2014 Ordered/Built/Delivered Thread
That site's had issues for the last few weeks. I've got a window sticker for mine and occasionally I get that message too. Try again later today.
I have read about some having them keep everything on and they did it them selves.
Thank you for the idea. I think I will have them leave floors and Steering wheel on.
I can definitely see the appeal of doing all the prep yourself and being the only one to unwrap/clean/detail the car...but you can't see stuff until you get it home, which is too late, and I can definitely see it from the dealer's perspective too. How can they take responsibility for a scratch/blemish/minor ding when the car left with the panel still covered? They had no chance to note it on delivery, and you don't get a chance to note it to them. I work in the industry and I do see it all the time. Delivery wrap comes off, what the hell is that, claim to the manufacturer or transport company, problem solved. The minute you sign the delivery slip and take the car off the lot, that kinda stuff is your problem.
My dealer has the "like it or leave it" for 48 hrs, which is awesome because I already gave them one of the Mustangs back and got an ordered one. I have the satisfaction this time to know that is mine coming off the truck.
These cars have a laughable amount of protective covering on the outside compared to most other makes…a single tiny piece on the front and rear bumpers, a tiny piece behind each front wheel, and about an 8" square piece on the driver's door…Ford doesn't even put a piece on the rear decklid anymore. No wheel protection of any kind either.
Contrast this with VW or Audi, who not only covers the entire topside of the car with plastic, a lot more around the door handles, the bumpers, the wheels, etc., but also puts the entire car in a bag with just a windshield and headlight cutout.

Meanwhile Ford chooses to tempt fate with rail dust etc, pretty much with no protection whatsoever:

When I took delivery I didn't mind them cleaning her off. Just didn't want them to brand my pony with their name. Also didn't want hole drilled into front bumper to install that ugly license plate holder
To each his own. While I do take good car of the paint on my cars, I have no problem with the way most dealers clean their cars for delivery. When I signed my order, there was a black fusion in their delivery area that was immaculate. I admired it for a few minutes while I was waiting for the sales manager. If they start mine off in that condition, it means I just gotta slap the plates on and drive it that first day, not spend hours cleaning it. That's for day 2. Having bought multiple new cars over the past 20 years, my mind won't be changed this time around. I've always asked for the same thing, that's to leave the plastic on the carpet. This is my first black car, but not my first rodeo.
Well I finally got through the website and apparently it was ordered 3/29, like planned and it's still in the order process!! Wtf?!?! It's been over 30 days and still in the order process!! Wow
Also I'm looking at the picture generated and the list of options I had picked, they put stripe delete! I ordered mine with the race stripe!
I'm seriously pissed! Can that just be a website mix up? My order paper shows the stripe option selected
I can't believe I still over 60 days to wait..

Aside from that though, I ordered no stripes. My summary says "Less tape stripe" AND "Less racing stripes". What's the exact wording under Exterior?
Here it is.I have to take it back tomorrow so they can do the pre-inspection on it since no one was there to do it, they also have to install the wheel locks that came with the package, the locks were in the trunk to be added at dealer. then i have to bring it back tuesday and they are going to tint the windows on it. I also noticed the wing is bigger with the rear camera in it. its wider and has the indents in it as well, my other was not as big, i like this one much better.
