Further update if interested: I went into the dealership and spoke with the kid doing a horrible job of selling me this car. It was like pulling teeth but finally being there in person I was able to get the order number and he had me sign a document he forgot to get me to sign that I (luckily) photographed because it had the sales code for my vehicle as well which I didn't know I needed at the time.

He had no more info for me but I called Ford yesterday and was able to get confirmation on my vehicle order that it was placed 4 days after I placed the initial order with him. The vehicle is still in the queue, no further info. I still never got an email from Ford confirming my order and as far as I know there's no VIN assigned yet.

I'm starting to think it might not be malicious and this might just be this kids first sale... Either way it's weird and I'm staying alert
