Is my dealer of it?
#1
Ordered mine 2-19 and got a VOC that day but no DORA, called today and the new car manager said that until they get a VIN from Ford no DORA, very different from what I've been reading on these forums. So who's right? I thought the DORA only had the dealer codes and order number anyway and maybe a partial VIN. So is this guy full of it? Plus I'm getting Z-plan (thanks grandma!) so seeing the invoice is a non-issue here.

VOC = Vehichle Order Confirmation
DORA = Dealer Order Receipt Acknowledgement
The dealer can print the VOC immediately and the DORA usually the next business day.
They are starting you off with
so you are certainly taking your chances with them unless they come clean real quick with these two documents.

I ordered my GT 2/16/05 and on that day I got a copy of the Vehicle Order Confirmation (VOC). But today, 3/4/05, I tried to get a copy of my DORA and the dealer did not have one and basically told me I could not get it yet. They told me to check back in the beginning of April for a build date. I'm not so sure that the dealer knows what a DORA is. It sure seems frustrating that Ford cannot build more GTs. You can pick out V6 cars on the lot now. Why don't they focus on making more Gts to catch up on the orders. By the time we get our GTs the 06 cars will be coming out. I hope my car is really ordered since I do not have a DORA. Anybody got any helpful info? Thanks, this forum is very helpful I guess I'm just hoping that I really ordered a car. They did not want a deposit and I did not sign anything.

Thanks for all of the input, had a "come to Jesus" talk with the new car manager today to clear the air, picking up the DORA today with his sig. on it just in case! After he realized I was an educated consumer and knew what I was talking about we actually had a "nice conversation'. He confirmed the 3,200 plus units waiting for rail cars and said he has a guy who ordered a GT w/IUP back in September and can't convince him change it! Anyway let the waiting begin! I appreciate the help.

I know 3 others who got there GT's from this dealership no w/no problems (all ordered) and that's one reason I went with them plus I personally have gotten my last 4 Ford's from them, again w/no problems to speak of. This just the first time I've ordered a car and probably the last! My last GT, an '87, I bought new off the lot....my how times have changed!

IUP is still an issue as it's restricted on Karpro's commodities reports, however, it's not the issue it once was. Paul, good job on the way you handled the dealer. I'm sure he'll be a lot less likely to BS you later, and I'm sure you'll get your car sooner now.

How can IUP still be an issue? I ordered a Convertible GT Premium with IUP on Jan 25. My car has been built and will be at my dealer probably before the end of next week. Thats only 7 weeks from order to taking delivery of the car. Pretty quick transaction IMO considering its a GT Convertible!

I don't want to drag this into an IUP thread, but IUP is still restriced, but they're being built reguarly. Ford is only allowing a certain percentage of the cars to have the IUP, lately it's been running around 33%. Congrats on the quick delivery of your vert. You got lucky, there's some who've been waiting since Oct that still haven't taken delivery.

My God!! Waiting since October! You have patience!! Mine is in the "convoy stage" wherever that is.My dealer received all the "paperwork" on the car this week (what that is i have no clue) he tells me it should arrive next week.
