well i ordered my 05,gt,sonic blue, iup, active anti theft, wheel locks, ect.... well after having my salesman tell me the whole month your car is coming in next week. i got poed and call ford customer service, to find out the status of my car. it was in the same status as when i called almost a month ago. so i am sitting there and try to call my sales rep his not there at the moment.. so i say screw this i am going there. i go there to find out they are still waiting for it to come in. so they check there print out to see when it`s coming in. it`s not on there, called storage it`s not there. check the computer say it was shipped march 29th, expected date april 1st. on there system it says they have the car. they said they had a ford rep go through there inventory last week in person touching every car and checking vin#`s ect... it was not there . they called storage to check again this time with a walk through it`s not there, sowhen i called ford about my car i was told that it was in the body shop for final assembly process. but this thing does not look good for me . dealer telling my my car may have been damaged or worse. from the minute i heard this i told him to call the regional rep. well it`s friday and you know they get lazy on friday called them but never got a call back . i told them as soon as we can talk to someone i want to be there and see what the heck is going on. i hope it is just some computer problems or something of the sort. but it looks like i may not get my o5 the worst part no sonic blue next year and i am not sure i want to buy a 06 at even if they gave it to me for the same price as my 05. only time will tell . i will let you guys know the outcome as soon as i hear something..

Whatever you do, make them get you another car. You don't want to take delivery of a car that was damaged during assembly or delivery. Especially when it seems like Ford won't own up to it and tell you what was wrong. :nono:

Man, I am sorry to hear that.
But, to keep things in perspective, that is certainly not the worst news you could ever get.

Yes - hopefully it will all work out for you in the end. I guess you can be happy that it didn't suffer $795 worth of damage...

Ok......It's great to hear that Ford is helping you guys out. Those of you who ordered 1 car & then got another, or it got dropped or it came in the wrong color. Realy it's fa-freaking-tastic that Ford will expodite your orders.
But my rant is this, why was my order also expodited & it took me 5 months to get my car & you guys get an expodited order & have a build week & vin 2 weeks later?
I mean if Ford is going to expodite orders then they should expodite ALL orders the same way.
Rant off
Congrats on the expodited car & I hope they don't drop this one for you too.
