If it makes you feel better my car was already built by its 6th week lololol

 

Thanks for the update Deysha, hope it will be loaded soon !

Can I go and pick it up ?????

 

I PMed you the info deysha, let me know if you need anything else

 

Well, it's time for me to bow out of this thread. Many thanks to Deysha and the others here for the info & updates regarding Ford's ordering process. I can't say that the experience was enjoyable, but with all y'all, it was bearable.

Thanks again.

All of you still waiting for your vehicles, especially the GT500 folks. GOOD LUCK! Patience is a virtue. And if that is not one of your virtues, Deysha will put up with you if you politely ask her for weekly updates.

 

^THIS!!! without this thread and Deysha the wait would have been unbearable.

 

Thanks Deysha!!!!

Got my ETA!!

 

Thank you Deysha and my Dealer!
I feel lucky enough to have one of the few dealers who has kept me updated within a day of hearing from Deysha! I have a delivery date to my dealer on 10/30/12. I know it's an ETA but perhaps the shipping department has streamlined their deliveries. Here's to luck!

 

Just pulled up my window sticker today, build date is 10/23 and (initial) ETA is 11/3. I'm not betting on the ETA but I'll certainly have my fingers crossed!

 

Ooh, you're right in front of me! I should have my sticker soon! The build date for me was quoted as the week of the 22nd... My fingers are crossed as well!

 

That ETA will change for sure..

My understanding is that until the car is officially built Ford is giving an "Theorical" ETA based on the day it should be finished + typical transport time to your dealer. which is a "Best scenario ETA"

Then after the car is officially built they are then planning the routes and shipment and will revise that ETA. Your car then goes in "Awaitng transport" and will stay in the Flat Rock parking until your turn comes for shipping.

I understand that it would probably difficult for Ford to start planning transportation too early in the process as production can change and it can become a moving target, therefore that's why they probably wait until it's in the parking lot and ready.

In a nutshell that's why the first ETA is always closer the the build date, as it assume no waiting for shipping. But once it's complete they revise that date based on shipping backlog and becomes your 2nd, 3rd or 4th ETA..

 

I absolutely agree!!! Not only does she keep us up-to-date on the various steps of the process, but she gives us info that is helpful in understanding the process. If we're experiencing something that's particularly frustrating with the process, one thing is certain, it's not Deysha's fault.

 

You’re welcome. You sure can… from your dealer!!

Thanks! I’ll get back to you tomorrow.

LOL! Thanks, UOP Shadow!

You’re very welcome, guys! Thanks for all the love!

Deysha.
From your experience, how long does it take an order to go from "Unscheduled - Clean" to the issuance of the VIN? This is for a GT500.

 

PM sent, thank U =D Deysha

 

Thanks Deysha. As everyone else has said, you do an amazing job putting up with all of us impatient soon to be owners ...

 

Lol, hopefully some of your luck will flow my way. You have a sweet ride . Hope you enjoy it.

I'm sure the options i picked aren't helping any. Track packs seem to take longer for some reason

 

Amazing ride Shadow !!!! Color combo looks great. Enjoy and turn those back tires a few times for me. It will likely be snowing by the time i get mine
Lol

 

On the way home from work (I work 5min from dealer) the truck carrying my car drove past me...so I turned around and followed it to the dealer lol.

Couldn't get it tonight as they need time to inspect/prep/detail, so I'm gonna pick it up tomorrow.

 

I got a surprise call from the dealer that my car arrived earlier than expected. I picked it up and brought it home. I don't miss my '07 no more!

 

That parking lot confuses me
