Not that I know of. He just keeps telling me he can't get any information on my order. One person says it hasn't been ordered yet and my salesman says it has.
Just ask to see your order on their daily status report. Won't list the options, but will show when ordered, what priority and current staus.

is there any reason the salesman would not want to give you a copy of the DORA? Cause I asked a couple of times and was told that "The Dora came and went". But I picked up my car on tuesday so no problems for me!
Usually the DORA will show both the MSRP and the invoice. For those that are paying MSRP or close to it, the dealer may not want to show you the invoice number. Just a guess though.

Sinse my dealer says he will send me my new DORA as soon as he gets it, how long should i wait before calling them and bugging them about it? Should i wait about a week or 2 until when they say my VIN should be in so i can ask them about both at once?

StangNut did you order a car from Karpo? Are they shipping it to you in Alabama? My dealership is "having a hard time getting information about my order". Why? They ordered it. Shouldn't they be able to find out about it? They can't even tell me what thier allocation is or how many orders are before mine.
I ordered from his dealership, but it was a different salesman.
(Sorry, Karpo. I didn't even know you were on here and with such a great price, I couldn't pass it up... INVOICE + $55!!!!)
As for them shipping the car to AL...
Yes and no.
It is being drop shipped to where I work staright from the factory, so no shipping charges, and Van Bortel Ford will never even see the car.
It's like ordering from one dealer and having it shipped to, or "dropped off" at another.

I'd say wait about 1 day. The DORA is printed the morning after the order is placed. It should already be in your hands.

Yeah I mentioned it to my dealer too and he said that all I need is the vehicle confirmation sheet that I have, and really didn't seem to know anything about a DORA either.

I paid 300 UNDER invoice. Never did see my DORA, but picked my car up this past tuesday. I still am a little curious as to why it seemed like the salesman was "hiding" the DORA from me. Oh well...doesn't matter, I'm driving my car and loving it!

welp i got my dealer to give me my DORA and they got my color changed to the correct color, i don't have a build date, due to the IUP hold but it says nothing about a spoiler hold, whihc i am getting. My one question is that by where my VIN number would be is a strange mix of letters and numbers VHT80M 5... anyone know what these mean? many thanks

P.S. when i told my boyfriend i got my DORA, you would have thought i just picked my actual car up from the dealer i was so excited!!

That is a partial VIN which shows what model you ordered, T80.
