Ordered 11/3/04, got DORA following week. Dealer called 1/15/05 and said my order had been submitted to plant. No VIN, no build date. What does this mean and how much longer do I have to wait. Dealer is saying mid-March.

 

It means your order was submitted to the plant. Depends on what you ordered on how much longer.

 

I assume that's better than "clean and unscheduled". I ordered on 11/23/04 and I'm still C/U. I just want a build date. The wait won't bother me then since we're covered with snow. I want the car to be here when the snow melts.

 

i also ordered on 11-3 and i havent heard anything except eta is late march early april

 

The basic order of status you will see:

UNSCHEDULED/CLEAN
SUBMITTED TO PLANT
SCHEDULED (also called SEGMENTED) (This is when you will receive a build week)
PRODUCTION LOCKED-IN
BUCKED (Production has started on your vehicle)
PRODUCED
Then it's shipped and it can either be shipped via convoy or rail or both.

I may have left out some other ones, but those are the major one, it's possible you may see Matl Hold, but that's one that you don't want to see.

 

Ordered GT Vert Nov 12th Silver, IUP, Red Int, Shaker 1000, Wheel upgrade, 5 SPD. Checked 800 today and got the VIN#. Had a priorty 10. Today I got a build date week of 2/14. Wow!!

 

Mine said something like "released from plant" does this mean it has left the building and in route to my garage?

 

 

what does "released from foreign plant" mean?

 

It means your imported vehicle has been released by the foreign assembly plant. Is this what your status is?

 

yes that is what it said but what does it mean?

 

i can read the Dealer Status Inquiry Glossary but what does "Released from Foreign Plant" actually mean?

 

I have no idea what it means in regard to a Mustang since it's not imported or built outside the U.S.
