Well, I finally got my VIN.... I am excited, but bummed at the same time. Dealer says I SHOULD get it before XMas... Build Date is 11/22. Thats still 3 weeks out, plus two weeks minimum after that before I take delivery. I might just say to heck with it and go buy a freakin overpriced one. I cant believe it is going to take 12 weeks to get my car.

Go spend the difference (overpriced vs your order) on your favorite vice to tide you over.

If I spend $6,000-$7,000 on purses, chocolate or clothes, my husband will divorce me then buy the darn thing for himself!

GhostTX

Chocolate...clothes...accessories... sounds like a winning combination that you both can enjoy.

VIN for me too!

Actually the dealer called today and said they may have gotten it in so they were going to email it to me. No email yet, but it its true then i can finally know that at least its on schedule and should be arriving in december.

Jessica.. When did you place your order? How long was it between order date and the VIN. I ordered my car on 10/21..

JessicaRabbitt

Arvil, my order was placed on 9/23.. I was hoping that using a dealer that has one of the largest allocations would mean I could get mine in a decent time frame, but, that doesnt seem to be the case.

If I get it by 12/23 it will be 12 weeks. I am also annoyed by the fact that there are people who ordred after me, and already took delivery of thier cars.

Arvil19

*sniffle* If that time frame is accurate that means no GT for me till Jan. Which could be good beacue maybe they'll have some incentives by then.

Ordered on 9/23? What priority did they put in as? And did they put it in on time? I ordered on 9/23 as well. My car is sitting on the lot at AAI waiting to be shipped. I know of a few others on here that ordered around that time as well. We all had build dates of 10/25. I'm not ragging on ya, but I wonder if your dealer held up the order for a few weeks.

My husband just called and ripped them up for it, and come to find out, it was ordered on 9/23, but, it went on a Hold. No idea why, but it did. that bumped me back about two weeks.

When I asked my dealer about folks with my order date being built weeks before me, he had no answer. He gets 30 05s. They are not shipping them all at once, and the orders are getting built first. I am #18 out of 25 orders at RSM. I have a priority 10.

He doesnt even expect his next round of 05s to hit his lot until around Turkey Day.

Its an allocation game, and some are getting em, it seems the ones without a lot of pre-orders. RSM is also the only Orange County CA Dealership not marking up, and accepting plans.

That's strange about your VIN#. I placed my order on the 29th of September and received my VIN# the very next day.

JessicaRabbitt

Man, I am already close to wasting 7k on the black GT sitting in a dealership near me... all you guys with earlier build dates and later order dates are making me wanna cry!

SurfnSoCal

I wonder if mine is on a hold. I am number 21 there....being three cars behind yours...I may not get it till January too. I read somewhere that the Ford Plant closes for a couple of weeks arround Christmas. If mine isn't on a hold...maybe it will come the same time as yours Jessica. I am going to call on Monday, and make them move me to a Priority 10. I am at 15 now. maybe that will help.

we shall see...

Red/Black GT

Hey Jessica, I am in the same boat as you are. Ordered on 09/21 and got a VIN today. The Schedule Date is 11/22 but the Status still says SUB TO PLANT.
What does your status say??
I am confused as to how I have a schedule date but the status has not been set to scheduled.

JessicaRabbitt

Hey Rick, the Fleet Manager Daniel is my salesman. He told me when he called with my VIN that the ones behind me are slated as "Clean, Unscheduled". There were 6 of us on Hold. The ones before us didnt go on Hold, and it seems the ones behind me arent, just my @#$%^&* luck! The cars were on hold for about 7-10 days. Once the Hold was lifted we got our VINs and build dates.

I am just mad cuz most times it seems the build date is the week following the VIN assignment. Mine is 3 weeks after VIN assignment.

Jessica, calm down, before you know it, your car will be there, exactly as you want it, at the price you want. Don't give in and get ripped off, because in the long run, it fuels the markup douchebags.

You're right, it's an allocation game. If somebody went in on the same day as you at another dealership that had no orders in on stangs and had available allocation, that person got pulled for production immediately.

We ordered about the same time, the difference being I've known all along that the earliest I'd get my Stang is December

Hang in there! it's almost done

GTJeff

Yeah, don't feel bad. How do you think I feel..
I ordered in June and their still jacking me around... :angry:

ecgirard2

I am having similar issues with my dealer. I ordered 6/5 and just got my VIN. My build date is 11/8-11/15.

kerafaith

At least you FINALLY got a vin & build date. I ordered the day before you did & called my dealer Wed. The GM told me that it is still sitting in the system as clean, unscheduled & has been since 9/30. I am calling him again Monday to see what the heck is taking soo long.

Since mine is a buy back from Ford they were supossed to call MI with the order number so they could go ahead & pull my order & speed it up. But I guess that hasn't happened. So, when I call Mon, if he will give me the order number I will call MI myself & tell them to speed it up.

Anyway. Back on topic. Good luck with the wait. And hopefully it won't be too painful of a wait for you.

JessicaRabbitt

I am waiting.... just not so patiently. Hubby has pulled whatever strings he can, LOL which isnt any at this point, and that drives him crazy! LOL

Anyway, Kerafaith, you outta get in the habit of calling your dealer on Fridays. They update the systems on Thursdays. My salesman can set his calander by my calls, LOL!!!!
