Dealer has a car that is a close match to what I want. He gave me the window sticker and said it "Would be here anyday". After reading all the stories here, I am not to confident in the dealer knowing exactly where it stands in the process. The build date is sometime in May.

Anyway I can find out more info about this car?

 

Ask him for a vehicle visibility report. Or call Ford CS and ask them. I seriously don't think they have VINs assigned to people UNLESS it's explicitly an x-plan order. Mine was an x-plan PURCHASE but the dealer put it in as a stock order. The downside is that Ford CS isn't usually very helpful.

If the build date was early May, that car could be anywhere!

 

Build date looks to be May 25

 

If you look at the trend (using that loosely) from my thread you'll see quick deliveries on the late May cars:

121481 built on 5/19, NOT DELIVERED (pony racer)

126283 build scheduled 5/24, IN PROCESS (mupepe)
126284 built on 5/26, DELIVERED 7/10 (hudson2212)

So yeah, it should be there any day now.

 

Just called the dealer and he said "According to my system the car has arrived. But there is some strange code after it i'm not familiar with so I'm going to check to see where it is".

 

So did you it actually arrive ?


+1 on Ford CS not being very helpful.

 

Just got a call that it did arrive at the dealer and the 'strange code' was because the car is at the paint shop. Must have been damaged during shipping. The guy is trying to get a hold of the paint shop to see what the extent of damage was. He'll then let me know if I even want to consider the car.

Just my f'n luck.

 

I'm sure it's nothing a new body won't fix. . .

(And before anyone else says it... "that's what she said.")
