I have seen a few people state that despite the IUP hold that is supposed to last through January, they are receiving build dates that are in January, even though they ordered the IUP. Granted, a build date is not truth until it is built, but...
My question is, if you are one of these people, when did you order your car? Did you order it BEFORE the IUP hold, and you are now at the front of the line, indicating there might be a "bit" of a stockpile of IUP parts starting to show up? Or (being a bit optomistic here) did you order AFTER the IUP hold, indicating that maybe this is starting to shake out and cars are going to start becoming available soon with the IUP?
Yes, this topic has been beat to death, but I've never seen this particular question asked. So there!

Build date is 17 Jan 05. My dealer said that there was no problem with my IUP, but was not sure about mycolor. She said that she would give me a call before my build date to let me know.

Ordered 11/10/05. Got my vin from the dealer today and I called Ford Customer Service and checked my order (options, etc including IUP/18G). They are showing a build week of 1/24 -may or may not come true but having not heard anything since ordering, will consider it a "good day".

I will go to my Ford Store tomorrow and see what the status is on the car I ordered on Nov. 1st. Even though I bought an existing Torch Red from them, they wanted the Silver one to be built for their inventory. Even though the car has been sold to someone else, I would think they would tell me the status of that order since I placed it......and since I purchased from them also (just a different car/color).

Ordered : 9/22
Build Week : 1/3
Bucked: 1/6
Still showed "bucked" today so I am guessing the system is just slow to update. Also dealer ETA 1/23 - 1/30. Expecting 1/23 - 2/7.
No bananas for me till she's in the driveway.

Ordered 10/19 (with IUP)
Order pulled 12/9
Scheduled to be built week of 1/3
Locked in for production 1/5
And just this moment found out!!!
"As of Jan 9, your unit has been shipped via convoy carrier"
YIPPPEEE! My dealer called and told me my ETA was Jan 21. Do you think it will take that long?
