3 days of waiting and waiting when will it get here? I thought now that I ordered it would so much easier now. It’s not! Even when he said June maybe July I thought “great” bigger down payment smaller payments. Today it feels like something out of Blade Runner.

Whaddya mean? After I was serialized it got real hard. Everyone's saying the closer it gets the harder the wait. Well I'm agreeing on that. Used to think about the car a couple times a day. Now its all I am thinking about. I can only imagine how I'm going to be after that evil computer lady tells me Produced!

If thats the case, I'm screwed. I'll be a nervous wreck, lose my mind (not a stretch here folks) and won't be able to drive it. Then the wife will get it.....now its all coming together.

When I first ordered all I could think about was the car, then I thought about only once every few days, now after being serialized, its every second again.

If it doesn’t kill you it will only make you stronger?

How could Ford build one convertible before taking care of people waiting 98 and 115 days?

Day 4, I wonder if anyone has even look at the order yet?

We have a enough snow last night I can only dream of putting chains on Mustang for some winter fun.

When I ordered my car on 10/20 the dealer told me "the car will be here in six weeks". On 11/4 (two weeks later) I finally got my DORA and VIN. and at that time the dealer tells me "it was scheduled for build 10/27", but after visiting this site I decided to call Ford Customer Care (not robot lady) and found that the car was on a Temp Delay, and remained in that status until early December when it was scheduled for build week of 12/13, then delivered on 12/28.
I waited nine weeks (72 days) for my car, and as others have posted before they have been waiting ALOT longer for their cars...98 days, 115 days...some as long as six months, if not longer.

I forgot to add that during the time my car was on a delay I kept reading about people that ordered around the time I did, and AFTER I ordered taking delivery of their cars.

The hardest part of the wait for me was the period from build week to the day I took delivery, but once you have the car you're going to forget the wait.

3 days, you've got to be kidding right. Most of us have waited 3-4 months and still waiting. I no its a nice car, but 3 days, have some patience and maybe theyll make it, maybe not, dont no since I still don't have mine. good luck tho.

Day 5, and I wish I was kidding 100%, the convertible being delivered before catching up on the orders from months ago really bugs me, and I know I'm driving my family and co-workers nutty.

Day 6, find out that dealer didn't put my order in the system because they didn't know how to put our name in order so it would be on window sticker. I don’t understand why they didn’t just call me. They have a regional rep in to day that will show them. :bang:
