Ordered...now what?
#1
I ordered my GT on November 3rd, and I'm gonna call up my dealer tomorrow to find out some information. What should he be able to give me? I'm looking for a VIN # or a build date perhaps, I'm not really sure. What should I expect from him?
#4
I ordered mine on the 6th of November and called the dealership on Monday of this week. He didn't have a VIN, a DORA (what is that exactly? I know stupid question), or any build date info on it. Ford hasn't called him or anything. Although, I wonder if he's doing what he can to find out about the car's info. Should I be worried? :scratch:
#5
From what I know the DORA are automatically printed the next morning with their status reports. It's a "receipt" that Ford got the order from the dealer. Also it depends on the dealers Mustang allocations whether the order will be delayed.
#6
Hmm, I asked him for either the DORA(being instructed by a friend) or a VIN# and he said he hasn't heard anything from Ford. I hope this guy isn't trying to pull the wool over my eyes, because I will smell that out pretty quickly, and believe me the salesman will not want that. I put a $1000 deposit on this car and will not hesitate to go back and demand the money back if they start yanking my chain. Thanks for the explanation kintaro.

prepare to wait a while. Mine was orderd early spring when the order bank first opened up, and I have still yet to get mine. ETA of December 18th, build date of November 29th.
Good luck!
Good luck!

You bring up a good question, rSm00th. Why is it that you see really quick turnarounds for some and then for those in your situation where you ordered more than 5 months ago and haven't gotten your car. That's pretty insane. I wonder if it has anything to do with locale? Have you stayed in touch pretty regularly with the dealership?

My car was the 2nd Mustang ordered from the dealer and was put under their early order incentive program. For whatever reason I got struck with bad luck and it didnt start moving till a few weeks ago.
the computer says it's going to be built on Monday, so I'm going to be crossing my fingers all weekend!

that must be sad having everyone get theirs that ordered after yours
I would feel sorry for you but since you will actually get one, i don't really.

but yeah, the wait will only make it that much more sweet when it rolls off the transport into my arms
