Anyone know what the holiday schedule will be for the production line? My dealer said told me on monday he thinks my order could be pulled this week. But with Thanksgiving thursday, will they pull orders? Will they pull them friday instead?

10/19 order was recieved - priority 10
still waiting for order to be pulled.

GT Deluxe
Lime
medium parchment
IUP
auto
bright wheels
active anti theft

 

The e-mail I got this week states there is NO scheduling this week. Scheduling will resume next Thursday evening.

 

I ordered 10/21 and I have heard nothing from my dealer.

Porkster I notice you have IUP and I think IUP orders are going to be held up.

 

Even on the GT? My dealer said the IUP was no longer on hold... ?? He said he put an order in the system and didnt get any material holds on it. I sure hope it gets pulled soon! Its been over a month already! sure was hoping to have it before Christmas...

 

Dealer called today (Wednesday) and said my car was "bucked" this morning! He said it would be made today and tomorrow.

Its been a long wait - since July - but the car should be at Rick Ford in Hemlock, Michigan the middle of next week, John Rick said today.

Ordered Satin Silver GT with dark charcoal leather, automatic, spoiler, IUP, upgrade wheels, Shaker 500 radio.

I'm in the same boat as you. Ordered on 10/19, as of Monday still clean/unscheduled. On top of that it snowed about 6" in K.C. last night.

Yeah I ordered 10/18 and still nothing either. I deleted my spoiler yesterday. I'm hoping that wil speed up my process so I can get mine before next Christmas. lol

 

Dammit! I guess that pretty much dashes hopes to get mine before Christmas :bang:

 

Does anybody know for sure whether priority 1 or 10 is more important. :scratch: I'm just trying to figure out which way the rungs on the ladder go....

 

For next weeks scheduling, this is the commodities update:

2005 Mustang

Exterior Sport Package 13%

Interior Upgrade Package 17%

4.6L 3V OHC w/Automatic 7%

4.0L 3V OHC w/manual 24%

Interior Sport Appear. Pkg 48%


As you can see, there isn't technically a hold on the IUP but there aren't many available.

 

Ted haven't you heard..... Avoid salespeople with 2 first names at all costs! Just kidding.....enjoy your new ride!

 

Priority 1...or priority 10? Which receives preferrence? ......'jus curious where my #9 stands in the pecking order?

 

I understand it to be the lower the priority number, the higher the priority. ie, 1 is better than 10; 10 is better than 20. My dealer said 10 was the highest he can enter for a retail order, but that is higher than inventory orders.

 

10 is the best priority a dealer can issue. 1-9 are reserved for factory use, very rarely see these used.

 

Paul....I am looking at my order print out from my salesmanager, and on the back page right next to the words 'priced DORA' it says code 09. Maybe I'm just reading this wrong, and this doesn't mean priority #? This is the only place on the whole order form that even resembles what I would take to be a priority #.

 

No hold that I can see on the IUP. I have one being built on the 6th of December with a 29 Oct order date (That puts the build at the 6 week mark, anticipating delivery at the 8 week mark?)

your priority no.is on the same line as your order no at the top left of the dora

 

That is the order confirmation, not the DORA. On the DORA it is near the top, on the right just under the date.

 

With 7% for 4.6V Automatic, does that mean there is a bigger shortage of automatic tranmissions gor GT's?

 

I believe what you are seeing is the option code C09, which is the order code for the actual priced DORA. This is what tell Ford's system to print a priced DORA the next morning. As for the priority, it should read PRIORITY: and then your number.
