I ordered on 9/21 and have nothing, no VIN, no build date, not a thing. Given the order date, is that unusual? Shouldn't have i have gotten something? I know about the delay for the IUP, but other people on here ordered later than me and have either info or thier car!!!!! What gives?!?!?! What should I do

Just ask your dealer what their allocation is, when it is and what week yours will be pulled. This is all information they should be able to provide.

I would defintely call the dealer to see what's up. I ordered my GT on 10/8 and didn't hear anything from them for over a month. Then I called on 11/8 and all they could give me was the VIN so I took that and called Ford Customer Care and found out that my car was in the process of being built and had a delivery date of 11/26. Then on 11/16 I got a call from my dealer saying that my car was in so after doing this
for a while, I am going to pick it up today so I can drive around and do this

I have my DORA, I've had that since a few days after my order was placed. But I should've gotten the VIN and Build date. Does anyone else have this problem?

What's a DORA?
I ordered mine on 11/5 - my dealer told me 4 to 6 weeks. I called him yesterday & he had nothing . Said that he should have some information for me by the end of the week. :bang: He still claims that I'll have it before Christmas... I'm trying to be optimistic, but... :scratch:

Get involved with the dealer. They have more control than you think. I learned the hard way. My order didn't get picked up for 120 days.
1. Allocation - if they don't have one your car will never get picked up.
2. Priority - won't get picked up if your car has a higher number than his other orders.
3. Commodities - parts/options that are available but in short supply. Dealer gets a list that shows the probability of a car getting built with certain equipment - either live with it or change the order.

I did not think they would know. I did order from a small dealer. I regret it now

I got loan approval outside of Ford Credit & the letter is good for 30 days - then I have to renew. The dealer is saying that once they get the VIN # I can come in & close even though they might not have the vehicle. I ordered a S.Silver GT / Premium/Manual/Fully loaded minus red seats. What do you guys think?? I've driven by a couple lots. A whole lot of v6's out there - a couple GT's none in silver ??? :notnice:

I would say there was a problem Jorge. I also ordered from a small dealership just outside of Phoenix to save on taxes. I had a VIN number within 7 days of ordering my car (Ordered around 10/15)...
