a little bird told me it got built yesterday

The ERL must be sleeping late this morning because she doesn't know yet.

 

Please let me know when your status changes, mine has not.

 

This may make you feel a little better, at lease give you
some hope.

For a couple weeks the ERL was telling me "As of April 2nd
your car is scheduled to be built the week of March 28th"

then finally on April 6th she changed her tune to the car had
been shipped by rail. At this point, I figured I had a couple
more weeks of waiting. I got the call Friday April 8th to come
pick up my 2005 Mustang Gt.

Hope it works out as well for you.

 

what state are you in?

 

My ERL status finally changed to "As of April 8th, your vehicle has been shipped by convoy carrier".

Is there still a chance it can get held up in QA?

 

shipped is shipped, it's on the way

 

Dealers get a kickback for higher APR's?? OMG If I had known that I never would've have signed the deals I did for my last two cars. This really bites. Thanks for the info though.

 

get used to that. she is still telling me "As of April 3rd, your vehicle has been shipped by convoy carrier".

 

I'm in Virginia, I believe our cars are shipped by
train to NC, then trucked up to us.

 

Congradulations Dustin! Hopefully it wont be long now and we will have some warm weather long term up here in New England so you can enjoy it. Im still C/U as of last night. Id send the Robot Lady some roses and candy if I thought it would help

 

Yea the ERL was always behind the times for me too, usually almost a week whenever I checked.

Heck as far as I know it probably still says shipped via convoy and I've had the car since March 22nd

 

Don't be too upset. Banks will also offer lower rates to dealerships than they will advertise to the general public. Dealerships can be a big source of 'leads' for banks. Think of the dealership as your loan broker, sometimes they'll get you a better rate than you could've gotten on your own.

 

What does Ford Credit kick back to dealers for people that get 0% APR?

 

jwede... no clue

Not sure if Ford Credit ever kicks anything back.

 

woo hoo shipped April 10th!

 

Dustin, hang in there man. We spent last weekend looking all over the rail yards trying to catch a glimpse of ours. Finally arrived at the dealer Monday, after I had boarded a plane for a business trip.

I have no idea where the "rail yard" in NH is. My guess is they go to Worcester, MA like UPS but I'm not sure.

 

Not if you have the VIN #. Just have the Dealer fax you the Purchase Order and with that you can get the Bank draft. Then your loan is done and you are locked into the rate. I did this and had the draft (basically a check from the Bank) for about 2 weeks before the car showed up. Then just give them the draft at closing. Now GO!!
