I dont want to get your hopes up, but my car was supposed to be here October 21.
When it did not show up, the dealer called Ford, and was told it was "no longer" on the train, and would be here November 5.
Well guess what showed up today? The dealer was just as surprised as me, so I hope you are just as lucky.

Sounds fishy to me. Do you have the VIN for the car you put the deposit on? They may be making you wait for another car that was ordered with the same options. No one in here has mentioned anything about a hold because of it being a hot item.

I did not put a deposit down, I already paid cash for the car, but yes, I do have the VIN, and I am hoping I have Jay's luck. Maybe they give me a "worst case scenario date.

It is a dealer here in northern cali, and we paid for it so that all we had to do was just come pick it up, and not have to deal with any paperwork. We knew we wanted it, and the car they were getting was just what we wanted. Why, was that a bad idea? Should one not do that? The kicker is that another dealer just called to tell me he got a mineral grey one on the lot today. I think it is not possible to cancel my deal with the other dealer...is it?

I imagine you signed a sales contract but did that contract list any dates by which delivery was to take place? Did you in fact sign a contract or did you maybe just pay them and fill-out an order of some kind? It just depends on what you did or didn't do as to your ability to back out of the sale. We don't know the details so we can't make any real suggestions.
You haven't taken delivery so no registration or official paperwork has been done as far as your name being tied to that car with the state. I think it is all going to depend on your dealer and what kind of mood they are in. They CAN un-do what has been done up to this point but WILL they?

again, mine was supposed to be here 10/14 and still no car. The kicker is that I'm starting to see them on the road and anyone that knows I'm getting this car calls me to tell me they just saw one on the road. How aggravating is that? Although, I did not pay for the car, especially in full. I would never shell out that kind of dough without my hands wrapped around the steering wheel.

The same for me...I ordered in may, it was supposed to be delivered oct. 2nd and I got it this past tuesday...Surprised the dealer as well. Even his list of incoming vehicles still showed me as TBD. Just goes to show you that they are starting to show up now. I would bet yours will be here either this week or next at the latest. Good luck...

The date and tracking system is NOT accurate in many cases as to delivery. My car was on "Railcar" forever.....well 2 weeks anyway, when It takes one day at most to get from plant to Buffalo. Anyway same as couple of the guys in this thread, no ETA ,car just showed up. B) I feel your "Pain" but your car will come, and you will be PLEASED!

Picked up a Mustang today-notice I said "a" Mustang, not my Mustang. My original car was purduced 9/8/04, but as of today still "shipped to convoy"- this car has been mia for 50 days. anyway, while searching Ford direct I found a silver gt (my color), at a dealer within 40 miles of my home, so I decide to go see silver in person this morning. Needless to say I brought her home this afternoon. I originally ordered clothe, this one has leather-got an upgrade. Have 97 miles on her already. Something fishy about a car made on Sept 8th and it's no where to be found, but one that was made in Oct is sitting in my garage.
