Hey guys. I thought that maybe you could shed some light on my order information.

I read here that the VIN number is more or less the order in which they are manufactured, and all the other info. So, what does all this mean?

-My last 4 numbers of VIN are 4287
-I haven't called my salesguy for a build date
-Priority 10
-Order type 2 (this is where I am stumped. Other people are either 1 or A or something like that).
-Is there a way that I can tell APPROXIMATELY when it is goig to be built?
-I do know that mine is one of the two first allocated unints.



Thanks for your insight.

My bad:

Ordered on 7/1
Order placed 7/1

No problem. Since you have a Vin # your car probably has a build date. I would just call your dealer and ask him what it is. They should be able to tell you the week it is scheduled. I am sorry but I am not up on the vin sequence so I can't help from just this info.
Congrats on your new car. It's coming....

Badandy

thanks. I guess I will have to call.

What do I ask exactly? Where do I ask him to look exactly?

Dealers get status sheets daily.On them , the scheduled build (week 0f) and various other tidbits will be displayed under your vin #. I believe(BEK/Kevin) correct me, that order type 1 is retail, order type 2 is dealer stock.

Badandy

Wow, it shouldn't be dealer stock. Does it change when it will be built? Because I know for sure mine is Priority 10 and not 99 (like lot cars).

Again, don't read too much into what i said about the order type. Just check with your sales person/manager. If you have a Vin, you almost certainly have a build date.

Badandy

Cool. I will have to call them, because I do have a VIN.


I saw your build week bullittman! Wow, very early. Congrats.

Let's see Tuesday it should be coming out of the Paint booth, then down the line to glass installation...........Oh sorry Dear I fell asleep!? Darn...It felt real

Badandy

Update- I just called the salesmanager and nothing new. There is no status such as built/bucked or even a build date at all. What is happening?

Karpro

Are you sure that is your VIN and not the order number. If it has a VIN, the build date should've been issued. If that is your order number, that is just the dealers internal tracking number.


Paul

Badandy

Yes , it is the Full vin number

I am sure of that.

BEK355

Something does seem odd. If you have had your vin for more than a week, you should have a build date. I would go to the dealer and ask to see the order status report. It should have a line with your name, vin, and schedule(to be built) date. If it says that the date is TBD, that is OK, just a minor delay. I would want to see this in person, on the paper.

Badandy

BEK, I sent you a PM

Again,
Kevin and Bek...........

What are the odds the Mustang will be part of Fords inevitable spring sale? The more $$ I can get towards her the better.

Unfortunately

I dont justify paying $40 more a month in insurance just for some cool sound and a swift motor.
