Tight Supply of Mustangs now?
I have been waiting almost 4 weeks for a VIN for my 2013 GT prem and still nothing. Others have said they have been waiting longer now than people were just a few weeks ago.
Today I went to my local Ford dealer to get a car inspected and I was talking to the service manager. (He bought the first 5.0 2013 Mustang they got in, in DIB.) He was telling me that the 5.0 Mustang supply is very tight right now and he doesn't know why. I also overheard while I was there a salesman trying to trade inventory with another dealer trying to get a Mustang.
Just my luck, I go and order my first car in 34 years and there is a sudden lack of supply... 8-(

Ordered my GT Premium on 6/11, and nothing yet. I was told by Deysha nothing this week, maybe next week. Some on here have received a car in 5 - 6 weeks, but my dealer said 8 - 10 weeks. Most do not list what priority the dealer assigned to their order, and I don't really know how much of an impact that number really has. Mine was assigned a "19"?

I ordered mine 6/8 and is priority 11. The best we can get I believe is a 10. Mine is 11 which I assume means there is one person ahead of me. Maybe your 19 means there are 9 people ahead of you and with allocations, that may translate to a long wait. But I don't know. I hope both of us gets some good news soon...

I agree that something is wrong. But then again it probably comes down to allocation. I ordered my Boss back in February but I knew it was going to be a second quarter build. As soon as it was allocated it took a total of 5-6 weeks for it to arrive at my dealer.

Hey guys, the OP ordered it from me, and these cars are for some reason tight night now, in the region. Don't ask me why, but they are. I've done everything I can (as has my fleet manager) in regards to emailing our rep to get it built sooner. I only wish I could snap my fingers and get it here quicker. But I can't 
Joe, I will get you your car, even if I have to build it myself!!

For future reference, orders are scheduled based the following criteria:
-the priority code rating
-the dealer's allocation for each production week
-the ordered option content
-the receipt date
The receipt date is a factor when breaking ties for orders with the same priority code. I hope this explains it a little for you guys.

Deysha,
on the dealer allocation for each production week...this confuses me a little...my dealer says they have allocation for a mustang, how do these 2 things mesh?...is there something i can ask my dealer to make sure this is correct?
originally my dealer gave me 6-8 weeks...which i am right at 5 now and i am getting concerned that this order will take forever to get pulled

Like I said you ordered shortly after mine and you still have yet to see a VIN or a build date or even a Window sticker. Are you sure its ordered at all?

I was at my dealer on tues looking at other cars, & since i already have my mustang he would have absolutely no reason to make stuff up..
He said ford cut mustang production 40% and they are having very hard time getting any right now and that only retail (type 1) orders are going through.

It sounds like the priority code on mine "19" might be an issue. Can the dealer change the priority code on an existing order and not loose the original order date?
