Deysha,
Hoping you can help me out on tracking my order. This VIN is 1ZVBP8CF4D5253766. The dealer is saying an ETA of next week, I was hoping for some more detail.

 

Wise advice, at least in step one.

What I do is first try to get make them want to see things my way - the classic win/win is always the best result.

Barring that, then it's time to press hard; not evil hard, it's delicate. Have a firm front, hopefully backed up by facts and a situation you are presenting that's reasonable. Your attitude should convey that you're not willing to back down easily. Maybe they'll cave since it appears to be an easier path. Usually ends up as a neutral/win.

People hate to lose. But, if you must, use leverage that you have. Maybe you have a way to MAKE them see your way. It might be the best outcome for you, but it's not likely to be a happy outcome for them. Life happens, and they might just have to deal with it.

Getting a bit off topic there, I apologize. Entirely on topic, I picked mine up yesterday! Ordered 8/6, received 9/25 (arrived late 9/24). I'm in SE Michigan, so transport time was same day. A GT, if that helps anyone track typical build times through August / September. I ordered from a large dealership.

Before anyone asks, no pics yet. It needs some TLC, a good coating or two of Zaino, ima gonna make that paint absolutely gleem. Hopefully this weekend if work doesn't get too demanding coming up . . .

It's been said "it's worth the wait" . . . 6-8 weeks as being quoted when I ordered is entirely in the range of worth the wait.

Thanks as always Deysha for your tracking!

 

Oh... you're "that" guy. Thanks.

Sorry my ignorance seems annoying. I don't know the relation between "sent to production" & the build date. Your latest post gives me the info I needed.

My concern is that that car is built sooner than the 10/1 build date & delivered sooner to the dealer. I absolutely don't want it at their location 1 second longer than it has to be there because I am not expecting them to call me when it comes in. Not that I don't trust this dealer. It's just that based on how he has handled the customer service part of this deal, I don't trust the dealer.

 

Thanks again Deysha and crew for baby sitting us freaks while we jones for our cars. I can affirm it's agonizing while you wait, but it will all work out. When I finally saw my car my heart skipped a beat and I was stoked. All that misery quickly passes and as each order said before me, which pissed me off, it was worth the wait. Brought it home an hour ago.

Thanks for the support all and good luck with your deliveries.

 

It is a beauty. Congratulations!!! And thanks for the encouraging words. Enjoy it. We follow... Sooner than later.

 

I sent you a PM, mustangmjb.

You’re very welcome and congrats, JoesCat!!

Don’t worry, UOP Shadow. I’ll walk you all the way till it arrives.

You’re very welcome, chessmanmark! That’s one nice looking ride you got there.

Deysha

 

Thanks for the update Deysha! Now the tracking begins for arrival!

 

Deysha, you've got PM

 

Mention it and ask for it at your dealer. I got lucky and 1st brochure had one. Then I got $750 "coupon" in the mail, obviously because I had filled out webforms shopping for the Mustang - so try doing that real quick. But, when I mentioned the coupons to my dealer, he had already taken the $750 off, I didn't use either of them. You can only get it once of course, the various ways to lop off $750 is not additive.

Good luck! You WILL get that deal!

 

You’re welcome.

Thanks. I’ll get back to you as soon as possible.

Deysha

 

Hey Deysha... just want to make sure you got my PM... thanks

 

Thanks Deysha... one more week to go!

Got the window sticker today... Looks like the build date is 10/3 instead of 10/1.

 

Thank You To The Most Divine Deysha!
I have my VIN!! Estimated build date of 10/22. I feel blessed!
Thank you!!

 

when did you order?

 

Anyone else's shipping get delayed? How long did you have to end up waiting? I'm a little upset that my car is complete but it's sitting somewhere.

 

I ordered on May 25. Locked in by Ford on July 13. VIN today 9/27. Estimated build of 10/22.

 

I did and I sent you an update.

Woo hoo!

Haha! You’re very welcome.

Deysha has informed me my ride has entered the production today and hopefully I'll see it the week of the 11th of October. It's time to start shopping for winter shoes.

 

I originally was told the car would come in on Saturday, then it got pushed back to Thursday, but the car came in on Monday. I needed to get a check from the bank and decided not to go on Saturday, then wished I had later. My advice, if you can't get a day off during the week, is have your check ready.

 

Got one coat of Zaino Z-2 applied before winter, whew! Hopefully a second coat if the weather and available time is in my favor.

My camera's decent, though it was full sun today making Candy Red look lighter and flatter than it is in person.

And the peril of it now being very very shiny - it's reflecting everything in the area. Still, the car's entirely clean and is happy to be home!
