I've ordered my '05 and have my confirmation order form. I have some questions though as to what some of the info on it means. What do the entries in
the following fields represent?

Order No., Priority, Tag, Price Level, Order Type.

Thanks.

These are quotes from BEK355

Quote:

the sequence of the order numbers have no significance. The order number is made up by the person entering the order into the computer and can be any four digits they choose.

Quote:

Build-able priority codes run from 10 to 85, the lower number being higher priority. As in 10, the dealer wants the car built asap, and 85 being just a for-stock-order.
This number can be any number between 10 and 85.
Ford tells the dealers weekly which options are on hold for that week. We will know any restricted options the week before the first allocation pull. Mid June.
Sold orders, type 1, get build priority.

Quote:

Also, a 99 priority code will never be built, so don't worry about that. Order type 1 means sold order, type 2 is for dealer stock.
Only when your dealer can show you a VIN# corresponding to your order # will your car be scheduled to be built by FMC.

Quote:

If the order type 1(sold customer order) has a lower priority code than a type 2 oder it will usually get pulled for production quicker. If any order has options on it that Ford has restrictions on because of production restraints, then that order will be delayed.

I'm not sure about Tag and Price Level. I hope this helps and I hope BEK355 doesn't mind me quoting him.

wow. great info...don't remember seeing that before. wish i had.

i think my order priority was 12...or maybe 10. i dunno. i think my dealer said they were ordering 3 cars...so maybe their cars are using the 10 and 11, and mine is 12. better go home and read my DORA again. great bedtime story.

Thanks, actually. I wanted to help out, but I didn't want to have to write it all again. Tag and price level are irrelevant to a customer, so don't worry about them.
