quote for a 2.2 WildTrak AT White. To make a long story short, I'll have to cough up at least 31% more from the SRP which will be paid in installment for at least 3 years. Just for the heck of it, I then asked when will the unit be ready if I decide to be a victim. Lo and Behold! The unit will be ready in 3 days daw when we complete the paperwork.
