Delay Explained (or so I heard)
Wasn't getting far with the dealer, so I called the Ford customer service line. The guy I spoke to said they couldn't decide which cars to ship first -- special customer orders or dealer stock.
He claimed that they've decided to ship our orders first, so we don't abandon the orders and just buy from what's on the lot.
I'm not sure that his information is correct
. . . just passing it along.

My money is still on one of the cars being built on 4/20 got an extra 'package' that Ford doesn't offer. So for the past few days the line worker who lost his package was searching each car in the lot for it.

Did they put early incentives on the '11? Maybe ones that will expire in 7 days?

Reminds me of an old Dilbert strip where Dogbert decided to become a used car salesman and was telling some schmuck that this one car used to belong to a Columbian diamond smuggler, and it corners sluggishly, almost like there were weights hidden in the door panels... haha

If they are going to come up with a lie, you'd think they'd at least come up with one that wasn't quite so laughable! Can you imagine -- a bunch of Ford executives walking around in circles with their heads in their hands for two weeks, saying "I'm so confused
-- which ones should we ship first?"

That customer service guy must have been a former car salesman. It seems like many dealerships have as rule number one "If the customer asks a question you don't know the answer to, just make something up."
