Those of you who have ordered and received your cars, how close to the ETA did you actually get your car? My ETA is Monday (17th), can I actually hope to get it then or is it a pipe dream?

 

At this point its probably anyone's guess, just don't get your hopes up. My first ETA was 4/28, 2nd 5/3 and final 5/6/10 - still waiting...

 

The ETA to actual deliveries are all over the place because a high percentage of the early builds are / were kept in the lot pending some unknown fix. My guess is the earlier the car, the greater the difference between ETA and actual delivery. Only time will tell.

 

My first ETA was 5/8 but that changed on the 1st and has been the 17th since then. I was told on the 12th the car was in transit, sooooo.....heres hoping.....!

 

I vote pipe dream. Though not totally impossible. Every once and awhile, a pipe dream may come true.

 

I've been told in "Transit" several times but now I ask the Reps to read every single word listed on their computer, all updates cease after arriving at the mysterious RAMP 51. I'm not sure but the Reps might consider "in transit" to confirm its left the plant, were as I orginally assumed that meant it was on a CHOO CHOO Train.

 

do our ordered cars show up on the ford site when you search dealer inventories? I noticed that it took 2 weeks from the time a GT showed up on the dealer inventory to the day it was delivered.... just a thought

 

I hope not. My dealer has a 2011 Gt Convertible in Ford's system already, sticker reads it was built last week. Nada on my Feb2 preorder.

 

well mine has been built april 29, but thats about it...

 

I'd say that if your dealer can see the transit information in his system showing your car has actually moved from AAI, then your date may be a good one. That would suggest that the car is not sitting at some ramp and is on the rail system heading to the dealer, (barring any delays with the shipper).

I've had several ETA's that came and went ramp 51, then 5P, the latest ETA of 5/20 shows the car is moving !! with several tracking stops and now at Walbridge OH. I tend to believe this latest ETA, four days ~800 miles but I'm still keeping my fingers crossed and my meds handy.

 

My car didnt make the ETA but It was the because of a shortage of truck transportation at the destination rail terminal. This was due to the release of all the on hold cars during the previous 3 to 6 days. It sat 217 miles from my dealer for 5 days before the cars ahead of it were loaded and delivered. That made it 4 days late.

 

Retail Orders don't show up. Only cars that are available for purchase (Stock Orders).

Dont get to discouraged when the system goes quite. One of the On Hold Cars (Build 4/01) showed up at my dealers on 5/03 and the System still had it as "On Ramp - Awaiting Transit". According to the dealer its all to common for this to happen.

 

My ETA was 4/30. Still not here.

Called the Rep and they said it was "In transit." Still have no idea when the car will be here.

 

ETA was/is still 5/6. It's been "in transit" since 4/20 which, to Ford, simply means that it's in a rail car (has been handed off to the rail company) but doesn't mean that it's actually moving.

 

I had two ETA's come and go. My Mustang arrived 18 days past my last ETA.

 

My original ETA was 4-19 so by this WED It'll be a MONTH late.It could be me but this seems unacceptable!Yeah yeah ETA is just that but thats way too far off.

 

Well considering the hold wasnt released on GTs until 4/27 it would have been hard to make that one. My dealer has received a 4/01 Build nearly a week ago so we know they had gotten that far into the lot (First in last out. It sucks but thats the way it is.)

 

LOL! I have a dealer build of 24 May and a Ford CS build of 17 May! SO....what kind of eta will I have!!! LOL! It will get here when it arrives (as Yogi Berra would say!)

 

What does the window sticker say?

 

I just hope mine comes before 7/4 ( build 5/20...eta 5/22 yeah yeah , I believe that !) so I can use my rebate.. I will order new brochures every other day so I don't have an expired rebate.
