Well, I called Ford again and had an unusually long hold time of about 12 minutes (would you people PLEASE quit calling when I'm trying to get through!?!?!)

Good news: The car was built on time -- 5/4/2010.
OK news: The car is "in transit" (???) with a NEW ETA of 5/15 (was 5/8.)

Ten days to go from Detroit to NoVA? I can do it in 8 hours. Yes, yes, I know but still.

Absolutely nothing bad at all. Just getting excited to get this new toy.

 

be happy, mine was built on 4/26 and I don't get my tell 5/16!

 

I can't wait to see pics of your car! I thought I wanted to go with the white MCA, but after seeing kona again last night I think I'm back on that one again!

I haven't been able to track down a pic of a kona MCA - only black, grabber & red

 

That's good news. Only a week left until you get it. Mine was built on 4/12 with an ETA of 5/5. As of today, it's still sitting in their lot

 

5/16 is Sunday. Kinda doubtful, huh?

Even my Saturday delivery makes me skeptical from a dealer standpoint. Will they have everyone they need on hand to receive, prep, and deliver it? I'd LOVE to get that sucker on Saturday around lunch time and take out out for about 36 hours of non-stop fun.

 

When did you order your car again?

 

Rail transportation is hard to predict. My ETA is week of 5/29, but I wouldn't be surprised if it slips a bit.

 

Out of all the pre-production cars, there were NO Kona MCA's that I'm aware of so it will be interesting to finally see one ... hopefully I'll be showing off MINE by the end of this week !!

yeah i was wondering about the sunday thing too, but both the dealer and the 800 number gave it to me. but i have a feeling i will be lucky if i get it the "week of" 5/16.

 

I am so jealous! I'll get mine on order soon

Have you had the pleasure of driving the new 6 banger yet? I got to drive one last night! I put a little write-up on it on one of the other posts...gotta go look for it

 

Order was "entered" on 4/13. I signed the buyers order on 4/3.

Pretty swift if you ask me (except at the dealer.)

 

Dealer told me last night when I put mine in that it will be tagged as a Priority 2 - would take about 6 weeks. I have to special order since I am getting the glass roof. He said there was only ONE V6 MCA with a glass roof in all of the US in dealer stock right now

 

Well, just called Ford, ETA is holding at 5/6/10 so far. Ordered Feb2 then built 4/14, 1st ETA 4/28, 2nd ETA 5/3 hopefully third scheduled ETA is the charm.

On a side note, day I ordered my car I ordered a Mustang Jacket too. It was out of stock and got backordered for an ETA of Feb28, then ETA changed to 4/30, current ETA is 5/31. Seems, like the car just might win the delivery race.

 

You're not going to be any more or less cool with the jacket.

 

Yea discussing this is getting old!But here is my info anyway.

Ordered 2-12 built 4-8 1st ETA 4-19 2nd ETA 4-26 3rd ETA 4-26.Wait that don't seem right!

Called the 800# today & the ETA is 4-26.Thats the best they can do they SUCK!My car is still sitting in the parking lot.The famous RAMP 51 yea you guys know this lot by now!My car is becoming very familiar with RAMP 51!Today the rep said AAI warehouse haha!

SHIP THEM ALREADY!

 

my current plan is to order a Kona V6 MCA MT with HID's, so I can't wait to see and hear about yours!

(though I was thinking the stone interior would be sharp with the blue and gray exterior)

 

Does getting a glass roof make your order take longer or something ?

 

Build Date 4/28
In Transit 4/30

In 5 days the railroad has moved it 329 miles. Its not even half way to where it goes on a truck.

They are killing me!

PS Once in transit your dealer can look and see exactly where your car was at the last update by the railroad.
They usually update it whenever it reaches each hub-transfer point.

 

Mine was ...
Ordered 2/18 with a priority of 10 (also was 1st '11 order for my dealer).
Invoice was dated 04/08
and it was built on 04/15
and sch ETA was 04/28

Ever since I moved from Los Angeles and discovered NASCAR, my sense of "cool" hasn't been te same.
