They have a firm order.....and are almost certain to follow thru. Just check in with them next week to let them know you are on the ball. I am in the same boat B)

Scheduling is a term that means Ford actually pulls an order from the order bank and says "we will build this car on this exact day. Until a car is scheduled, it is just a ghost in the wind. B)
June 17th is the first day Ford will schedule 05 Mustangs.

Ok, so on June 17th what should I ask my salesperson? Should they have some sort of 'proof' that the car has been scheduled? Is it in my best interest to speak with my salesperson or the ordering manager about this? Thanks for the help!

Yes, right now Ford is pulling the first 05 Mustangs from dealer order banks and will assign exact production days by Monday. Our first car will be scheduled next Thursday.
Psst,,, Our first car is available for sale.

So Kevin, heres my deal. My salesman told me today that they were allotted two GT's and the first was to go to the dealer and the second was mine. The first was ordered on the 17th and mine on the 18th. He said he would fax me a copy of my DORA on Monday the 21st. I've really been on him about ensuring that mine is in the system with Ford and he assured me that it was to be. Am I forgetting to ask any "Magic Questions" or does it seem to be all good?

I just received the following email from my salesman:
"Your Order was Submitted to plant. We can check next week to see if it is assigned a build date. So as of now your mustang is the first of our orders and at this time the only mustang order that Ford has submited to the plant for build".
I don't know how likely it is that mine is the first order submitted to the plant, but it sounds like a step forward in the process nonetheless.

BEK, I have a Ford type question for you. I already have the DORA paperwork. With regard to scheduling the car to be built, is this something that I have to pester the dealer to do, or is it a business process that they would automatically do as part of the order/purchase ? Just kind of wondering how this works.
Thanks so much in advance.

Wow, I just realized I pretty much answered this same question a few posts up. I think I'll use this:
I must like being a know-it-all. :worship:

Thank you BEK355, and sorry for asking you something you already answered above. I have contacted the salesman a couple of times about the scheduling, but don't have any news yet. I also asked how many they were allocated, but he did not know about that, nor how many other orders they have for the '05. He did tell me that I am one of the first. In some way I was hoping that it was someone's job at the dealer to follow my order and get the car scheduled for production, and that this was a routine thing for them. I certainly thank you for the help and guidance that you have provided, it is very nice of you to share your knowledge with us -
Hmm... wondering if I need to try and speak to someone else at the dealership ?
