Mine has iup and was built already just waiting for delivery. We need to find out whats delaying delivery now.

 

Sure, go to a dealer and have him check fmcdealer for you. He can show you that the start date on the v6 manual is 11/29, and the IUP status is "backordered" [/b][/quote]
Yea but the V6 manual was a planned delay to ramp up the most popular combinations. V6 manuals are typically the least-ordered combination by dealers.

 

I just got a call from my dealer today stating the my v6 is delayed due to the iup.

 

Got a call from my dealer. He says that they expected mine and 1 other in yesterday but in fact they were held for quality assurance and are cleared. However not physically on a truck they are in line and should be here next week. He also said all the ones held are now getting the all clear.

 

Yes, because it was built before they ran out of the IUP ... duh ...

 

Lighten up grant, not sure when you became the appointed "forum ****" but its getting old.

A simple "search first" comment is enough for the new people, no need to be a jerk.

 

alright, I'm a believer now, don't shoot me as I did post that I didn't know... however now I see the light. I'm just hoping to get mine before March. I could care less about having it to look pretty in my garage.

 

This is not true. Orders with names on them are getting built before ones for stock. Depending on the availability of parts of course. :notnice:

 

There is a need when someone questions me when they have no idea what they are talking about.

I agree, the comment toward rags was a little harsh, but if you look at his post history he makes those sorts of posts very often. I will not apologize for the other posts, however, as they were not attacking anyone.

Depends on the dealership. If the dealer put all his orders at priority 10 and the customer orders at 11 and higher, he would get his cars first.

Its not the way its supposed to be done, but with 5000 dealers, you get some that aren't going to do it right.

 

When BEK intially reported the IUP delay, he had mentioned that there was some communication from Ford that went out to all the dealers.

Could Bek,Kevin or any other dealer member here, please comment if they have received any communication from Ford following that?
I know its been just 1-2 weeks since Ford put a hold on IUP. Would anybody know, how long could it take for ford to resolve the IUP supply issue.

 

not attacking anyone... hmm I dunno it sounded like a pretty open ended attack to me. Maybe I did post something that I thought was correct. To correct it is one thing, to just be an hiney about it is another. Typical of most people I've met in Conneticut though... a__holes

 

There is definitely a shortage of the IUP. In fact, we were told this week that there would be no V6 with IUP scheduled. I would imagine they are trying to accommodate the GTs. There is also a restriction on GTs at 30% of production. These are commodity restrictions based on a shortage of parts.
There is also an issue with cars that are already built. Ford has been holding some of these for quality checks. I have not been able to get a definite answer as to why. This hold was originally on GTs only but I was told today that my V6 was also being held.

 

Sigh ... don't fight me, you won't win. If you had used the search feature, you would have seen how far incorrect you were. Believing wrong information is one thing. Giving other people wrong information is another, such as dealers giving the wrong info that we all hate. I was not attacking you, you would know if I was. My worst pet peeve is people passing off wrong information ... John Kerry comes to mind. (That was uncalled for, I know)

Oh, btw, they hate it when you bypass the swear filter. Am I an hiney ? Yes. Thank you for the compliment.

 

So no V6s with IUP, and also holding GTs to 30% ... thats a definite slowdown in the timeline ...

 

it was edited because it was not filtered, better to be on the "bypass" filter then to just ignore it all together

 

No need for that. :notnice:

PS: You spelled it wrong too.

 

ok ok, stop bickering.

 

If they are not building v6 with manual yet and GT's to 30% does this mean 70% of production is 6 cylinder auto's?

 

Geez, worst nightmare, V6 manual with IUP.

My dealer: "worst case, February or March delivery. Want to change your order?"

Me: ?????????? .......days go by....???..??..?.... "No, leave it stand as is....."

( I could probably do without the IUP... I'll wait 'til mid November before deciding... )

My order has been in the system since Ford originally pulled 1st set of orders....

Boy, this is a looooonnnnnnggggg wait, I hope my 97 Sunfire 110K miles holds out that long and makes it thru another winter up here.... :bang:
