I just called the automated line and they said that the 05s are balanced out and that they will not be producing my car.

I ordered in freaking January! This stinks hiney. :bang: :bang: :bang:


:cry:

 

I'm very sorry. Hopefully you can find a dealer who can help get you an '06 ASAP.

 

I would be on the horn to my dealer and find out why they let it go this long without doing anything or getting your car scheduled.

 

I would find a different dealer and order an 06!

 

luck of the irish for me---i ordered jan 14 and received a build date of 7/18---my sales guy told me he gave a shout to the regional rep when he was in their dealership and badgered him for me---

 

can you find one on a lot somewhere? What was it exactly?

that stinks!

 

I don't get it - you're in Michigan, for criminey's sake!!

I'm in Virginia, ordered mine in March and got it late May. And Stangarang (buddy of mine here) ordered his a few weeks before me from a different dealer and got it a few weeks ahead of me! Ten weeks for both of us!

Your dealer screwed you big time, methinks......

 

its all about allocation...as well, alot of us here in michigan get A-plan, and I heard a rumor that for a while, they were instructed not to build A-plan vehicles to increase profit per vehicle, probably for earnings release----

 

In Michigan I have not been able to even get an order placed, let alone have it get cancelled. Local dealer knows what I want but can't place the order for whatever reason - allocations, etc. We just build them all for those states that do get allocation lots it seems. I have seen exactly one Mustang GT on the road here to date and less than a handful of V6's.

 

Yea, that stinks big time. :angry: I ordered one the beginning of February and it is the same as yours "balanced out for the year, your vehicle will not be built". Luckily I found one on the dealer's lot. Time to hit Forddirect.com or possibly Ebay has quite a few listings. Good luck!!!

 

welcome to the club! my dealer is putting my 06 in Friday - If I get more BS i'm going to another dealer. I want the car by Nov.

 

I recieved the same bad news today as well.

 

Did you inquire about that "other one" on the lot?

 

No, it had a stick, and Sharon doesn't want to drive five minutes to work with a stick. Oh yea, and it had dark charcoal. She wants your light parchment. (Not picky, is she?)

 

that stinks man

 

Michigan not the trouble, we are driving 350 miles to Michigan to get ours. We talked to dealers in NY, PA, OH, and MI before finding a dealer with alocation.

I'm sorry this happen to you hopefully you can get an 06 fast.

 

Will the dealer still honor your January price protection?

Mine won't --- he claims it is a Ford mistake because they sent him vehicles with higher priority #s than I had! ( I had x-plan)

Let me know, I think Ford should honor these.

 

All the dealer had to do was call his zone manager to get it scheduled. A lot of dealers prioritized their orders to get the stock ones that they could sell at MSRP+ rather than the low profit plan vehicles. It really is not Fords problem rather a problem with the dealer.

 

Thanks Ed,
That's what I needed to know. You just saved me from making a fool out of myself raising kane with Ford!

 

I ordered mine in December and just got her last week! I was told I had one of the last ones made.
